Aruba Beach Cafe: Where the Party and the Flavors Meet

Aruba Beach Cafe is the quintessential Florida beach destination, recently visited and proving that the earlier year’s renovations were absolutely worth it. I stopped in on a rainy November day specifically for Happy Hour and found the experience to be immensely rewarding. This venue is unequivocally where the party is at—it’s crowded every night, and the live entertainment always rocks. If you’re on vacation, this is the spot for fun. The food is consistently good, the prices are fair, and the venue is clean.

The kitchen here is top notch, helmed by Chef Chris Nealon, who has earned multiple awards and accolades for his creative cuisine.

A recent Happy Hour visit confirmed the value, with cocktails like the Sea Breeze and Bay Breeze being perfectly prepared. The Angus Sliders were described as incredible. For dinner starters, the conch fritters and pot stickers are reliable go-tos. Frankly, the reviewer asserts you can’t go wrong with any item on the menu.
