Donovan's Pub

Solana Torres★★

My sister and I went this Friday night, and were promptly seated. We ordered two burgers and I got a cosmo. We waited for so long for our water and eventually the cosmo, which ended up tasting like a lukewarm splash of vodka, a splash of cranberry and water. When I finally got the servers attention, and told her it didn’t taste right, she argued with me that it’s “all alcohol” and that she has cosmos all the time. I guess that’s what I get for ordering a cosmo at an Irish pub, I just expected more since they had a long cocktail menu. I work in the industry myself and I get not being happy to w

I visited this restaurant on Saturday with a group of friends and my 9 month old baby, and we had a great experience. The food and service were both excellent. I ordered the Devine Bovine Burger, and my wife had a donovan's famous burger, both were delicious, and the meat was outstanding. One of my friends ordered the chicken marsala and other of them the New York steak, and they both said their dishes were delicious. We also had some drinks, and the service from our waitress was exceptional. very attentive and friendly throughout the entire visit. We will definitely be coming back. Highly rec

Ranked best burger in queens so I wanted to see what the hype was about. It was definitely a solid burger but I fear the chatter about them losing the it factor may be true. It wasn't the BEST burger l've had but definitely up there. The mozzarella sticks were yummy. The pretzel was also pretty special (if it were the thing I was eating at a baseball game). Service was friendly and attentive despite it being decently busy. There’s ample seating in both a dining room and bar area. It’s not too noisy on the weekday we went. They do show sports on the TVs if that’s what you’re into!
