Turbo Haüs

Such a welcoming and fun environment to jam, karaoke, or catch a live show. It’s my new fav spot.

Great shows, fantastic cocktails, decent selection of tasty mocktails for the sober folks, and awesome decor. Dog friendly, free tampons, and super affordable drinks. Owner has a pretty sick moustache. Also you can bring outside food in.

Turbohaus is the last of affordable, fun venue and bar spaces in the city that is managed and run by people who care about other people. It’s spacious without feeling creepy and empty and cozy without (usually) feeling cramped. My only complaint is it’s not my neighborhood bar so I can’t go more often. If you’re visiting and need a cool spot to explore, this is it. If you live here and you gave it a one star review because you disagree with someone’s politics, you should go anywhere else.

Great vibes, great venue. Service is always solid, venue is always a great place to play or see shows. They do incredible things for the community, Sergio is probably one of the best dudes around and has build a beautiful and integral part of the local scene. We need more places like Turbo, and more people like Sergio and the Turbo crew, screw anyone who says otherwise

Some of the most fun and best cocktails I’ve ever had. Love this place. There’s always fun shows and the karaoke is a blast. Everyone who works there is so nice and friendly. I always tell everyone to go here.

The heart of nightlife in my area. It's a punk bar, but they host all kinds of shows, run a cafe next door, and have started screening indie films when they can! The owner will even host dinners for artists and other folks without family during the holidays. Vote for Sergio 🤘🏼

great vibes, great bartenders, good prices! perfect for either seeing live music or just having a drink with friends. easily the best bar in the area!

I went there with friends and the doorman was so nice, I shook his hand and he thanked us for being so respectful, the staff was great in general, we left generous tips to bartenders for being so professional and the cocktails were absolutely delicious, even the alcohol-free drinks were incredible. My favourite bar, we had a blast at the thursday night karaoke and we plan on coming back even just for quiet drink or dates. Thank you Turbo Haus!

Normal drinks not too fancy. The real draw is the Wednesday night hip-hop & RnB jam that packs the house. It was incredibly cool to see (I'm from Nebraska lol) the jam is very well organized. Very cool young positive atmosphere. Highly recommend if you are a musician

Excellent staff, excellent cocktails and good wine list. When you go, ask Kato for a picklebackorade. It's their signature shot; Whisky, followed by pickle juice and finish it off with Powerade. You'll thank me later.

I have been super skeptical about hitting up bars since this COVID business started, but my visit to Turbo showed how hard these venues are working to keep going through all of this. Terrace seating was spaced, there's a guest log book so they can notify people if a cluster is linked to the bar, the menu is available on every table via QR code and the staff were patient and polite with me when I used the wrong in/out doors. Also, tampons in the bathroom stalls? I applaud you. We were served by Victoria who was bubbly and witty, the kind of server who popped in long enough to make jokes but doesn't linger. Drinks were competitively priced for the area, and a peep inside had me reminiscing to my last show before the world came to a halt. I have heard some limited short surprise shows are going to be a thing potentially so would suggest giving them a follow on the 'gram for an insider scoop not to miss out! At the moment I went they also had a partnership with a pop up restaurant for some snacks snacks. A+

If you want cheap beer and sangria, look no further. Just be warned you get what you pay for though. The beer had something of an acidic taste that was... acceptable for a 11pm last effort to get beer. They don't have snacks or anything either, at least when I went. It's open despite COVID right up until midnight with a large terrace right on the street. Its a nice setup at least. Play some arcade games, have some better but more expensive beers and cocktails, then when you're done, you could come here in a few steps to polish the night off for cheap. Convenient!

My journey with Turbo Haüs is a complicated one; brace yourself. When they originally opened in St Henri my partner and I were delighted: a cool, unpretentious, affordable and punk-friendly spot was now a couple blocks away from us and it didn't involve a lot of the BS you find at Fattal. We even became members. Unfortunately that impression wouldn't last long. After going to many shows at TH I started having the recurring problem of being pushed out of mosh pits. For being a girl. Not a problem I generally have. One night, at a particularly silly pop punk show, some guys kicked me out of the pit and told me flat out "no girls in the pit.". I told them where to go and then decided, since this is a recurring problem, to go talk to the owner/manager at the bar. He abruptly told me it wasn't his effin' problem. We decided to stop going. Fast forward a couple years later and TH is at a new and shinier location in the Quartier Latin. My friends who live in the area started raving about how much fun they were having there. Additionally they reassured me that the new female management had turned things around: example: tampons in the bathrooms and friendly ladies slinging beers. I decided to give it another try and really enjoyed hanging out in the bar space: the prices were excellent, the staff were nice and atmosphere was a perfect balance of hip and chill. Needless to say, I was still hesitant about attending any shows. Last night I finally gave it a stab. As luck would have it, some jerk projectiled me out of the pit early in the evening; I watched him and three other dudes do the same to any other woman that came even close to the front. I can't believe it's 2019 and I still have to complain about places like this. At one point I overheard another woman shout, "what is this, 1999?!". Listen, Turbo Haüs, I get it- you want to make this place feel like a house show with little rules and no security. The thing is, you're a real business with an obligation to not having your patrons feel like garbage because of their gender, ability, orientation, race, etc. If this was a house show we could just kick guys like that out ourselves; this is a real business and that's on you. We need you to step up to the plate and make sure jerks like those ones stop ruining it for everyone else. Maybe it's time to get a door thug. Final gripe: I've never been impressed with a venue that allows the places to be filled with promoters flashing cameras in everyone's face. They do affect a show and they are annoying. Try and exercise some caution with how many Grimey reps you let in your show.

Great bar with a cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Probably the most reasonably priced drinks in the area!
