Mr. Porter

Mr. Porter is a popular bar, known for its great cocktails and of course its location right at the beginning of Nieuwestraat in bustling Pietermaai. 'Laid Back Vibes' and 'Great Bar' are the key words to best describe this place. On Saturdays they usually have live music. Thursday nights are always high-energy, with the entire street alive with excitement. Those nights tend to be very popular and will get this place really busy! Great atmosphere!

Netto Bar

For almost 70 years, locals and tourists have come down here for fun and shots of the famous green liquor “Ron Berde”.

It’s probably fair to say if you have been to Curacao and you didn’t visit Netto bar, you had a sober vacation.
Everyone has been here, even the Dutch king!
What is a history without the historically lively bar to kick off your weekend and take crazy Instagram shots with your friends!

Swinging Old Lady Brewery

Located on the waterfront of Otrobanda, overlooking the harbor, this new venue is a welcome addition to the microbrewery scene. The owners have gone to great lengths to build a brewery that is here to stay, with huge on-site stainless steel vats distilling a good number of new local brews, that everyone is sitting down to try. The facility has large interior rooms, some large enough to host a big party or gathering...and they have a deck with a spectacular Instagram view of the bridge its name is derived from. The menu offers up some nice twists on traditional pub food, that suit the atmosphere and the lagers and ales just fine. Definitely worth a try.

Tap Maar In

This is one of our favorite spots on the Island. It is such a cozy, fun, warm local bar, that embraces travelers and locals alike. Especially on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, which are Karaoke nights. You don’t have to sing to have a great time here, but if you do want to get up and do a song or two, the entire crowd will back you all the way. Everyone is here to have fun. The owner Nina may just win the prize for being the nicest person in the world. She has been running it since 1984 and knows every regular and what they drink by name. She serves a small menu of bar food with a big warm smile. Big parking lot right out front. The entire Otra team is here a lot, singing our hearts out.

The Captain Bar

It's a fun little pub, right by the waterfront of Otrobanda. It’s a favorite spot for both tourists and locals to stop for a glass of draft beer or shots at the bar. It's a great place to mingle. You will frequently meet the local dart teams practicing their skills and having fun. And if you are going to grab a meal, they serve a great tenderloin. TIP: Try some of their crispy wings or cheeseballs as bar snacks.
