Editorial Review for Turquoise Cafe Bar Europa – by Erin Chambers

In Short
The vibe in this one-room square space filled with small cafe tables is that of a local corner bar in southern Spain. Friends lean in over a glass of wine and plate of olives as if deciding which hostel to meet up at next. Anyone who's backpacked through Europe will feel right at home with the Mediterranean menu of tortilla Espanola, cheese plates and paninis. The only things missing are unfolded maps and Eurorail passes.

Insider Tips

Parking

Officially, street parking is the only option, but many of the adjacent small business lots empty out after work.

The Extras

Various live music acts--mostly jazz or world beats--play nearly every night of the week.

Know Before You Go

Turquoise is in North Pacific Beach, a burgeoning community with a distinctly different vibe than PB's raucous Garnet Ave scene. Tell your friends.

I highly recommend Turquoise Cafe Europa for a fun evening out! They've got great, friendly staff who are always ready to give detailed explanations of their yummy menu items. Their tapas are not only delectible, but they arrive to your table super quick! The ambiance is warm and relaxing, and the nightly entertainment adds a nice jazzy touch of kewlness! We're semi-regulars and every experience has been wonderful! I highly recommend the Turquiose Cafe Europa for good eats, entertainment, and atmosphere! Four plus stars!

Pros: Ambiance & Great Tapas

Cons: No parking

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Editor's Review

European-style neighborhood cafe in North PB offers a low-key hangout with cheap, good wine and simple tapas.  See the full editorial review.
