Turn 12 Bar and Grill waved the green flag on October 1, 2013. The modern and sporty decor surround a spectacular 50 foot custom zinc bar top with tire tread inlay. Vintage motorcycles, historic racing artwork, and multiple televisions capture your attention upon entering. With a menu that serves a little of everything, from steaks and pasta, to pizza, burgers and salads Turn 12 is a casual American Bar and Grill with something for everyone.


The name Turn 12 is related to the famous Laguna Seca Raceway that has 11 turns and meant to invite guests to visit us at the corner of Tyler and Franklin as the last turn of the day.

    We came here tonight because we wanted to have dinner and watch the Warriors game. We got the booth at the end and ordered our food and then we were told that since a bunch of the TVs are hooked together, they couldn’t change it from the college football game that somebody else asks to see before we did. Our server moved us to the back room, which was very sweet, but the TV was way too small to be able to see.. The food and service were all excellent . It would be great if they could figure out a way to separate the TVs so that guests could choose to change the channel and not be controlled by one set of guests.

    Our server Barry was skilled and completely in tune with his customers. He was handling the Concourse room by himself. The bar service was attentive, with great mixologist on duty.

    This is a favorite of ours and we go often. We had family in town and they love this place. Everyone had something different and every one said their dinner was wonderful.

    It was a very busy lunchtime, and there was only one server in our area. She did the best she could, but service wasn't as good as usual.

    Got the special. Panko fried red snapper over homemade lobster ravioli with a luscious sauce on top. Yummy.
