Amare Beach Bar sits steps from the Palm Beach sand on JE Irausquin Boulevard 87 — a casual cocktail-and-bites spot perfectly placed for sundowner drinks, late-afternoon snacks, or that easy first-night-in-Aruba dinner where you don’t want to think about it. With a 4.4 rating across 250+ reviews and one of the best happy-hour lineups on the strip, it’s the casual Palm Beach beach-bar that punches above its weight.

About Amare Beach Bar
The setup is open-air with both tall bar tables and lower lounge seating, low-key island music, and a chill staff that knows the regulars. Cocktails are the headline (the bar list is genuinely creative), but the small-plates kitchen turns out solid bar food — flatbreads, sliders, ceviche, charcuterie, wings. Happy hour typically runs 4-7 PM with strong daily specials.
