TURKUAZ Wine House & Bar is a small Mediterranean wine bar on Bolton Road in central Eastbourne, a short walk from the seafront and the town centre shops. It focuses on wine by the glass alongside Turkish-influenced small plates, and diners eat and drink while music plays rather than standing at a stage. The room is intimate and tables fill quickly on music nights, so booking ahead is advised. It hosts the Open Sessions Live music night on the first and third Wednesday of each month.
