    My adult children and I went to The Old Dutch for dinner and drinks, last week while on vacation. The staff was awesome! The food was so good! The music was playing songs my kids and I all knew, and most everyone in the place was singing along. It was a great time. I would definitely frequent this little bar if I lived there. (Limited menu, but they are adding items)

    A great little bar on the edge of town, we brought a band from the states and we packed the place. The bartenders were fantastic! Fast, funny, definitely on their game! We are all very familiar with the service industry and we know a great staff when we see it! Thanks for a great night!

    My husband and I stopped here on a whim after driving by this place many, many times. We were hungry and being a vegetarian, I wasn’t sure there would be anything to eat. The menu was fantastic but nothing to suit my pallet. I was happy to sit and let my hubby enjoy the food but I decided to ask if they could whip something up. Well, they were happy to do so and I had the most amazing sautéed veggies I have had in a very long time. This was surely a one-off for them but kudos to a job well done and I so appreciated the effort. My belly was quite appreciative as well! Hubby had the spinach lasagna and surf and turf wraps and raved about it as well! Great atmosphere and just great people. Definitely worth the stop!! Thank you so much!

    If you're looking to get away from tourists and look for something simple, The Old Dutch is the place for you. Good food with an amazing value (especially the filet mignon with onions and mushrooms). Beer by the bucket is also a great deal. Try it, and tell me I am wrong

    One of the nicest bar staff in all of Aruba! I asked for the bartender's choice and was greeted with one of the most delicious drinks I've had in a LONG time. Can't remember what it was called but it had Kraken rum in it and tasted like a Jolly Rancher candy. Superb!

    Like most of bars this Dutch Cafe, where you go for a drink listen to some songs have a a snack platter, it doubbles as a sport bar where you come sheer for your soccer team (or like me for someone elses)

    Fabulous local dive bar! We enjoyed the friendly locals and awesome bar staff. Always ask for Mas the bartender and Bugs the cook! Absolutely so happy we found this place while staying here. Good drinks without the "tourist price hike". -🥚

  • 5/5 Jacqueline L. 1 year ago on Google
    Literally went out of our way to come here and so worth it to hang with Gilbert and play pool. So hard to find a billiards table but we had a great chill night. Looks like a lot of bar crawls stop here but also a great destination if youre into dive bars! Also thanks to Mas xx
