"There’s this bar next to the Nancy's pickup window called Donovan’s Reef. Donovan is this Jamaican guy who comes up every season, and he’s a town favorite. People wait in line for an hour to get a dirty banana. It’s this banana and chocolate and rum situation that everybody loves."

Great drinks! Donavan is awesome. Great personality. He's the only one making the drinks so sometimes the line can go slow but well worth it. Be sure to grab at least two drinks at once so that you're not back standing in the line so soon. Save yourself the wait.

You come here and visit this man. He will give you a magical beverage and you will love it. Best priced frozen cocktail on the island and the highest quality! He tastes every single drink to make sure they are perfect. The man is a beach frozen cocktail artist. Seriously, you need to try this.

My family and I have been going to see Donavan for a Dirty Banana Mudslide for 10+ years. He makes the best drinks, brings the best vibes, and is one of the highlights of the island every summer!

Donovan was kind of rude. He caught an attitude about an allergy with the blenders and said of course he’d rinse it out before making another drink… You’re supposed to use a clean blender with allergies, Donovan.

One of the hardest workers out there. Always smiling and singing while making some of the best drinks. Thank you Donovan!

If you haven’t had a dirty banana within 1 hour of landing in Oak Bluffs… what are you doing…?

Donavan, the main bartender who seems to ALWAYS be working, is the coolest guy I have ever met. He is always playing reggae music! He makes the best drinks on the entire island and they come out perfect every single time. The kicker is he does it with such ease as if it comes second nature to him. The dirty Banana is the best drink you will ever have. All I want to do when I visit Martha Vineyard is drink Dirty Bananas made by Donavan all day long!
