Turtle Bay
Some people want a little more from their bars—hipness, ambiance, maybe the chance to watch Paris Hilton make out with a Greek billionaire. Turtle Bay does not offer these things. What Turtle Bay does offer, though, are dollar Bud and Bud Light drafts on Wednesday nights. And fifty-cent wings. And a lobster dinner special on Monday nights. Sure, there’s more to Turtle Bay than cheap food and drinks—a full menu is available and there are over 20 beers behind the bar. But that’s not why people come here. They come because hipness and ambiance sometimes aren’t as important as a good time. Or they come because they can’t afford hipness and ambiance yet (let alone Paris Hilton).

Terrible Party Service

I planned on having my birthday party here. Everything had been set up a week before, but when I showed up with 20 of my friends, the bouncers turned us away! They had reached occupancy and we could not get it. When I asked to speak with the manager/planner I was told that she was inside dealing with other people's parties and I was better off "just calling her on Monday." They even directed us to the bar nextdoor since they couldn't gurantee letting us all in. I recieved an e-mail from the planner on Monday asking my friends and I enjoyed ourselves and the extra hour of open bar. Needless to say, my friends and I never got in so I have no idea who she thought she gave the open bar to. She offered to send me gift certificates for myself and my friends and I took her up on the offer. Over a week later, I have not heard back from her nor have I recieved the gift certificates. If you are looking for a good place to have a birthday, DO NOT go to Turtle Bay.

Buff Bill's fan

It seems they are under new ownership, and supporting Bill's fans! Cheap beers and good food. The sunday brunch is $16 and ALL YOU CAN DRINK!! Nuff said.

DON'T GO!!! THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!

DO NOT go here to watch a college game!! Bunch of f***ing ass holes!! Went in October, and was told there was no coat check, no table available to sit at and the drinks were absolutely miserable. But thats not the worst, in the middle of the 4th quarter during a close game THEY SHUT THE GAME OFF TO PLAY MUSIC!!!!!!! Now, I'm not the smartest person when it comes to speaker systems, but shouldn't a 2-story bar have a sound system that can play something different on either floor? The MORONS that own this joint say 'we have to be fair to the people downstairs and play music instead of the game'. IDIOTS!!!! Turn the game on upstairs where the PRIVATE PARTY is going on, and put music on so people can have fun on the lower floor. If you're going to put on your ass hole website that 'we cater to private parties' F***ING at least let them watch the game they're paying your bar to watch!! Luckily I know the head of the alumni association for my school and will definitely be saying something about this ass hole bar. But if you are an alumni association looking for a fun bar to get people together at, DO NOT PAY THESE IDIOTS!!!! It is a huge waste of time, and you will have complaints!!! I'm never one to post reviews, nor am I someone to get confrontational about things, but these people and this bar are ass holes and should be put out of business!!
