    Presently called Beach Bar, its terrace facing the sea is an excellent location to enjoy a drink at sunset. Parking is more easily available in the hotel lot across the street. Good selection of drinks and snacks on the menu, happy hour available at specific times. The staff is friendly and efficient, but the place is very popular and can get crowded with slower service. One of my favourite spots for a drink in the island.

    There were 6 of us we had a great time! Views are awesome and great sunset shots! Happy Hour was 5-6 for half price drinks. DJ was very god and played great mix of dance soul and beach groove. The beach view is spectacular as the sunset view!

    Awesome burgers and mojitos. Don't order the fish unless it's to go. The flies will swarm you and take your fish. They will bother you will you eat your burger but it wasn't as bad as the fish. Service was kinda slow here but it was close so we came back a few times.

    Great location and absolutely the best place for sunsets and Happy Hour! However Check Your Bill. The waitresses all seem new and were the worst I've encountered on the island. Didn't try the food and during my month long stay I will now sit on the beach with my own cocktails!!!

    View itself very, very nice, but beyond that was fairly disappointing. Service wasn't great and drinks weren't very good. Got bourbon iced tea and even getting 2 for 1 during happy hour could only get one down as it didn't really have any flavor and just tasted massively watered down. Waiter gave us a free drink that was a misorder from another table, and drank it bc it was a frozen drink so that was good, but again had almost no flavor. We did get nachos which tasted pretty good, but amount of food didn't match the $14 price tag of them. Go here for the views, but don't Stat here for the food and drinks

    Such a nice place with a fantastic view on the beach and ocean. Coctails were very good. Also the food is great. We were here 6 times and will go again when we will be on Aruba next time

    Craving a casual evening we stopped here for a burger. I don’t know if was the combination of being tipsy and hungry but this was one of the best burgers (+cheese+bacon) that I’ve ever had, and at 60 l’ve had a few. Anyway we are going back before we leave to see if they can deliver the same tastebud results.

    Very friendly staff and the food was top-notch. I wound up eating breakfast there everyday before setting out on my adventures, then ending the day with some Balashis and a great sunset view. Treat them (including tipping them) well, and maybe they'll give you some advice for the area.

    The best vibes and views! A bit confusing as it's referred to as both "Ocean View Bar" and "Beach Bar Aruba" but definitely worth a visit! Cocktails are delicious and the beach right next door is the perfect place to relax after lunch!

    Really nice food, the best we have found so far around the Divi resorts. And very family friendly.

    Amazing sunset view bar that is usually not too busy...good drinks and snack/bar food right on the beach.

  • 5/5 A v. 6 months ago on Google
    A beautiful location on a beautiful beach. The cocktails and lunch options are more bar style so don’t expect much, but decently tasty and good burgers. But the view and beach are phenomenal

  • 3/5 Robert G. 10 months ago on Google
    I went in the night, so there was no view. First, with only 3 people there, it took about 7 minutes to acknowledge me. I came for a hamburger because I was craving it. Took a while to come out (that's OK), but it was just mid. That's where the ultimate star rating comes from (I don't rate on service). It was what I call a "waste of my stomach" since I can only eat 2 full meals per day. I should have eaten somewhere else. There was nothing I can explicitly say about the burger being bad, but it wasn't worth what I paid for, and you can't say the "experience" was worth anything at all (unless you're talking about the struggling DJ behind me playing for the destination wedding or the smell of chemicals from cleaning the kitchen floor next to me). Save yourself and get a burger from some spot on the side of the road for half the price. $20.70 1 cheeseburger (w/fries) 1 fountain cola

    Great view, wonderful location but not the place for someone who wishes to dine without thundering, atrociously bad club music piercing their ears. Waitresses rudely refused to lower the volume despite multiple customers complaining. It’s a shame this place is taking up such a scenic, serene piece of the beach. Mind you, we were there at breakfast and music was blasting like it was a after midnight. Food was mediocre. Great coffee.

    Great food, great view, great staff, great prices. This is my favorite place in Aruba. Very close to a beach.

  • 4/5 Steve W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good local beer. All other drinks also available. Plus a small variety of foods you can eat there or take with you. All inclusive is great. You can eat or drink anything without a charge. Just tips if you're inclined. Very friendly staff.

    The Ocean View Bar was a spot we found and went back to a few times! The location is excellent to watch the sunset…and the happy hour didn’t hurt :) All of the food we had was also delicious. Stop by if you’re in the area or passing by!

    One of my favorite sunset bars away from all of the hustle of the high rise. Good burgers and great ambiance...highly recommend

  • 5/5 P. K. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic location for cocktails and light meal. Six of us hung out at happy hour (2 for 1) and shared nachos and other light items while staring out over a beautiful beach and ocean. Does it get any better than that. Service was very friendly and the food was good. I'm jealous of those who get to go here often. You should check it out if only for the beautiful sunsets every night.

    Best Bitterballen on the Island! They have the real authentic Van Dobben Bitterballen here! Great Ocean View Beach Bar! It’s not called ‘Ocean View Bar’ but ‘Beach Bar Aruba’.

👍👍 Hey All, Even though I gave it 5 Stars, it's a soft 5 stars, for the simple reason it took a while for us to get our meal. We were a party of 13!!! But once we received our food it was delicious.

👍👍 Great sandwhiches and drinks. Just remember if your not staying their (it's an All Inclusive Only). Buy tickets at the front desk to use at the bar. They do not accept any cash at the bar. It's a great spot to hangout for the day!
