A trip to Aruba isn’t complete without at least one night out on the town! The island offers plenty of fun and entertainment from the early evening to early morning hours. At various locations, whether you are in the high-rise resort area of Palm Beach or in downtown Oranjestad, you can find dance clubs, piano bars, cocktail lounges, beach bars, casinos, sports bars, wine bars, and more.
The sun may have set but the fun never stops on our One Happy Island. Check out a selection of some of Aruba’s most popular clubs and bars:
Downtown Oranjestad
Want to escape the hustle and bustle of the popular resort area and dare to dive into some of the more local spots? Head downtown to Oranjestad for a change of atmosphere and downtown vibes.
Great grub, famous cocktails, good music, and an authentic, fun dining experience alongside the Renaissance Marina.
It’s always 5 o’Clock here (surprise). This rustic outdoor bar located at the Renaissance Marketplace offers beats, bar bites, drinks and live entertainment.

Lounge at L.G. Smith’s Steak & Chop House

An endless selection of restaurants and nightly live entertainment options, all offered in a festive and intriguing atmosphere that we call ambient here in Aruba.
Palm Beach
Palm Beach, the area consisting of high-rise resorts and restaurants, is a great location choice if you want to be within walking distance of your resort and hop around to different spots. This area is booming with lively and entertaining hotspots, there’s never a dull moment in Palm Beach!
Beach Bars
Most are ideal for daytime fun and happy hour, but many of these spots also carry the fun vibes well into the evening. The island is filled with bon (good) vibes, year-round sunshine, smiles… and dushi (sweet/tasty) cocktails! So with that being said, don’t feel obliged to wait until 5 o’clock to order that frozen cocktail (or mocktail) of choice, worry not, there is no judgment in Aruba, only a happy time to be had from sun up til sundown.
