We stopped in for a beer on a quiet afternoon. It was the best experience. Cool atmosphere, great music, friendly bartender, and the best selection of Belgian beer. Can't believe this place is in Aruba. I love the island vibes but this is the perfect escape from the tourist chaos along the waterfront.
Great local Irish pub with a fun atmosphere. The drinks are fairly cheap and the bartenders are great. If you like to dance, this is a good spot since when there is a live band. The Aperol spritz is a 10 out of 10.
Cool local bar for great local Aruba craft beers, Dutch craft beers, and more. Was there during a weekday evening so it was a pretty chill vibe. Some good rock songs playing from the bar stereo playlist. It's across the street from a popular mall on the water.
A must if you are staying at the Renaissance, walk across the street and crawl back. Only down side is that the music always starts late and cannot stay up long enough to enjoy it. 2022, still an awesome spot to find great beers, new bartender José is great, still did not stay out long enough to hear the band, left at 11:00.
Great little place. Band when we went was legitimately highly skilled and awesome. They distinctly preferred classic rock like Led Zeppelin, and had similar originals. There are different bands all the time though. Maybe the best selection of craft beers on the island? One of the few places in the area that doesn't feel like a space made purely to attract tourists.
