👍👍 This is the first place I visited upon my late night arrival into Aruba. In the evening the menu is limited but they served up some of the best cheese balls I ever ate in my life, so much so I had 2 orders. In the evening it's more of a bar and music environment, with 2 other restaurants next door,... People often mention good, service, time, drinks,

    This is the first place I visited upon my late night arrival into Aruba. In the evening the menu is limited but they served up some of the best cheese balls I ever ate in my life, so much so I had 2 orders. In the evening it's more of a bar and music environment, with 2 other restaurants next door, playing music as well. So it's basically a small plaza of night life. I didn't get the chance to visit during the day but it's definitely a good spot in the evenings. The service was very good and the waitstaff was definitely accommodating. Thank you for a good time!

    5 Stars for this little hole in the wall! Drinks are cheap (for 🇦🇼 Aruba) and they have the world's best cheese balls! 7 beers and 10 cheese balls for $36... Music was good and Glenn, the owner, was hospitable and spent all his time chatting with his clients.

    (Translated by Google) Good place, very nice, excellent service, this cool to spend some time, have some alcoholic beverages, moderate prices, the menu is little varied, but that's fine, the beers are served dressed as a bride as it should be 👍🏾 (Original) Buen sitio muy agradable, el servicio excelente, esta chevere para pasar un rato, tomar alguna bebida alcohólica, precios moderados, el menu es poco variado, pero esta bien, las cervezas las sirven vestida de novia como debe de ser 👍🏾

    For an afternoon drink and to enjoy sunset, it is a nice place. Sadly, there was just one waitress with no experience. Some chairs need to be replaced. Their chickenwings is finger likking good!

    Very busy on a friday for afterwork drinks. Especialy when there is live music in the parkinglot. Food is average, but good thing is drinks are locally priced.

    Hamaka is nice. However, you should leave the establishment before 7pm because ot gets very loud and busy there around that time.
