(Bachelor's, Master's & PhD)

If you are worried about how to spend your evenings here, then welcome to RocApply Aruba Nightlife! The nightlife in the country is pretty quiet Sunday through Wednesday unless you know the right places to go to (hint: ask the natives).

Otherwise, check around for flyers advertising ladies’ nights early in the week. Friday nights are popular, and Saturday nights are the busiest of the week. Arrive early if you want to get a good table at discotecas on the weekends, and avoid any lines at the popular spots.

Dress codes apply to a minority of discotecas in the major towns. Ninety-ninepercent of the time you won't need to worry about dressing up for a night of partying here. For both men and women, jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers are perfect.

The women tend to dress up more than men, which is the case for much of the Caribbean region. There's a broad blend of music in Aruba. Generally, middle and upper-class Arubans prefer elect  Aruba is well set up to cater to the whims of a varied crowd, with dining options for all types of visitors.

Restaurants run the gamut, from fast food and steaks to the great seafood and French fare, and many also offer entertainment. Aruba is quite costy and the top eateries require advanced booking in high season. The nightlife is pretty awesome, with scores of pubs, bars, and clubs. The local brew is the rather tasty Balashi Beer.ronic melodies, and these clubs are common in large cities. 

Nightlife can be had within Oranjestad and all the way up to the High Rise strip in Palm Beach. While not particularly raucous, there are some good options for night owls and also for those who just fancy kicking back at a cocktail corner for some quality people-watching. There is just everything from martini bars and beach huts to discos, karaoke, and swanky bistros.

Happy hour at the beach is popular as many bars have resident DJs. Clubs tend to fill up around 10:00 p.m., while dance clubs don’t get going until after midnight, closing about 2:00 a.m. Entry is easy going for the younger crew, and dress is casual. The crowd is a blend of tourists and locals, gay and straight.
