It's not often that an ICONIC bar, once a favorite stomping ground of John Wayne and his friends, PLUS THE BUILDING AND THE LAND THAT IT SITS ON, located in a PRIME location just steps from the beach goes up for sale. And if you don't take advantage of the opportunity to buy this legendary bar and the property now, you might not get the chance to buy it again for another 40 YEARS! TURCS COCKTAILS is well known for its friendly wait staff, generous pours, and kindly owner. Established in 1955, the famous bar is legendary for its beachside décor accented with a Tiki and bamboo vibe. With a full bar, two indoor firepits, two pool tables, TVs throughout, touch tunes jukebox, and a giant Jenga game; entertainment and fun is endless at Turcs. The property is a mixed-used property situated in a prime Sunset Beach location on 6,077 SF double lot at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Anderson.
