Sunset drinks, beach bars, dancing & the nights that accidentally end at 3AM.

One of my favorite spots for a more elevated night out. It’s a speakeasy hidden in downtown Oranjestad with an apothecary theme, really good cocktails and such a cool atmosphere. Start here for drinks and don’t be surprised if your “one cocktail” tur...
Apotek Speakeasy

One of the easiest places to start your night in Aruba. You’re literally on the beach, drink in hand, watching the sunset — and as the night goes on the vibe gets livelier. Definitely check what event they have going on because some nights are way mo...
MooMba Beach Bar & Restaurant

For when you want drinks by the water without being in the middle of the Palm Beach chaos. Much more of a chill sunset, cocktails and conversation kind of night.
Surfside Beach Bar

Start here when the plan is “cute drinks” but everyone secretly knows we’re going out after. Good cocktails, central location and you’re already right by the rest of the Palm Beach nightlife.

Such a fun switch-up from a normal bar. Live piano, people singing along, song requests and drinks — especially good with a group when you want entertainment without committing to a full club night.
The Sopranos Piano Bar

When you actually want to GO OUT. DJs, dancing, drinks, tourists + locals and much more of a proper club vibe. I’d go later rather than making this your first stop of the night.

Another one for an actual party night. Outdoor club energy, DJs, dancing and the kind of place you go when sitting peacefully with one cocktail is officially no longer the agenda.

Touristy? Absolutely. But sometimes touristy is exactly the assignment. Loud music, ridiculous drinks and a very unserious vacation-night-out vibe. Go with a group and embrace the chaos.

If you want to get away from the super touristy Palm Beach scene, put this on your list. More casual, more local-feeling, good music and just a completely different night-out vibe.
Café Chaos

For something completely different: country-bar energy in Aruba lol. Think drinks, music, karaoke and a fun stop when you want something more casual than a nightclub.
Saloon Bar Aruba

If you’re with your girls, a birthday group or just want somebody else to figure out the entire night for you — this is the chaotic option. You get driven around to different bars, so nobody has to volunteer as designated driver. Very touristy, very ...

Even if you’re not a huge gambler, walking into one of the casinos after dinner for a drink and a little roulette/slots moment is such a classic Aruba vacation night. Set a budget before you go because vacation math is dangerous.
