Original Mike’s features 3 spectacular bars, 3 separate Live Entertainment stages & 3 dance floors. Dining Out Magazine voted Original Mike’s its No. 1 rated bar & restaurant in Orange County for 2006 & 2007.

Throughout the main dining room are rare vintage photos of the downtown Santa Ana area. Bricks from the adjacent building, dating back to the 1920’s were recycled to create the huge outdoor patio, Palm Court Oasis. Explore our spacious banquet rooms and enjoy the unique one of a kind atmosphere at Original Mike’s. Owner Mike Harrah has passion for great food, classic cars, and restoring downtown Santa Ana. You will experience his magical talent and unique vision each time you visit this eclectic restaurant & night spot.
