    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.

    This is by far my most favorite bar I went to in Aruba, and it's way up there for any bar I've been to in the world. It's just a bar, no food, so don't ask (but sometimes there are donuts). The music is great, the crowd is cool, and the bartender is awesome. I came in for a beer and didn't leave for hours. It's a strange vibe though. The bartender handed out those snaps you threw as a kid and we were throwing handfuls at people. Lots of laughs and lots of fun. If you're out for fun, the bar is open into the early hours, unlike many other places here. Definitely try to stop in.

    Aruba has very few places to listen to good music and this is one of them, they have live music on the weekends and reasonable prices on drinks, if you want to rock a little this is the ideal place.

    Overpaying a bit for a bucket of small beers is OK but charging customers to use the restroom is unacceptable

    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.

    Cafe Chaos was the perfect gem! My boyfriend and I love craft beer and the island of Aruba isn't popular for this! Patrick (our bartender) was so great! Service was wonderful, and it was so nice being in a local venue without a ton of tourists (except us!) And got to enjoy some delicious Belgian and German brews!

    Make sure to stop by when they have a live band. Great place in Aruba where the locals hang out. Afterward, check out the food truck near by for an arepa!

  • 5/5 Andrew G. 4 years ago on Google
    This is the bar! Howard is rad, we go here every time we stop over as crew members. They have Affligem Blond beer which I'm sold already, but good prices, good atmosphere and a nice micro selection for those of you beer snobs out there

    Our Airbnb was close by so we stopped at Cafe Choas a few times during our stay. The owner of the bar Robert (his real name is Patrick) is outstanding. Great atmosphere, food, and drinks. If you are nearby you must stop by and visit! Very welcoming and inviting. Thanks again Robert! 😬

  • 1/5 Dn_Jon 3 years ago on Google
    Horrible service and irresponsibly over serving some people. Asked the staff 3 times if I could order a drink only to be completely ignored while they over-served people all around me (one lady fell on the floor she was so drunk). On a Saturday night they only had 2 people working there, bad planning on their part. After 20 minutes of being completely ignored we decided to leave. Try any other bar in the area and you’ll likely have a better experience.

👍👍 I stopped by this open air bar and restaurant for a quick drink. The atmosphere is refreshing with trade winds and the ocean right there. It's a large space with quick service and friendly attitudes.

👍 My wife and I found this place about 3 blocks from our Renaissance resort. It's tucked away from the tourist area so we assumed correctly that the locals eat there.
