There is only one Bugaloe on Aruba: it is the hottest place to be cool and the coolest place to be hot. Friends and fun are the main ingredients at the beach bar, but great food, drinks and music get a good second place. The sunsets, the breeze and the turquoise ocean are right at the top as well, of course. Bugaloe is located on De Palm Pier between the RIU Palace and the Radisson Resort at the Hi-Rise strip: an easy walk from all the major hotels.

Best location for lunch - sitting on the end of a pier, listening to music, drinking some of the coldest beer on the island, and having a nice leisurely lunch. This is not fancy food but just good "bar food" - the usual sandwiches, chips, pizzas, salads, etc. Love the tuna wrap with capers - we never miss this place for drinks and a casual lunch. Service is always good here, too!

We have always enjoyed Bugaloe great value. Drinks were very good Margerita for DW and a Mojito for me. DW had the whole red snapper and I have a grouper filet. Excellent service, food and drinks at very reasonable prices.

DD wanted to check the Salsa workshop given by ArubaSalsa.com, so we went for dinner to Bugaloe. They had
live entertainment that night in addition to the Salsa lessons. Drinks were good. DW had a grouper wrap, DD
had the burger, and I had the grouper salad. It was hot that night and no breeze at all due to the storm that
passed through earlier. The light fare worked fine for us. DD had a good time doing the Salsa. We would go
again for a lighter meal.
Coldest beer on the island! And they have a good, casual, affordable lunch (sandwiches, salads, pizza, etc.) - great place to spend the afternoon for lunch and a few COLD ones!
We've been to Aruba several times and always go to Bugaloe's for excellent food, great brews, good fun, people watching , sunsets, and island music. Frank, the owner, is an endearing personality, always a smile and friendly hello, Just love it and can't wait to get back. A must while you're there. Looking for comfort, casual to the max....See you in May, Frank.
A great little bar located on the pier over the water on Palm Beach. It's been a favorite of ours for years and you can't beat the location, casual atmosphere, COLDEST beer on the island, and a bite to eat for lunch. Food, of course, is not gourmet but it hits the spot - good nachos and quesadillas.
One of the best places in Aruba. The staff is the best, the location the best and the food is as good as one can get on the Island for price and quality. If you don't visit the Bugaloe on the beach you have not seen the best of this "Happy Island". It is a must for any visitor to Aruba.
We only went for drinks, the sunset and some live music. Great spot to relax while watching a beautiful Aruban sunset.
Fantastic sunsets with yummy Brights! We spent many nights enjoying the ice cold Brights and friendly staff. Garlic shrimp was our favorite menu item. Hope to see y'all again soon! :)
After coming to Aruba for about 7 years
we can say that Bugaloe is the place to be. The best bartenders, great music, phenomenal food and high quality service. once we enter the pier we seem to forget about the rest of the world. even though we miss the old staff ,,Dirk, Yappi ,Lupe, little Anna. we also getting very closed to the new ones they are great. crazy Mirtha,tender-show-man Ruben always caring Dianna and last but least the amazing smile and friendliness of Rosmarys. We will miss you guys.
Bugaloe is the first place we go when we arrive and the last before we take off.. highly recommended..
Good place for lunch and fun. Walked up to this place for a light lunch and a couple of beers. The grouper sandwich is very good.
Got engaged on the pier here at the bar in May 2008 - we miss Franc!!!
great atmosphere, staff - came back night after night for happy hour and late night. lots of locals and tourists. we have recommended to everyone that has gone to aruba to go to our beach bar and they have all really "camped out" there!
Love to staff - Heather & Joe
Fun little bar on DePalm Pier. Beer is always ice cold and food is casual but good. Had our usual chips and cheese and split some quesadillas along with so many Brights that we lost count. Some of the best bartenders on the island!
This is a nice place for breakfast, lunch or a quick bite to eat. The scenery is beautiful and the people are relaxed and friendly. This is a nice place to hang out at night for a few drinks and watch the sunset.
Not really a place for dinner - I would do lunch/drinks and maybe dinner if you had too much to drink. Great location if you can find it - on the beach by the Riu hotel. Great location. Crab salad could have been real crab but it wasn't. Burger was excellent. Definitely a great place for drinks overlooking the ocean.
What a great time! Wonderful place to go watch the sunset, it is a pier off the beach, the beer is cold, the staff is phenomenal! We made this our last stop every night and had a great time!
It's a great place.The bartenders are great except for Derek.The waitstaff is very polite and helpful. The food is very tasty(chicken ques,wings and burgers are great). The music is some of the best that i have heard in aruba.Could use some tv's. The beer is ice cold!!!.It's worth to give it a try.
