About this listing

THE BAR & THE PROPERTY
TURCS is renowned for its welcoming wait staff, generous pours, and friendly owner. Established in 1955, this iconic bar is famous for its beachside décor, featuring a Tiki and bamboo vibe. With a full bar, two indoor firepits, two pool tables, TVs throughout, a touch tunes jukebox, and a giant Jenga game, TURCS offers endless entertainment and fun.


The property is a mixed-use gem located in a prime Sunset Beach location, on a 6,077 SF lot at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Anderson. The 2,496 SF ivy-covered, two-story building houses the legendary TURCS Cocktails, once a favorite spot of John Wayne and his close friends. The building features a 1,900 SF first-floor bar area, a 271 SF outdoor patio, and a 596 SF “studio style” apartment upstairs with one bedroom and one bath. Additionally, there is a 271 SF enclosed patio that leads into the bar. The upstairs apartment is a surfer’s dream, offering a peek-a-boo ocean view from the kitchen and a large outdoor deck with a corner ocean view, perfect for summer barbeques and sunset cocktail parties.


THE ACQUISITION
The $3,450,000 purchase price includes the land, building, business, goodwill, FF&E, a fully transferable Entertainment License, and the highly coveted Type 48 Liquor License. Inventory is not included in the purchase but can be negotiated separately. The property boasts its own parking lot, a rarity in Sunset Beach, offering approximately 11 parking spaces, including one ADA-compliant space.



The Type 48 Liquor License is one of the most sought-after licenses due to its rarity and the privileges it grants. This license permits the sale of hard alcohol, beer, and wine until 2:00 am without the requirement to serve food. Additionally, the Type 48 License allows for the on-premises consumption of liquor, beer, and wine, as well as the off-premises consumption of beer and wine. This license significantly enhances the value and appeal of the establishment.
