Bigoted, trashy bar – This bar has rude, bigoted bouncers that discriminate patrons based on sexual orientation. Google "nick adams turtle bay" to read about it. The place is totally trashy, so I don't know why any respecting New Yorker would go here in the first place.

just stay clear – I really usually don't write reviews, I've written reviews about one other bar but I felt it necessary to come tell everyone NOT TO COME HERE! First off, getting in is ridiculous. The place isn't even packed but there is a line. Once inside the bartenders would not pay attention to me or anyone standing around me. The whole crowd of people by my side of the bar was getting extremely frustrated. The manager made a pass at me in the grimiest way possible, my friends who came an hour after me waited on line fo... read more

Thieves!! DO NOT GO HERE!! – Gave $20 at the door then immediately found out my friend already paid for me and immediately asked for my money back and the lowlife who took my money started screaming at me telling me and my friend that my friend didn't pay for me. Total lowlife dirt bag. Anyway I went in for about five minutes. Way overcrowded with old, crappy, overplayed music blaring. Put this place in Hoboken and it will still be awful.

Awful clientele, rude management – I went with a friend who had a half-off happy hour deal, and the drinks were still neither good nor cheap. The manager taking food orders behind the bar came on to me. When he saw I had a boyfriend, he had his bouncer come tell my guy to either take off his hat or leave. This is after two hours of nobody having a problem with us, and other people were obviously wearing hats. It's not exactly Tavern on the Green, after all. The guys in the bar were the creepy, pink polo with popped collar cr... read more

Jaw-droppingly aweful – Went with some friends to Turtle Bay for the first time on a Thursday night. We?d heard they had good bartenders and wanted to check it out. While the bartenders were nice enough, they could in no way make up for the rest. On our way upstairs we were offered a $30 open bar and before we could answer the check-in girls starting a screaming conversation to the people behind us that went like this: ?She?s here! No way! Ohmygod! No she?s not! She is! No!? ?all while blocking the entire stairwell. It took ... read more

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 taking care of 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... read more

Mediocre bar, AVOID ON NEW YEAR'S – I've been to Turtle Bay a few times and it's nothing special. Unpretentious, just your typical post-college meathead bar. However, I just spent the worst New Year's Eve of my life at this place. The crowd was the usual suspects, but for $125 I expected some class from the establishment (at least for one night). Open bar of top shelf liquor for them meant taking empty bottles of expensive liquor and filling it up with dollar store brands to trick everyone. Even with the cheap liquor, the ba... read more

Great Customer Service & Hot Bartenders – I'm writing this review b/c I had the best time last Friday at my 23rd brithday at Turtle Bay. The service was great, fast drinks no hassles for anyone in my group, just one big PARTY. The DJ was sick, I highly recommend this place, not to forget the hot bartenders. I'll definitely be back soon!
