Donna

Review specifically for the bar!We stumbled upon this place one night while killing time before dinner, and we quickly realized we found "our spot." As soon as we set foot inside, we were greeted by the bartender/bev director Christian, who makes great drinks and conversation! The cocktail menu is unique and so yummy. The strawberry cheesecake cocktail is NOT TO MISS!!A couple weeks later, we went back and were treated with the same great vibes as the first time! And this time, we even met the bar owner Lauren and her husband, who were also super warm and great to talk to. I can't sing the praises of this place enough!

Excellent cocktail spot with tropical vibes. Came in around 7pm on a Friday and it was loud and dark but we had a great corner spot. Chips were also good. It has some unique pieces and yes it's downtown so it's expensive. Can enjoy lots of places and tastes for less price. In fact maybe a little more ambiance for the price.

Donna is a Pan-Latin restaurant that unfortunately doesn't do Latin food any justice. The drinks were good, but the food fell flat. On top of that, the waitress was a bit rude and off. Fwiw, for the food my friend and I got the chips and guac (which tasted like something you could find at a supermarket) and the empanadas (which were really dry). Also, there is virtually no room to move around, and the tables are cramped together. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Not the best experience, but maybe will have to try another night. Had a reservation but the table wasn't ready-- no prob we'll stand. Server let's us know its Emo Night so the normal menu isn't available, okay this kinda sucks, we came for a few specific drinks. Server lets us know there are some of the drinks form the main menu they can still make if they aren't too complicated, I ask about one and she says its a go. I get it, and it just tastes super sweet and weird and the glass us completely wet and sticky. My friend gets just a beer and we decide not to order anymore and dip. Prob would have left after we heard the drinks thing, but we didn't want to get charged for not showing up to the reservation. The music and vibe were alright, but there was also someone getting a tattoo in the bar, and the staff were taking lots of pictures with flash at the bar which idk I get its for promo but it just felt a little distracting/odd/superficial? I don't hate it, but I signed up for a totalllllly different experience and had no way to know I'd get this. I was with some friends visiting from out of town who I'd wanted a slightly quieter atmosphere to catch up with, but what can you do.

Went with my partner after reading about the place was worker-owned and delighted by the food, drinks, and service. Went a second time alone, during Happy Hour and tho the bartender was en pointe, the vibe was too casual in the rest of the place, with an employee, associate or friend taking photos with a traditional camera flash going off which was pretty distracting.

Popped by Donna while waiting for a reservation nearby. It was happy hour time so the place was jumping. Only 1 bar tender, and they were slinging. Props to them.I loved the interior. Inventive, modern, and chic all come to mind. Plus, as an added bonus: happy hour deals were pretty solid given New York's prices. I got a machete. It was definitely a strong agave drink. Slighlty margarita-esque but it had a blood orange vermouth float as opposed to orange curaçao. The float made it look bloody so that is where the name machete comes from I assume. It did not have the balance I was wanting, but still a decent drink. The happy hour menu seemed really solid. Great deals on bites and sips. I loved the ambience and would love to go back. It's just a 3 star right now for me purely for the drink. It just was not quite balanced. But once again, I did only get the one drink and the menu had some incredibly compelling alternatives. The vibes are perfect for a first date, or a 100th date. I love the interior. A nice contrast from the uber dimly lit lounges that seem to be ubiquitous.

What a great menu! Small but mighty with flavors!Aesthetically beautiful. What a great spot to enjoy in the west village.

The great cocktails and the food at Donna are awesome! But even better is the great vibe the people that works here brings ! Everyone is so nice and fun !I love this place is a must go !!!

Great little spot for post-dinner cocktails in the West Village. I really liked that they had a few non-alcoholic mocktail options. It was a lil pricey but I think that's to be expected for the area. The drinks were tasty though and the service was excellent. Would be a great spot for a date night!

I never leave reviews but I had the best experience here on my birthday! My friends and I showed and they immediately accommodated all six of us by putting two tables together. Then, when the drink I wanted had an almond liqueur in it and I told them I had a nut allergy, they were kind and made it without that ingredient. Then to top it off, they brought all six of us a round of shots with a candle for my birthday!! It's also co-op owned which is so cool. We all loved it and will be coming back. I couldn't find the manager to thank her when we left but thank you!!
