A small bar with a long story: Netto Bar brings you into the heart of Otrobanda, where green rum, football memorabilia and conversations at the counter are part of its character.

About this restaurant

Netto Bar stands on Breedestraat in Otrobanda, the part of Willemstad across St. Anna Bay from Punda. Ernesto “Netto” Koster founded it in 1954, and its history is closely tied to the neighbourhood. Photographs, flags and football souvenirs give the interior plenty to look at while you settle in.

Its signature drink is Ròm Bèrdè, the green rum associated with the bar. Ask the bartender about it before ordering: discovering a local speciality is more interesting when you know what is in your glass. Beer is also part of the offering.

Make this a stop during a walk through Otrobanda rather than a destination that needs your whole evening. Leave time for the surrounding streets, then pause for a drink. If you want dinner afterwards, browse our restaurants in Curaçao. For announcements and special events, check Netto Bar’s own updates.

What we think

Netto Bar appeals most to visitors who enjoy places with a story and a strong neighbourhood identity. We would include it in an afternoon or evening exploring Otrobanda, with time to look around instead of simply ticking off the famous drink.
