The Donovan Bar — Restaurant in London

Through friends, I discovered The Donovan, a delightful cocktail bar that has consistently provided me with fantastic experiences. Each time I have visited, I have been greeted with warm hospitality, top-notch service, and exquisite cocktails, ensuring that both my guests and I have had a wonderful time. On previous visits, I had already been impressed by a particular staff member, whose role I am unsure of, but whose dedication and professionalism stood out. However, during my recent visit, Jaly, another exceptional member of The Donovan team, managed to raise the bar even higher.

Jaly's gentle presence and attentiveness were immediately noticeable. Her genuine smile and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and at ease from the moment we arrived. Jaly's knowledge of the extensive cocktail menu was remarkable, and she took the time to understand our preferences, offering personalized recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes.

Throughout the evening, Jaly's dedication to providing an outstanding experience shone through. She ensured that every aspect of our visit was carefully tended to, from the impeccably crafted cocktails to the attentive service. Jaly's attention to detail was evident in the way she consistently checked on us, making sure we had everything we needed to fully enjoy our time at The Donovan.

It is rare to find a staff member who not only excels in their role but also possesses the innate ability to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Jaly's presence elevated our experience at The Donovan, setting a new standard for exceptional service. Her genuine kindness and dedication to her work left a lasting impression on us and undoubtedly on everyone who had the pleasure of being served by her.

I extend my heartfelt compliments and gratitude to The Donovan for consistently providing a fantastic cocktail bar experience, and to Jaly for her outstanding service and for making our evening truly unforgettable. I also want to acknowledge the other remarkable staff member I encountered on previous visits, whose role I am unsure of, but whose commitment to excellence was equally noteworthy.

What a place. Decor is stunning but the most amazing thing is the staff and Host, the lady is a pleasure to speak to and it is refreshing as a lot of high end bars are a little pretentious and snobby which can be fine but takes away from customer experience a bit. You can also see the staff really care about what they do as the gent making the cocktails spoke us through the recipe and the list and really elevated our whole experience.

As for the drinks, well honestly I think they may be the best cocktails in London. There isn't a lot I can say and just need to encourage you to try it. But if it is any help, he put on down called 'three wishes' and it tasted so good that as soon as I took a sip I ordered another right away. For those curious it tastes like a port or dessert wine, but wow it was good.

I think a lot of places in London are either overrated or go off their reputation, but Donovan's really is the real deal and one of the few places I visit now. I could honestly spend all day in there.

Oh and for those looking to impress a date, it is a little of the beaten track tucked away, so they will like your insider knowledge, plus as alluded to previous the decor is classy, intimate and tasteful, perfect for such...
