Donovan's in California reviews

*mattvivslivesou* ^(Premo) · 04-28-2009, 09:55 AM

Since we have had a few posts asking about “what is the best bar…..” why don’t we start a post about the individual bars and describe what they are all about.

This Bar we are going to speak of is:
Donovan's in California

Here are a few questions to get the ball rolling:

How often do you go?

How is the entertainment? DJ, Live Music?

What is the average crowd like?
What about their Age?

How are their drinks?

Why is this place better than the others?
Is there anything you don’t like about this club?

Donovan's sucks. Their only redeeming quality is that they (at least used to) have Smithwick on tap. Other than that, there's no compelling reason for me to go there. It's a younger crowd, amateur alcoholics, conflicts break out, no fun.

Yes, because they can drink and maintain instead of turning into blithering idiots.

Have not been there since it changed from Northridge and I honestly have not heard one good thing about it.

The place is a total dump.
