Donnie's Place could quite possibly be the smallest bar in the Burgh. But once you're inside it sure doesn't feel small. What a nice hometown dive bar. The sign above the door reads, "Enter as strangers. Leave as friends". How true.
I sat down, got a beer and not more than five minutes later I'm talking to the guy next to me (who I've never met) about Jeeps, quads, grand kids, concrete work, etc. The bartender Missy was attentive and very pleasant.
I noticed a list of specials on an illuminated board: Monday they do chicken wraps, Wednesday's item is .75 cent tacos and for Friday they boast the "Best fish in town". There's also an everyday menu consisting of mostly bar food and in-house soups.
My visit, being a Wednesday, I ordered a half dozen tacos. They were a little on the skimpy side but for 75 cents, they were tasty on the cheep. There's a full bar but the beer selection is pretty much limited to domestics (beer snobs beware).
Smoking is permitted so if that's a problem for you, you might want to pass. But if you can handle a little smoke, Donnie's is a great place to stop in for a bargain beer and bite. You just might leave as a friend. read more
