Enters bar, no one responds to him. Probably bummed there are cameras in there filming them day drinking. The one guy thumbs upping has been drunk for the last 40 years and a server who’s used to smiling when she doesn’t feel like smiling. Proceeds to stand at the end of the bar whispering to the camera because he certainly can tell he and his camera are not exactly wanted there. Top notch stuff
Used to live a block from Donovan’s and can confirm the hype is real! Was my go-to bar for all types of occasions. It has everything from NFL Sunday crowd to Sunday dinner crowd. The staff is always friendly - shoutout Christine behind the bar! My favorite burger was always the Woodsider (Bacon)! Baklava spitting the truth as always here!
The look in his eyes at 7:03 choked me up that’s love for food right there ❤ love the video’s as always and much respect and love from The Netherlands !!! 🇳🇱
Man, I've fucked with FTD heavy from the very beginning, and Action longer than that obviously, and in that time, I've had so many beautiful culinary experiences myself, spanning various countries and continents. I'm blessed. But right now, for the past month, I'm going through, hands down, the hardest, most difficult, period of my entire life (right behind when my pops passed), and while I'm watching my first FTD in a while since this all happened, I feel more blessed than usual just to be enjoying it while eating a tuna sub from Subway with harvest cheddar Sun Chips and a Brisk iced tea- this shit is, no joke, slapping more than usual, and doing so while I watch my brother Action live his best life, living vicariously through him, makes it all that much better. I've had my whole life uprooted, my world taken from under me, but I feel alright in this moment and blessed for the past I had, the fact I'm alive and breathing through whatever I'm going through, and hoping for a much better future. I'm in the belly of the suck right now... this is a big fat suck... but I'll come out of it, I know it. This episode reminds me of the good times we have in our own city which we can sometimes take for granted as they're happening... "we were living in a golden era and didn't even know it" type shit. All these simple staple places, and simple casual encounters with strangers... that is life.
I live down the block and love his recurring Woodside props...previous episode had him at Rico Pan bakery and Peking BBQ I think, both a block away. With Little Manilla further down the street, NY's best Thai Food on 39th ave down the street and further down woodside ave and broadway in Elmhurst, and being located centrally between Sunnyside and LIC, Astoria, Elmhurst and Jackson Heights, you really can't beat Woodside for food. Flushing a quick 7 train ride away.
Another boss video my G! I used to drive past Donovan’s all the time when I worked in Queens. Always wanted to stop in and try it, but sadly never did. Now seeing you put this vid out makes me realize I MUST get there this year. Keep up the always dope content Action!! 👑 🔥🤙🏻
Incredible! That interior exploded into some another time and dimension. Who'd a thought that little corner entryway leads to anywhere to something spectacular.
Donovan’s..my lord..the days and nights I had there..the food and vibe are sick..I live in Tampa now but these are one of those places you love..the burger is dope..all their food is dope.. Bronson nailed it with this choice.
@ so you clearly haven’t been watching his videos for the past few years. He’s gained a lot of weight back. Go back to videos from the pandemic and on. Hs but back in 40-60lbs at least.
LOVE to have you in my home town oxford england. Tour of the old places, some older than the USA . Then the new food we have is insane Beautiful yard food, Lebanese, curryhouses. Be a honour to take you around
I like that grading style for art. "Yes your understanding of perspective when drawing nature has the feel of being alone, but not. Is this one a Predator influenced piece?"
i enjoy all the art you make but for some reason this stood out for me. maybe being from oklahoma makes me appreciate quality burgers. the beef from here is like no other in taste and quality. it must be the minerals in the grass and water that sustain the cattle.
some well cooked burgers and flavor combinations, will definitely check it out whenever I’m back home on the east. love me a properly cooked burger with all the right toppings and the bun of course🍔👌🏾salute bro
I know this pub makes phenomenal burgers simply because their Texas burger actually appeals to this Texan lol. So many people up north make their “Texas” themed items barbecue themed but we’re really all about the peppers. Hatch chilis are making their way down here from NM too recently. Hatch chili burgers are amazing, if you’re ever in Ruidoso try one at Anaheim Jacks
Haven’t watched this show in years. Glad to see it’s still going. I miss the old Viceland days. Covid kinda ruined everything. Keep going tho fam. BX to Queens. One love
As a big guy who got in shape then sort of lost it again, I can fully understand what this man is going through. The world is full of too many fun things to eat to live that health kick life forever. I get it
WHAT BURGER ARE YOU ORDERING?!
They say the grass is greener on the other side, but it is always greener in the Highlands!!
Gotta go with the classic cheeseburger
The Jack
The one that makes me hallucinate like Dali
All 4
“Fuck it then I’m not doing it”🤣🤣
can't believe no one even responded. pretty rude of them. could've at least said 'no, thank you"
@@MrMan-fx3ow it's NY,
@@MrMan-fx3owProbably all them Irish wannabes who are really just American
@@MrMan-fx3ow they obviously weren't paying attention and probably had no idea he was talking to them, relax.
No one had a clue who he was ha
Baklava fresh off the rosin dabs, placed into a burger church museum bar...the vibes cant get much better
almost sounds like an Action Bronson bar lmao
Action Bronson would 1000% say that line lmfao
accidental Bronson
😂😂😂😂 great common
Man, the editor absolutely KILLED this video, well done mate, keep up the great work.
YES! When he gets to the final burger, The Jack. That part is golden. But the whole video as you say is special.
Ancient aliens edit ❤
The sound man too
The editors for his shows are always phenomenal!
The editor killed it just like the food 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
my dad works at donovans and has bartended there since he was like 20. action bronson what a legend this is so cool
My man!
Is your dad Chris?
Nobody cares honestly
He should teach Christine how to pour a Guinness - that was awful
I live a block away. Always a pleasure dining and drinking there.
That pub looked unbelievable what a cool setting...
Never been to a irish pub?
Please go youd love it
irish pubs not a thing where you're from?
@@pennywise1682 Nah but Donovans is special.
Burger looks horrible would never eat a raw burger
Action is so baked lmfao. Love it
Enters bar, no one responds to him. Probably bummed there are cameras in there filming them day drinking.

I bet you are fun at party's 👍
7:35 the music stopping with the cut to the burger being assembled in silence + action's narration is so cinematic
One of the weirdest episodes yet. Plays out like an Antonioni flick and I'm here for all of it!
I absolutely love how action speaks the way he does , his choice of words
that eating area is gorgeous, really shows you parts of nyc still has that old new york in em.
That lady giving the tour had this mix of northern ireland and new york accents that was playing games with my head.
Happens to you when you live in the states for while
Action Bronson is one of the coolest dudes around. If I am ever in New York I'll be asking where to find this legend.
I love when he's chewing the camera flashes the painting as he is blissfully taken away 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The best scene
And the slo mo lady nodding in agreement
Those ladies are fantastic. Talk about service and hospitality. 👌
when action takes a bite of something he really loves he always looks angry lol
Lmaooo…shit had no right being that good! Absolutely appalled by the greatness lol. I do the same shit 😂.
He kind of generally always seems angry to me.
A good burger can fix a bad day
Best burger place sign
Werd 2 tha muvva
factoid

Live a mile away from here and can attest that these burgers are as good Action describes. It's the best local neighborhood joint.
The great thing here is his passion for food n getting the content out there. Fair play to him.
@actionbronsonmusic We adore and treasure you, Action. Thank you for highlighting this Woodside gem of a place. This was a joyous episode.
I could watch Action just going grocery shopping or eating burgers....oh wait I'm doing that now.
And the knicks are killing it on the tv screen! Go NY go NY go!
It's the pause/play edit at the end that gets me! Just adds more and more to the praise of the joint, to where its gets comical. 🙌 😂 really funny!

I feel like I could invite Action over to eat at my grandma’s trailer park and he’d be complementing the doilies 😂
Always love the Sunnyside/Woodside shoutout. Donovan's is fantastic and you've reminded me I haven't been in a while.
I used to go to that pub as a kid during St. Patrick’s day with family. Literally nothing has changed with the place except for the tv’s.
Action always gets me when he eats at a hidden gem. Gotta love this man.
Donovan's has been known for having one of the best pub burgers in the city for decades.
9:51 cue the music.. the ambiance is truly breath taking 😄👌✨
I've never seen Action So mesmerized !! He must have tuned in with the energy that's locked in that place !! If only those Oak Walls could talk !! 👽✌
Another boss video my G! I used to drive past Donovan’s all the time when I worked in Queens. Always wanted to stop in and try it, but sadly never did. Now seeing you put this vid out makes me realize I MUST get there this year. Keep up the always dope content Action!! 👑 🔥🤙🏻
Bro I was their ups driver for 30 years , Donovan’s was always my favorite, brings back memories
Went to this pub last year, he was not lying the vibe and food was amazing
7:49 those few moments there "of course we can" LMAO bro this is pure high frequency energy
God I haven't been to Donovan's in about 18 years. Still remember that burger. Happy to see Action is giving love to this legendary Queens joint!
The way action talks about food ... so poetic it's truly art
NY Hall of Science hat is such a inside reference - loved going there as a kid in Queens
He’s like when a noble medieval man is passing through a village, and they clear an entire dining room for him to eat.
Very cool looking Irish ☘️ bar! Food looking amazing too. 🍔 🍟
Had the same reaction at an Irish bar in Long Beach called the Auld Dubliner! Best burger I’ve ever had! And the Sautéed mushrooms were fire..
Bronson is crazy but respectful. Even tho he’s by himself he’s keeping quiet because the room requires that kind of tone.
lmao no one in the bar wanted to do this shit, action bronson is insufferably annoying
Incredible! That interior exploded into some another time and dimension. Who'd a thought that little corner entryway leads to anywhere to something spectacular.
Been going there for 30 years+. Burgers are terrific and fries are excellent too. Great review.
Came here about 3 years ago, the nostalgia in there is heavy! solid spot Bronson
You canNOT deny a great burger 💯💯
Been going here my whole life before every Mets game I’ve been to. Had no clue there were all those rooms. Awesome vid
I like how he always stands when he eats.
Means so much to see action drinking a Shirley temple cuz as a grown man ordering Shirley temples at bars often it’s a bit weird sometime
Donovan’s..my lord..the days and nights I had there..the food and vibe are sick..I live in Tampa now but these are one of those places you love..the burger is dope..all their food is dope..
Bronson nailed it with this choice.
Classic Action in Action this was a phenomenal episode. 😅😅
I used to live right around the corner from there. I only ever ordered to go, and never realized they had a back room, especially so gorgeous looking
My grandma lived very close to that place. My dad always said it was the best pub burger!
Donovan's since day one. Great episode. Bronson's happiest in queens.
Come here after every met gsme love it
Desde Puerto Rico Love you Bronson !!!
Bronson back to his original Majestic eating good shape
That’s not a good thing….
@@SwayzeeSoul he'll probably outlive you without a doubt
@SwayzeeSoul I mean as of lately he's been pretty healthy. He exercises quite a bit and I think eats healthy most of the time
@ so you clearly haven’t been watching his videos for the past few years. He’s gained a lot of weight back. Go back to videos from the pandemic and on. Hs but back in 40-60lbs at least.
@@fredrikmurman9240Fat chance.
Very observant, Bronson. You make me want to visit Donovans.
Loved this episode, one of the oldest burger restaurant,awesome
LOVE to have you in my home town oxford england. Tour of the old places, some older than the USA . Then the new food we have is insane
Beautiful yard food, Lebanese, curryhouses. Be a honour to take you around
Bronson is a man of the people he just gets it.
In my neighborhood again and i missed it 😂 Just keep going up and through Sunnyside. A lot of good spots 🙌🏽
I can't decide which bit is more wholesome ~ Action getting lost in the art, or Action getting lost in the burgers 🤔 😊
I love that Brosolino is able to pivot to anything he wants to do in life, real entrepreneur shit.
Man these types of places are so cozy. Reminds me of Blarney Stone, I would get the shepherds pie. On a rainy day too, holy shit it's like heaven.
Woodside stand up!
Loved this place growing up.
7:00 I just couldn’t stop laughing lol still can’t
Amazing Pub, Great food, Great drinks, Great staff
editor take a bow man, another outstading episode
All of the burgers look fire 🔥 . I got hungry watching 🦋I love these old school places to eat.
That's my hood! Love Donovan's.
I like that grading style for art. "Yes your understanding of perspective when drawing nature has the feel of being alone, but not. Is this one a Predator influenced piece?"
He said let me sit back here away from those weirdos at the bar😂
Right! Can you blame him? Walks in and offers to buy everyone a round and they just ignore him.
Absolutely bro even if it was a random dude to me I woulda said hell yeah and sparked conversation. Everyone turned to crickets, that was weird lol
Not everyone is such a casual. We're im from we buy our own drinks. Once we get to know someone, we might do a shot lol
Yeah cause people at a bar at 1pm want to have beers with a camera in their face…
Non cultured comment
Bronson is a national treasure
I swear
i enjoy all the art you make but for some reason this stood out for me. maybe being from oklahoma makes me appreciate quality burgers. the beef from here is like no other in taste and quality. it must be the minerals in the grass and water that sustain the cattle.
I've been there, and never realized how big that place was. Definitely one of the best burgers in the entire city.
Good Irish bar vibes there, now I gotta go.
I've passed this place so many times above on the 7 train, definitely gotta try it.
some well cooked burgers and flavor combinations, will definitely check it out whenever I’m back home on the east. love me a properly cooked burger with all the right toppings and the bun of course🍔👌🏾salute bro
26k views in 3 hours, Bronson still bangin' in 2025
"The only way to describe his paintings is that he's seen Predator before" GOLD!!
@7:00 - 7:16 had the "Traveling the Stars - Ancient Aliens" vibe. Miss that show of debauchery
Donovan’s is still so good. Have to get it on an English Muffin. Best burger and chicken pot pie.
Exceptional episode. Love the solo mission - just a man, 4 burgers and a collection of Dalí lithographs
9:58 speaking stained glass, you should check out Elks Temple Hotel in Tacoma, WA. The stained glass and lanturns are incredible!
Donovan’s is the spot!!! I actually love their wings too
Never even had the burger cause I only focus on the wings - I’ve been messing up
I know this pub makes phenomenal burgers simply because their Texas burger actually appeals to this Texan lol. So many people up north make their “Texas” themed items barbecue themed but we’re really all about the peppers. Hatch chilis are making their way down here from NM too recently. Hatch chili burgers are amazing, if you’re ever in Ruidoso try one at Anaheim Jacks
Another great episode i think you should make your own Patented Bam Bam Burger that would be lit 🔥
We need more bronson wildly walking around places giving tours
Haven’t watched this show in years. Glad to see it’s still going. I miss the old Viceland days. Covid kinda ruined everything. Keep going tho fam. BX to Queens. One love
Love how the owner visited Dali museum in st Pete and was hooked
Let’s go, I’m so glad these are back. Also what a server at Donovan’s I loved her
Anne Marie is the best!
7:50 - Bam’s sides exposé request response 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My new response to every reasonable request. Meme it.
The people behind the putting together of these videos are extremely talented.
As a big guy who got in shape then sort of lost it again, I can fully understand what this man is going through. The world is full of too many fun things to eat to live that health kick life forever. I get it
Sophisticated 🤌🏽
They also have a lot of great Bands playing here too. Food is classic
