The White Hill Bar is located above San Nicolaas, along a country road where I normally ride my bicycle. It’s a tiny joint, attached to a house, and staffed by a single old chap who listens to the radio at full volume.
This place is different from your average rum shop in that it doesn’t have a busy trade. It’s mostly just a few guys talking early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The selection of beverages is small, too, a few different soft drinks, a few types of beer. Pastechi are on sale in the morning, but I’m not a fan of those. Either way, when I pass by on my bike around 7am it’s a relief to pop in for a cold bottle of water or juice. Thus, if you’re cruising about the island and want to meet some local people, don’t hesitate to give a place like this a try.
Bon dia from Aruba.
Sounds like a place awaay from the maddening crowd. So how do you get there?
To get to White Hill Bar, you take the inland road in Savaneta and follow it all the way out to the heights above San Nicolaas. I don’t have a more accurate way of telling you because none of the roads are named and I just keep following one or the other until I come upon my destination. Sorry.
