| A pool hall and card room originally located at 245 S. El Dorado Street, on the same block as the ”Manila Club”, in the heart of the "Little Manila" neighborhood. Raided in 1946 for illegal gambling. Around 1970, it moved to 333 S. El Dorado Street. Also called "Bataan Recreation" (see "Archive").
There were a couple of "Bataan Clubs" in Northern California, often associated with the Filipino immigrant community. There was a "Bataan Social Club" (with gambling arrests in 1947) in San Francisco, and a "Bataan Pool Hall" in Isleton (see "Archive"). Some of these establishments may have been connected to each other.
