“ This place rocks. Had a fun night playing darts, drinking cocktails, and hanging out. Kind of the perfect locals bar. Service was prompt and friendly. The people were a good mix - young/old, hipster/preppy - and overall just a good vibe. ”
“ Didn’t get no pics or videos but this place was packed and super low key! Loved it here and had fun talking to the locals ”
“ Great little hole-in-the-wall place. The bartenders are all female and friendly and attractive. Not bimbos, just nice, genuine people. Some tap beers, mostly bottled beers, full cocktail bar also. They have pool tables, I think dart boards, too. They have one of those digital streaming jukeboxes you can play with a very good selection of music. ”
“ Great service and great bartenders. If you know what I mean. Apart from that they were honestly really great. Overall team work really added to the service. Free popcorn. I racked up a 300 dollar bill, got really drunk. I don't remember closing my tab but somehow had my card at the end of the night. I DIDN'T tip. I feel like complete sh--. I always tip, I know what leaving a lasting tip means for return customers. I used to live in Vegas pre pandemic. And always make sure I tip well to be remembered and treated honestly and great. I don't think I can ever show my face here again. I hate myself for it. ”
“ Donna's Cocktails is a great bar, on the small to mid-size, with a pool table and several dart boards. There's a decent number of tables for seating without making it feel to crowded. The crowd on Tuesday was lively and friendly. The bartenders were on top of things and it was a good place to have a few drinks. For anyone who likes to sing karaoke, Donna's will have a KJ running shows on Tuesday nights beginning September 12th and I'm looking forward to tacos and another good night there! Update: 11/12/23 I went on an off night tonight (no karaoke) and it was really nice. Had some beers talked to some patrons, shot some pool, and the bartenders and waitstaff represented the quality of the establishment to their best. ”
“ Donna's is a dive bar. I love coming to this place because it's walking distance from my house. This place gets pretty crowded after 10pm from Thursday - Saturday. Bartender and staff is very fun and friendly. Price is very reasonable too. Drinks is good. They recently added food!!!!! Finger food such as wings, fries, mozzarella sticks ect. I love to munch when I drink so I was so happy they finally made this happen. They have darts, pool table, and a video game machine by the bar seats. My friends and I love coming here. ”
