Message & Request Pricing

I had a girl, Donna was her name...

This chic cocktail club is self-described as an "elegant place for dirty kids." If Donna was a super hero, her daytime persona would be Darla - the coffee-drinking professional with a creative job and by night, a disco queen with whiskey for blood and stars in her eyes. Double down at the Donna and do right by your next dance-the-night-away.

Venue Setting

DONNA is an elegant space for dirty kids; a Williamsburg cocktail bar that takes pride in our loyal local customers and thoughtfully crafted libations. Fully recovered from an electrical fire that left our friends’ highballs empty for half a year, we’re re-opening the doors at Donna with a myriad of new, clever and delicious cocktails, tasty tacos by Jesse Kramer’s Brooklyn Taco, and the same light & airy central American inspired ambiance by hOmE, that has drawn people to Donna since it opened in 2012.

Inside Scoop

Donna Cocktail Club's cocktail menu is as inspired by music as it is by Central American flavors. Guest DJs often light up the night with an eclectic set of tunes. The ringleaders of Donna have music side projects ands their love of good rhythm permeates the venue. Donna Cocktail Club is also opened in the daytime, serving deliciously smooth coffee.

Venue Features

The scene:: Walking distance away from Williamsburg Bridge views, Donna Cocktail Club brings Central American flare to Williamsburg. Donna provides patrons with serious cocktails without serious attitude. Jeremy Oertel and his bartending super-team offer a welcoming vibe while you sit at the bar. A mainstay and favorite of the bar are the cocktails on tap, including the refreshing Brancolada. The high-vaulted ceilings, long bar, high tables and many seated areas together offer a great opportunity to host an intimate event in a setting that will not overwhelm.
Design:: The venue was designed by the Brooklyn design duo, Evan and Oliver Haslegraves of hOmE. The high-vaulted ceilings and many windows foster the open, spacious vibe of Donna's interior. By day, excellent outside light pours through the windows, by night the warm wooden tones offer a beautiful glow against the white-washed walls.
Standout venue features:: Donna has partnered with Cafe Integral to offer a full menu of coffee drinks during the day. Aside from the assortment of draft cocktails, Donna also offers custom made punch bowls for large groups that provide approximately 50 servings. Please request 24-hours in advance.
