The Sunnyside Post reports that Donovan’s Pub, the much-loved Woodside neighborhood institution that was for sale this summer for $3,200,000, is likely going to have new investors. Here’s the skinny:

Several sources have confirmed that Joe Donovan is close to reaching a deal with two local investors who want to buy the bar/restaurant as well as the property. A Donovan’s employee, who confirmed the information, said the deal would most likely close after Thanksgiving.

The potential owners attended the recent Taste of Woodside event and helped serve the food offered by Donovan’s.

Neighbors will likely be pretty happy about this turn of events, since it appears that it will continue on as a pub and/or eating and drinking establishment. Historically, Donovan’s has had wider appeal throughout NYC as a favorite spot for burgers.
