La Santa

La Santa is at 220 E 3rd St in downtown Santa Ana, in Orange County, a drive south of Los Angeles. The venue's own site sums it up as an "Intimate Venue • Bar • Diner," so expect a small room where you can eat and drink as well as watch a show.

Live music fills most of the calendar. The shows on the home page lean toward tribute bands and themed nights, such as a Cure tribute, a Limp Bizkit tribute, a Hallo-Punk Night and a Cumbia Punk Party. Outside promoters also bring DJ and club nights. One of them was billed on its ticket page as happening at La Santa OC, and local listings have called the room La Santa Nightclub. This page covers both spellings, so a show listed under either name will appear here.

Tickets are sold through TicketWeb, and the site has a newsletter signup for presale and on-sale dates. Check the venue's calendar for the current run of shows, since the lineup changes often.

The site doesn't publish a capacity, age policy, doors time, dress code or parking details. Those rules can change from one night to the next, so read the ticket page for the show you are buying. Plan your parking in downtown Santa Ana before you leave, because the venue doesn't say where to park. Other parties use the La Santa name in listings, so confirm the 3rd Street address on your ticket.
