A Local's Favorite at the Harbor

by TheBeachBum at Citysearch

A friendly, mostly locals bar with good drinks in a beautiful location within spitting distance of water, what else could you ask for? Turk's stands out with its copper bartop, overhead aquariums, and floor-to-ceiling photographs of the late owner and Hollywood strongman actor Harry "Turk" Varteresian (who also ran a restaurant in Sunset Beach that he sold and eventually became Turc’s bar). He passed on a few years back and his daughter now runs the place much the same as her father.

The burgers are fantastic; as are the homemade soups (I like the clam chowder). A great place for a weekend breakfast/lunch or an evening drink and dinner. I recommend the pepper steak or the prime rib.

  • Pros: Friendly Staff, Great View, Good Drinks, Good food
  • Cons: Usually crowded at the bar

Great Place if you like Drunks

by shelly887 at Citysearch

Probably the worst bar in Orange County. Tons of old crusty drunks. Poor service and rude owners. Food is decent but not worth the atmosphere. Go somewhere else in the harbor.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

great local bar near the harbor!

by ahanlon1202 at Citysearch

Turk's is a Dana Point institution. Right on the harbor, Turk's offers strong drinks and huge portions for great prices. The place has a killer jukebox, and you'll hear lots of great stories from the local fisherman who make Turk's a home away from home.

  • Pros: great drinks, huge portions, local atmosphere
