OMG....we literally just got a pizza from Donovan's and it is probably the best pizza I've ever eaten. I'm from Chicago and moved to Wisconsin 13 years ago, only to bemoan the fact that nobody makes good pizza in these parts. I am glad to have found this awesome gem of a place! Perfect crust, perfectly seasoned with perfect proportions of ingredients! Very reasonably priced too!

This was a great disappointment. First there was no wait staff. Had to order at the bar and it took ammost an hour to get our pizza. We ordered it to go because it was very loud and we could not even talk to each other. ( But it is a bar). I ordered pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and half with bacon. When I got it home very little sausage, (one piece of sausage per square of pizza) 2 tiny slices of mushrooms on the entire pizza, and no bacon to be found. Very disappointing. I will not be going back.

Love this place! Foods great and the crowds are nice. Pool is only a quarter a game every day and they have an indoors smoking room.

Warning : DIVE BAR! I think most can agree how much fun you have at a bar has more to do with the crowd you bring than the environment. The bar tender is the nicest girl I've met, ample parking, wonderful patio for those summer nights, good bar food (i.e pizza, mozza sticks...) pool and jukebox & clean bathrooms... don't let the locals scare you. :)

Great Food! The place is great for having a few with your crew and getting some eats. The bartenders are great too! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Twin Lakes area. Pool Tables and a rocking jukebox. A good time for all.

Would have left a better review but got very unprofessional customer service. Very rude as well. Will not come back.

One of the best bar's in TWIN LAKES ,been coming up to DONOVAN'S for a good while now. Coming from the southside of CHICAGO where the bars here around me are really no good anymore, to many fights over nothing, gang bangers and Mexicans taking over the bars. juke box were filled with good rock music now more than half is Mexican music. some of the older Mexicans are ok but the rest are not. don't try to play a game of pool with a friend it won't happed the take of the table to.

Friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. Fair pricing and good pizza! Heather might be most well read person, let alone bartender, I've ever met.

Checked into the motel behind the bar on a Saturday night after a long drive to southern WI to visit family. Discovered a really clean, tidy, and surprisingly quiet motel with the best bed ever. The hotel is only a couple of years old, after being totally rebuilt after a fire. I still don't know how they put that much sound-proofing in, but the room was quiet all night long, even though I went to bed long before the the bar closed. Nice to see a reasonable hotel option in Twin Lakes.The bar is definitely a classic 80's locals bar, with cold beer, sports tables, and old rock on the playlist. The burgers are big and charcoaled, the bartender is friendly and helpful - what else could you want? Well, maybe a few items without deep-fried on the menu, but that was the only thing missing.
