Pacifico Bar Restaurant is a no-frills local bar and eatery in central Oranjestad — the kind of unmarked neighborhood spot where locals stop in for a cold beer, a plate of comfort food, and a few hours of game-watching. The 100+ reviews tell you it has its loyal following.

About Pacifico Bar Restaurant
Set in a residential pocket of Oranjestad, Pacifico runs as a casual bar with a working kitchen — daily specials chalked on a board, a small dining area, a long bar, and TV screens for the major games. Local Balashi flows freely, the prices are honest, and the staff knows the regulars by name. Cash usually preferred.

Signature Dishes & Menu Highlights
Order whatever’s on the daily-special board — usually a stoba (Aruban stew), grilled fish, or a chicken plate served with rice, beans, and pan bati. The pulled-pork sandwich on a soft bun is a strong sandwich choice. Cold Balashi is the local beer move.

What Diners Say
Reviewers describe Pacifico as ‘a great little local bar’ with friendly service and reasonable prices. Not a destination dining experience — just an honest neighborhood spot that does what it does well. Great for hanging out with locals and watching a game.
