Fat Tuesday Aruba is the island’s most fun beachfront bar — located at J.E. Irausquin Blvd 348A in Noord, it’s the place on Palm Beach for frozen drinks, a lively crowd, and the kind of easy, no-agenda evening that Aruba does better than anywhere else in the Caribbean.
The frozen daiquiris are the main event. Fat Tuesday has perfected the frozen drink — properly frozen, properly strong, in flavours that range from classic strawberry to the more adventurous combinations that the bar has become known for. The nachos and empanadas are the perfect accompaniment.

The Frozen Drinks
The drink menu runs to dozens of frozen combinations — tropical fruits, rum, vodka, and everything in between. The classic strawberry daiquiri is perfect, but the real reward is trying the daily specials and the more experimental combinations the bartenders create. It’s genuinely one of the best places on the island to sit at the bar and let the afternoon go by.
The food menu is straightforward: nachos, empanadas, burgers, and simple Caribbean bites that work perfectly alongside the drinks. It’s not a fine dining destination — it’s a cold drink in a perfect setting, and it does that better than anywhere on the strip.
The Setting
Right on Palm Beach with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop, Fat Tuesday is positioned for maximum enjoyment of what Aruba does best: warm evening air, cold drinks, turquoise water, and the kind of sunset that makes everything feel uncomplicated. Sunday through Thursday from 5 PM – midnight; Friday and Saturday from 5 PM – 1 AM.
