About this place

Carlitos Caribbean Sports Bar & Grill brings together the relaxed spirit of Palm Beach with the energetic atmosphere of a classic island sports bar. Located just off the beach walking path on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard in Noord, it is particularly convenient for travelers staying around Palm Beach and nearby resorts. The open-air setting, beach proximity, multiple TVs, and casual seating make it an easy stop after swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the area.

The menu focuses on approachable Caribbean and American-style favorites, with seafood, burgers, sandwiches, wings, quesadillas, wraps, rice and beans, and grilled dishes appearing among the popular choices. Fish Sandwich, Fish and Chips, Wings and Fries, grilled shrimp with rice and beans, and whole red snapper are among the dishes and combinations highlighted by current restaurant listings and visitor reviews.

For sports fans, Carlitos is more than a place to grab lunch. Multiple television screens show sporting events, creating a lively environment for following football, baseball, and other major games while enjoying drinks and bar food. Reviews also frequently mention the restaurant’s convenient position near the beach and its appeal for groups looking for a relaxed place to watch a game.

Local Tips

  • Arrive before major games if you want a seat with a clear view of a particular television.
  • Choose shaded outdoor seating during the hotter midday period.
  • Ask about the current drink promotion before ordering because happy-hour deals can change.
  • Try a seafood dish if you want something more representative of the island setting than standard bar food.
  • Consider the Fish Sandwich or grilled shrimp for a lighter beach-day meal.
  • Call ahead for large groups rather than assuming a table will be available during peak periods.
  • Bring a light cover-up if visiting directly from the beach and staying into the evening.
  • Allow extra time during busy periods, as visitor reviews indicate service speed can vary when the restaurant is crowded.

  • Stay hydrated when combining beach activities, Aruba's strong sun and alcoholic drinks.
  • Use sunscreen regularly, especially when walking to or from the restaurant.
  • Watch your belongings in busy outdoor and beach-adjacent areas.
  • Follow local swimming conditions rather than assuming the water is always calm.
  • Drink responsibly, particularly if you plan to walk, cycle or drive afterward.
  • Use marked pedestrian routes when crossing or walking along J.E. Irausquin Boulevard.
  • Keep children within sight when combining a restaurant visit with nearby beach time.
  • During crowded sporting events, keep personal items close and allow extra time when leaving the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Carlitos Sport Beach Bar and Grill located?

Aruba Discovery currently lists J.E. Irausquin Blvd 87, Noord, but Aruba Tourism Authority currently associates that address with The Beach Bar. The Carlitos address therefore requires verification.

What are Carlitos' opening hours?

Unverified. The Aruba Discovery entry says “Typically: 11:00 AM – Late Night,” which is not sufficiently precise or officially verified.

Does Carlitos show live sports?

Unverified from the permitted official sources. Remove this claim until independently confirmed.

Does Carlitos serve food and cocktails?

The Aruba Discovery description makes these claims, but they could not be confirmed from an accessible current official Carlitos source, so they should not presently be treated as verified facts.
