Nightlife in
Aruba
Gusto Nightclub Aruba has found a new home! Formerly located at the Village Mall, Gusto has now moved just down the road to the vibrant Paseo Herencia Mall in Palm Beach—right in the heart of the action.
Gusto is one of Aruba’s most popular nightlife spots, known for its high-energy DJ sets, VIP bottle service, and premium hookahs. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just out for a wild night with friends, this place knows how to bring the party.
There’s a daily Happy Hour from 6 to 10 PM, so it’s the perfect spot to kick off your night. Want the VIP experience? You can make reservations for a private table with bottle service to keep the drinks flowing and skip the lines.
If you’re looking for a stylish, lively night out in Aruba, Gusto delivers.

Looking for laughs in Aruba? Head to the Aruba Ray’s Comedy Club, located at Double Down Sports Bar at Eagle Aruba Resort in the Eagle Beach area.
This comedy club runs November 17 through April, with select summer shows added in during the off-season. Hosted by the always entertaining Ray Ellin, the club features a rotating lineup of professional comedians flown in from the U.S.—many of whom have been seen on Comedy Central, HBO, and Netflix.
I’ve been multiple times, and it’s always a blast—you’ll be laughing for hours! Tickets are just $46, making it an affordable and unforgettable night out in Aruba. Shows typically run about 90 minutes to 2 hours, and the atmosphere is super fun and casual. Highly recommend!

Tucked away behind Fat Tuesday in Palm Beach, this hidden gem might look like a clothing boutique at first glance—but don’t be fooled. The real clue you’re in the right place is the stunning hostess with a clipboard standing out front.
With only a handful of tables and limited bar seating, this spot is intimate, cozy, and undeniably sexy—so be sure to make a reservation. Dress to impress too—no beachwear or flip-flops allowed.
This awesome beach bar sits right on a pier in Palm Beach—the perfect spot for sunset views and a refreshing after-beach drink or happy hour. To get there, take the path to De Palm Pier from the street, right between the RIU and the Hilton, and walk all the way to the sand.
The vibes are always on point, with live music every night and a fun, lively crowd. Enjoy happy hour specials and live singers daily from 5–6 pm and again from 10–11 pm (extended to 5–7 pm during high season). The musicians cover popular songs that everyone sings along and dances to—it’s a whole vibe.
There are live bands on Tuesday (Joy Ride Band), Friday, and Sunday (Travel Session Band). Wednesdays and Saturdays are for karaoke lovers, and there’s a DJ spinning on Thursday nights.
It’s also an amazing spot to meet people, especially if you’re traveling solo. The staff is fantastic and super friendly, making it a welcoming place for everyone.

They have the delicious frozen drinks that you can mix and match!
