About
A place where everyone belongs
Donnie J's is a neighborhood bar with a nightlife heartbeat, right here in the Canton area. Owner Donnie Atherton is building the spot Stark County has been missing: a warm, welcoming home for the LGBTQ+ community and everyone who loves us.
Come as you are. Pull up a stool, find your people, and stay for the show.
All are welcome. Always.
