Absolutely love this bar! It has an amazing selection on the jukebox. Great drink specials. Jenni and Andy have introduced us to so many new drinks (Green tea & water moccasin) .75 pool. Great vibe, great bar. read more

What a great local bar. Our group of 14 dropped in and bartender gabby was great. Fast and friendly

This place is iconic! I have always enjoyed this bar. My only issue is a tool Heffe cokebrain Johnson that comes in daily for hours on end and cock blocks the barmaidens withendless BS. However, this place has a fine history of serving great drinks in a chill atmosphere. Whether you want to play pool and be loud or enjoy an intimate fireside chat, Turcs meets all your socializing needs. I those to play a lot of pool here. read more

We came here for more drinks after leaving Taco Surf. It was a serious Ben, Chris & Pete night out. Service was cool..mixed drinks were yummy. read more

Worst fucking bar ever! Piece of shit bartender. Has long dark hair. The second we walked in she was a complete bi***. She was completely rude. Ive never been treated so bad in my life by any bartender. We even tipped her good with our first drinks hoping her attitude would turn around and noooope it got worst. Never would I recommend this bar to anyone. In response to the below comment. I can assure you, we did not walk in the bar to a smiling happy bartender or the customers. The environment wasn't good at all. The second we ordered our drinks, your bartender had an attitude about us showing IDs. Our friend even said maybe if I show her my military ID her attitude will change. Noooope. Still rude. But whatever idc about a rude bartender. There was an incident about a water cup, one guy sitting at the bar had an issue and said something. My friend obviously said something back while the bartender was in our faces screaming throwing her hands around. We walked into the pool area and separated ourselves. All that was said was we don't feel comfortable anymore, let's down our drinks and go. So that's what we did. However it was my friends birthday, she was pretty wasted as that's who the water cup was for, well she didn't know what was going on and we just kept saying come on let's go and she was confused. Accidentally took her drink outside. Never did anyone take drinks in the car! She was right outside the patio area trying to figure out why we were leaving. The bartender comes running outside yelling causing a scene and starts videoing everyone! Like come on! And I really don't care if the police was called and a report was made about my Jeep Grand Cherokee. We did nothing wrong. You clearly have an issue with the bartenders as previous customers have written almost the same review and had the same experience but hey if that's how you want your bar ran, so be it. We won't be back and I'll definitely make sure to let as many people know about our experience. I've been to plenty of dive bars and get that there are regulars and it can get sketchy sometimes but never have I been treated like that by a bartender. The issue started with her. & again... please we did nothing wrong. We had a designated driver that had ONE beer. Trust me... we're not that dumb to first drink and drive in seal beach especially and definitely wouldn't get in the car and drive it drunk while being videoed. Watch out fellow bar mates, your bartender will video you . Also no one brought their drinks into the car. & the only reason I am responding to this is the fact that I am so shocked you let that behavior work at your bar. Yeah I'm sure the customers agreed with her, they were all super rude regulars. You think they would disagree with their bartender. read more

Hannah and Jenni are the only reason I come to this bar! Great bar strong drinks and great atmosphere! These girls know how to entertain! I love the fish tanks here this bar is awesome! Check it out! read more

Hannah, Jenny, Laura! Some bomb ass chiks who make some bomb ass drinks. You wanna get f*cked up, vibe out to dipemusic, and have some bomb eye candy? Hit up Turc's! Don't think twice read more

i like the fireplaces and the cheap drinks, but its too dark, cramped and loud in there for it to be in my rotation of bars. seeing drunk skanks dancing around and acting crazy IS fun though. Sadly I rickrolled them 2 decembers ago and no one got the joke :( read more

If you are lucky enough to go in on a night that Jenny is working, you are sure to have a great time! Turcs is a very welcoming place with great service. We went in to have one drink and left having a few! Thanks Jenny!! read more

Turcs - Dive Bars Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

See all

If I could rate my experience a 0 I would. My partner and I walked in and asked if drinks were still being served. The bartender did not respond in a respectful manner but instead rudely told us "only if you're 21" with an obnoxious tone. We were so taken aback, but she said "let me see your IDs" so we promptly took them out and I told her I was 24. She scoffed at me to lower my mask, as I had forgotten, and I gave her a funny face because I didn't understand why she was being so rude. My partner gave his ID and after she stared at his ID for an unnecessary amount of time she said in a sarcastic condescending voice "sorry your ID is expired soooooo, I won't serve you". My partner had just turned 25 ten days before and his license had expired. I don't expect bartenders to serve us if there was a legitimate issue, however no one deserves to be treated with such disrespect. Poor business practice. 0 stars. read more

I love this place! Jenny is amazing. She always has a smile and makes the best drinks! Lots of characters and locals that are regulars. Friendly folks, all looking to have a great time. read more

Another favorite dive bar.. i like to watch the coked up people that come in and try to dominate the jukebox.... good times

Jenni was an amazing bartender. She gives amazing drink recommendations and makes killer cocktails like the dirty bloody martini. Love the establishment and the atmosphere. Been going to Harbor House next door for 6 years and I'm glad I finally walked in here. Will definitely be back here soon! read more

This place is terrible! No service jealous waitresses it's lame ... beer is warm and over priced! I suggest across the street! Omg terrible

Hannah and Jenni are the best! Always a good time, they're always attentive and take care of everyone.....whether you're new here or been here for a while, all love no matter what! Best scene in so cal! Good times all day every day! read more

Play some pool have a great cocktail and enjoy the jukebox. Let your hair down and enjoy the crazy locals. I love this place.

Turcs! Just a skip away from me and my babe and we are so grateful! Jenny is always a joy to be around and being gorgeous never hurt nobody! Thanks for making some delish drinks and for playing a nice mix of tunes to sway to. Nothing like getting emotional to Aston Martin and rapping like Rick Ross...then head banging to rock n roll! Okay I'm ready for a drink and a smile now and thanks for the snacks xooxxoo read more

This is a great, clean local dive bar in the Sunset Beach area. Don't serve food but can bring your own food! Great bartenders and cheap drinks especially during happy hours 3-6 pm Mon-Fri. Perfect for playing pool! read more

Jenni is the best!! She gives you snacks and can hold down a good conversation. She also made the most amazing dirty bloody martini on this earth!!! This homey dive bar hits all the spots from the ambiance to the pool tables and games. I'd definitely recommend stopping in! read more

Andi and Gaby are the finest bartenders in all of SoCal. Drop by this place to have a drink!

I've lived in sunset for 6 months now and turcs is still my go-to place. I am most often here during MEGAN's shifts - MEGAN is very sweet, provides great service and pretttyyyy. Always a good crowd easy to get a convo going. Owner is legit, all bartenders are nice. Cheap drinks means they taste better. So long yelp. Bob - fix the lock in the men's room! read more

One of the many stops on me and my friends Sunset Beach beach crawl. I actually don't even remember this place but apparently we stopped by for a drink and a check in so I'm gonna give it 5 stars! Its always a good time if you don't remember right? read more

The bar has it locals just like any other bar. Weird thing was the center columns that hold up the ceiling smell like gasoline. A bit strange. The service was good considering there were only 2 bar tenders who were also the bar backs. Plus it was busy and they held their own. Kudo's to the great women behind the bar slinging the alcohol!! read more

OK so when I lived in Surf Side I found tho place to be very fun. Great staff, cheap drinks and best of all it was walking or I should say stumbling distance to my house. read more

Super fun place with a cool inviting atmosphere! Jenny the bartender was so sweet and welcoming! Wish we lived here so we could come here all the time! read more

Great place to come in for a beer or cocktail and some pool during the day. At night however this place becomes populated with young hipsters who come because "dive bars are cool". read more

Very local bar. Great drink selection and ok prices. Super laid back and the bartenders are great. They can do "frü frü" drinks but don't be a hassle and just order a jack n' coke. read more

Thank u Jen, Hannah, Joy, Andi and.Joyce. u all made my b-day awesome. Love u girls the best.plus all.they locals that have excepted me me here. Also u Bob thanks for the drink other day. Means a lot to me when the boss buys u a drink. read more

WORST bar in sunset/seal area. The rude and horrid bartender who claims to be part owner will scream at you right at closing to leave and if you don't run out far enough after spending lots of money at her so called bar, she'll call you disrespectful. Also, don't ask about the beer selection because you'll get your head bit off for asking such a ridiculous question. Sub par atmosphere. We decided to try this place out on New Years and now we know why we keep driving past this dump. Hopefully it doesn't last long because it doesn't match the good vibes other Sunset bars give out. Don't waste your time and money here. read more

Great bar. New bartender sucks. She thinks she runs this this when it's a local bar. Lift your shield baby. So I never cone back when you work. read more

Great spot for a cold beer. Usually drop by on Jennis shifts. Great conversation and crowd. I love her boobs,best bartender!

Great bar! Wonderful atmosphere. Really feels like home.. Hannah, Jenni and Joyce are all super amazing and are far more than bartenders, they're entertainers! Love turcs!!! read more

Stop by after taco Tuesday and as always Jenni was there with her candy for Valentine's Day and a smile! Always nice to walk in a bar and someone remember you, your drink and things you last talked about! Hard to find that these days. She's always friendly and makes sure everyone is taken care of. read more

If you're looking to served from someone who hates you and hates her job this is the place for you! I've been a local here since the 70's and this used to be our jam. Maybe all the servers will move on and give us our bar back once there off of parol? Stay away read more

This was the second time and LAST time I will ever step foot in this hell hole. I went with 2 friends, we walk in and sit down at the bar, the waitress comes up and ask what we we want and I tell her...hmmm not quite sure yet and she walks away all pissed off. My friend that invited me to go had went to the restroom and when she came back, she had ask the BITCH bartender if she had taken our order and her answer was "I tried to find out what they wanted and they didn't know and I don't have time to wait around until they decide" I basically told her that I never asked her fat ass to wait for anything and that she was a rude f-ing bitch and that I didn't want shit after her being such a BITCH to me. I told my friend that I was going to YELP her ass and she gets right up in my face and says " go ahead, my name is JT" Ugliest F_ed up BITCH for a bartender I have ever met. I had to hold myself back from punching her when she got right up in my face and said go ahead Yelp me. Can't say that she deserves 1 star. read more

I only stop by when Jenni is there. She's a freakin' amazing bar tender! Always greets with a smile and ready to get my order down! It's always the best time when she's there read more

Lets see. It is definitely a dive local bar. Cheap drinks and some crazy type bartenders at night. I swear they do drugs right then and there. I love the crazy eery feeling to the bar. It is a good place to talk to the loner old men at the bar and hear their stories of back in the day. I try to not ever black out at this bar cause i don't really trust the men that want to take me to their boats and are persistant about doing so. Don't get me wrong i go there for the fun lurky feeling when i feel i am going a bit on the deep end cause when i leave, i am the most sane person i know. read more

Worst bar ever. Not only is the bartender rude, she double charged my credit card. I told the story to a friend and he said that the same thing happened to him. Avoid this place like the plague !!! read more
