as soon as you pull that door open a stench of stale cigarettes smelll hits you. the smokers have all but some small  non smoking section to smoke and smoke and smoke. sit at the bar? smokers to the left smokers to the right the bartender smoking. you'd have to bulldoze that place to the ground to get rid of that smoke which has permeated everything.  I TRIED to order a meatball sub but they ran out on a Monday afternoon. And i didn't exactly feel welcomed.
Review Source:I wish Yelp had an "Incomplete" ratiing. Â This past weekend was dull and cold in Reston/Herndon, so I figured it would be a great weekend to seek out other places in the area that offer Buzztime Trivia. Â Ashburn Pub on Saturday night was a strike. Â Mighty Mike's was a miss. Â I emailed them about 2 weeks ago and asked about their set up - do they have a full stocked bar with a non smoking section that has Buzztime Trivia? Â Never got a response - why have an email address on your website if no one monitors it? Â Fast Eddie's has a smoking and non smoking bar, and offer Buzztime at both bars. Â
So I visited Mighty Mike's over the weekend and was blown away by the cigarette smoke. Â How did this place get a pass for smoking when nearly every other place in the area did not? Â (And places like Fast Eddie's and Rampart's in Alexandria have totally separate bars, with separate ventilation systems, for smokers and non smokers.) Â Since so few places in the Northern VA area offer Buzztime trivia, it seems like an absolute waste to have Buzztime at a smoking bar. Â I stayed for one beer and left, and went back to Ned Devine's in Herndon.
Stuck at the airport Marriott Dulles for 4 days with the road crew for Aerosmith. Yelped for a good bar, and found Mighty Mikes. Spent 3 nights in a row there. Good food, good darts, good juke box, great staff! Larry the mgr. and Amanda our server were fantastic! This is the bar I look for in every city, and rarely ever find.
Viva La Mighty Mikes!
This is your typical dive bar. Â Considering you need to pay to wash your clothes afterwards because of the smoke, the food and drinks weren't the best deals. It's decently priced but considering what it is (hole in the wall) Â I think the prices could've been a little better and beer deals a little more attractive. But overall the food was good and in line with other dive bars.
Seems like it is a regulars type of bar. Where the regulars show up daily, and end up getting discounts that the non-regulars end up paying for in the long run. Seems like a typical college bar but there is no college in site.
As a nonsmoker, the worst thing about Mighty Mikes is that it's mainly a smoking bar with a nonsmoking section. Coming from a family of smokers, I am mostly used to it, but at the end of the night you will smell terrible.
However, once you get past that, I can't find anything else to complain about. It's a down to earth bar, with an eclectic set of regulars, and an interesting muddle of different types of people, mostly who are just there to relax and have a good time.
Foodwise, for a bar it has one of the most varied menus I have ever seen, and most of it is delicious. You have your ordinary bar staples, the fried foods, but past that is a huge selection of burgers, and dinner entrees. Grilled chicken breast, with several option to style, steak, meatloaf, tortellini, spaghetti. Â They also have all-you-can-eat crab and shrimp twice a week, and a specials section that changes often. Everything on the menu has a humorous name, so you have to be sure to read the menu, and get a kick out of some of them.
Most of the staff are friendly and approachable, and are usually quick to make rounds and get whatever it is you are looking for. Half the time you can find the owners in there as well, and are also approachable and friendly.
Most people would say that it's a redneck bar, and from all appearances I wouldn't disagree. But I also don't have a problem with that. And the owners are now working on updating the interior and improving how the bar looks. But I would suggest anyone to at least give it a chance, I think you will be surprised.
