Dedicated Upstairs Loft for Milestone Gatherings
Donny's provides a dedicated dark-wood upstairs loft mezzanine configured for private functions, milestone celebrations, and bachelorettes with custom food and drinks packages.
The rustic, dark wood loft space was intimate, and the music from the live band created a great backdrop to mingle, chat and enjoy the company and intimate surrounds.
John Miller Turnkey Private Party Coordination
Dedicated event coordination and welcoming floor hosts streamline setup, tailored menus, and drink service for memorable group celebrations.
It was the perfect size for our event, the decor suited our theme perfectly and the musicians for the night (Gabe Parisotto and Ellis Hall) rocked the whole place!
Lyn Greig Daily 2-for-1 Cocktail Happy Hour
The daily 5pm to 7pm happy hour delivers 2-for-1 cocktails alongside generous shared bites and rotating menu specials.
5-7pm 2 for one very yummy cocktails. Great time meeting and dancing with family friends and friends I had not met yet.
