Tiki Bars near Santa Ana, CA

“Lovely staff and tasty drinks!“

“This tiki bar restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a whimsical world reminiscent of a shipwreck, evoking a fun and nostalgic vibe reminiscent of SpongeBob. The decor alone is worth the visit! But it doesn't stop there – the food is absolutely amazing, with flavors that tantalize the taste buds. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the cleanliness of the place adds to the overall positive experience. It can be challenging to secure a reservation, but when I finally managed to snag one during the week, it was well worth the effort. My experience here was nothing short of wonderful, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining adventure!“

“Living in the boonies of San Diego Co has benefits…(no traffic jams)…but few awesome perks…(like Tiki bars!!) Luckily the gods aligned, in Orange Co, and our last stop was the Stowaway. Intriguing, dark-painted, one small door marked the front of a strip-mall establishment… hmmm…sorta scary…but not really!! But there were two of us, and we had researched this place…so… The doorman looked at us, said a few things and unlocked a chain. We walked through curtains into the darkest bar I had ever been in, and shuffled toward the green lit bar…which turned red, then blue. The girl bartender handed us a card which we couldn’t read…it was really dark inside. From the shadows, up walked a bearded guy wearing a black shirt with hibiscus’s, smiled, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m “WILL”…can I explain anything to you? We had lots of questions…about drinks, Tiki ceramics, glassware, appetizers…and WILL cheerfully explained everything…He was fun, cheery, smart, and So Nice!! He brought us amazing drinks (a Tropical Margarita, a Cococano and totally fun ceramic sculptures from which to drink…an Angler Zombie Fish with a light, and Carved Volcano mug that had a flame show-by WILL, included!! Awesome!!) Totally wonderful décor…lights, bamboo furniture, comfy stools, the Skull Cave and waterfall, starry night ceiling, cool pool tables with lotsa room around them…everything thought through perfectly!!! We are definitely going back…VERY soon!!!! Thanks so much for everything, WILL!!“

“We had heard so many great things about this place so we wanted to try it out. We heard it gets busy so we got there right as they opened at 11:30am (check the app). It is located in the Disneyland Hotel area, which you can reach by walking all the way to the back of Downtown Disney area. We went out front and got our name on the walk up wait list in person right before they opened, but you can do it on the app once they open. We only had to wait about 10 minutes or so to be seated. We were brought to the bar inside (you do have to be 21 to sit at the bar itself). To get the full experience I highly recommend you request to sit inside and sit at the bar. It was absolutely the way to go here with the theming and overall experience. We ordered the Mojito, the Tiki rum, the volcano, and the tequila one for drinks. All were good but the volcano and the tiki rum were the best. When certain drinks are ordered anywhere in the restaurant the staff put on crazy effects in the restaurant and its funny to be a part of. You do have to buy into the craziness though to have a good time. For food we ordered the long greens (fried green beans) and the Ramen. The Ramen was amazing and super flavorful and definitely enough to share, just ask for another bowl. Also remember this is an “enchanted” tiki bar so keep an eye out for some interesting “enchanted” things to happen around, especially at the bar. It was so funny. Overall, you are going to pay Disney prices for food and drink here (as well as paying for the atmosphere) so be aware of that up front so you don’t get sticker shock when you get your bill. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and would definitely bring anyone else coming with us next time to this bar.“
