best Bar in the whole Panama Beach, great atmosphere and an amazing service by the Bartenders shoot out to Rebekah for her great actitud and great customer service. if you go to Panama Beach you must go visit Donovan’s if not you missed the best night.

Amazing bar we usually go with friends at night to hang out at this place and it’s always a fun time. They have a beach section with a bar on the beach and there’s always a place to get drinks easily. We only had the food one time and it was good it’s pretty much just regular bar food. The drinks there are always made great and the prices are decent we always get the rum bucket when we go and its always made great. For the time we go there is usually a $10 cover fee to get in. Parking can be somewhat difficult as they don’t have the biggest parking lot but there are paid parking lots within walking distance so it’s never too much of an issue. I’d definitely recommend this place!
Update
Still agree with my review from about 2 years ago service is still great and food hasn’t changed definitely recommend this place

Really nice beach bar!!! Great atmosphere and good music, they even have a DJ on the weekends. This place is cash only which is always a pain. I feel like every time I ordered a new drink the price was different. Place gets extremely crowded so make sure to get there early, you can bring your own beach chair though! Also parking is very limited so I would recommend getting dropped off.

Love the atmosphere and views great music too
Now what I don’t like
1. Doesn’t have enough parking
2. Cash only who carries cash these days
3. No drink menu when asked bartender for a drink menu they said have you never been to a bar ? Young and immature person
4. Long lines to get bar food waited 30 min to get a sandwich
Overall a great place just bring cash and don’t ask for a drink menu cause they don’t have it

We just had our wedding at Donovan’s Reef. Saying it was PERFECT is an understatement. Christine and Mike (owners) were incredible during the entire process. They were communicative, easy, and knew what they were doing. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly during the whole thing, even with our crazy group of people. They made us feel at home and made our special day happen without breaking the bank. Using food and drink “tickets” made it so our guests could get what they want without hassle. Incredibly affordable and an absolute gorgeous location.
Even if you aren’t doing a wedding, the food, atmosphere and beauty is top notch.
We live in Colorado, but will be back visiting the shore and 10000000% plan on going back to Donovan’s.
Thank you Christine and Mike for your incredible establishment and hospitality.

Always a great time at Donovans! The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. They keep everything very clean. It’s a nice crowd that goes, not ghetto or rowdy. $20 entrance fee on the weekends but it’s worth it! The food is also amazing. They have an extensive menu. There is something for everyone!

Nice place located beach front. Parking is $15 , Kinda strange to charge for parking if your spending money at their establishment eating and drinking all day. Also this establishment does not allowed you to bring your own beverages such as water. They have three bars, one located on the beach, one on the deck and one inside,Rum buckets $18. Food was great and fast!

Great spot to chill on the beach. Access to full bar, food, and bathrooms. Private parking lot as well. I recommend getting there early to ensure a parking spot and a great spot on the beach. Also DJ and live bands on some days.

What a fantastic place. The location, the atmosphere, the food and drinks. Everything really was spot on. Awesome bartenders and workers. The beach is right there and the ocean is a quick walk away, drink in hand while you touch the water.
