    Lovely cosy bar with very friendly staff! Spacious inside with also tables outside. Good range of beers and cocktails. We went here twice during our holiday in Aruba, the first night they were playing jazz tunes and it was lovely. The 2nd night (Saturday) there was a band playing live which was very far from being a jazz band, this did disappoint us as we were expecting to see live jazz, but still liked the place and would go back.

    Very friendly and accommodating bar/restaurant. Thereโ€™s no menus but the owner bends over backwards to make you something perfect for your needs. Good live music from local bands weekly and a beautiful atmosphere. Support this local small business!

    Great beer selection and tasty local snacks. The owner is very nice and made sure we were well taken care of. She even makes her own hot sauce to go along with the food.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome little bar frequented by locals off the beaten path. Not that far of a walk from the main strip downtown. Went there twice while we were on vacation. Tuesday night was the jam session and Friday night we went back for a Whisky tasting. Drinks were made by the greatest bartender ever, Will. I recommend you give him ideas of what you like, sweet, savory, type of alcohol and just let him create something for you. Eric the owner was very friendly and doubles as the bass player during the jam session. Prices were very reasonable and not a tourist trap. Little bit hard to find, but if you find Flor de Oriente restaurant, it is off to the side of that.

    Great jazz place in Aruba. Went there for open mic. Our host from seven shades of blue (amazing airbnb) was playing with his Reggae band. Excellent selection of drinks , great patio and atmosphere.

    Great little place! The whisky tasting was a unique experience on our last day on the island. Can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 LM 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere in this local jazz bar, Tuesday and Thursday nights local talent with spontaneous jam session with local musicians, always a surprise. Stylish setting with plenty of breeze outside seating. Sanne/Will are great hostess/bartender, and owner Eric is always there jamming on his bass guitar. Repeat worthy.
