If you’re seeking something more pubby than clubby, sleuth out this casual and comforting spot tucked away on Cove Mall's far corner facing the Holiday Inn parking lot.

Opened in 1977, this was the first restaurant in Aruba to offer feet-in-the-water dining, and that's why the legendary landmark is so worth the trek out to Savaneta for its insanely romantic seaside setting. An international menu is designed to please all palates, but the real culinary draw is fish straight from the island’s most famous local fisherman’s pier located a few doors over. The setting is enchanting, with fabulous sunset views giving way to twinkling lights of tiki torches and lights set in the sea; even the indoor decor is awash with artificial stars. Reserve well in advance for a table in the water.

What began as a classy laid-back wine and tapas piano bar, has evolved into more of a New York-style steak lounge meets BBQ joint thanks to the popularity of the Big Green Egg BBQ trend. Once they began using this ceramic outdoor charcoal grill to offer up big hearty juicy cowboy steaks and grilled lobster tails, the aroma and smoke drew an entirely different kind of hungry and hearty crowd. There's still live music and a great selection of tapas and wines by the glass if you want to just pop in before or after visiting the Alhambra Casino next door. In fact, they won a 2021 Wine Spectator Award.
