Description
Evening revelers wandering the sleepy seaside community of Sunset Beach
would be hard-pressed to find a dive bar with more charm than Turc's. The
establishment is full of nautical tchotchkes: carved wooden sailors and walls adorned with turtle and abalone shells. In the front room, where the full bar is located, authentic bamboo sticks along the ceiling create a tiki-room vibe. The bartender specializes in straight-up whiskey drinks and fuzzy navels for the ladies. An open fire pit provides warmth. The back room is outfitted with two pool tables, a dartboard, a Big Buck arcade game and another fire pit. Behind the pool tables is a wall encrusted with volcanic rock, while the opposite wall is covered with sea-smoothed gray pebbles. The building's age is evident thanks to the the water stains dotting the ceiling, but those only augment the lived-in vibe brought by the salty seaside crowd.
