4.4 / 5.0(43 reviews)
Finally a place open late in Bonaire. Tried to go to several places at 9pm and got denied. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND PLACES TO EAT HERE?? Anyways we got the fried shrimp it was so 🔥🔥and the bbq ribs. It was ok - would probably get the bbq chicken if I went again. We were starving didn’t get pics of the food. Big greasy burgers, lovely grilled shrimp and mojitos served in a popcorn bucket, all for decent prices (especially during happy hour). Really what more could you want? Laid back but the music is a bit loud I recently had an amazing experience at Bucket Bar Bonaire! The food was exquisite, offering a delightful blend of flavors that left my taste buds dancing. The cold drinks were the perfect companions, refreshing and expertly crafted. The F1 qualifying atmosphere added an extra layer of excitement, creating a vibrant ambiance. A special shoutout to Rachel, our server, who elevated the dining experience with her exceptional service. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our evening. Bucket Bar Bonaire is a must-visit for anyone seeking a fantastic combination of delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a lively atmosphere!

Great Food & Drinks with a View – Bucket Bar, Bonaire Bucket Bar is the perfect spot to kick back, enjoy the breeze, and dig into some seriously good food. The casual, laid-back atmosphere makes it a great place to relax, whether you’re stopping in for a drink or a full meal. The steak sandwich was incredible—juicy, flavorful, and absolutely massive (definitely big enough to share!). It was one of those meals that surprises you in the best way, and every bite was worth savoring. To top it off, the smoothie was the perfect refreshment on a hot day—cold, fruity, and exactly what was needed after some time in the sun. With a fantastic view and friendly service, Bucket Bar is a great choice for a relaxed meal and drinks in Bonaire. Definitely a place worth checking out!
