We're just Happy people. Arriving for our Happy vacation next week. Any suggestions for Happy Hours?? Just a Happy Couple, The Trotters Jim and Roberta

welcome to bonaire talk. when you arrive on bonaire, pick up a copy of Bonaire Update at the rental car counter or at your hotel. it will list all the happy hours and what they offer. we have been to city cafe for the 2 for 1. i think karel's offers appetizers and cheap drinks. cactus blue has a good one too.

Two words: City Cafe !

I went with Cynde Lee a few years ago and they just kept bringing more and more beer... BEER WAS ON SALE !!! lol !!! But it was so fun and we were soooo happy when we left.....

Fabulous spot to watch the sunset, also.

Thank's for the info, as we like to say keep them coming!!! Jim And Roberta

i heard city cafe had to close for a few weeks after cynde and kelly left so they'd have time to restock the beer cooler....

Pat, alas, that would not surprise me. When Cynde sees this thread, maybe she'll post the picture of me being very happy. It's on my computer at work or I would post it.

LOL Pat...you are soooo right! I don't have that pic anymore on my work puter But, Kelly, I think it's in the trip report

Great Escape also has happy hour (it's South in Belnam). Nice quiet atmosphere under a palapa. It's from 5-7 daily I'm hoping Kevin stocks Hefeweisen

I can second Grasshopper's comments on the Great Escape. We stay at the Belmar - the Great Escape is right across the street.

Pat,
Kelly,
Grasshopper,
Marcus,
Thank you all again,for your suggestions. We will be arriving on Bonaire on May 6th,and will be staying in Belnam, Can't wait!!! And will have a few cold ones (well maybe more then a few)
(.: And be thinking of ya all, thanks again.

Hey Jim & Roberta,

I will give you a third "bottoms up" on The Great Escape Happy Hour.

BTW Kevin also serves up a good black bean soup.

I'm trying to remember to take his luvly wife a suduko book. I have bought several but it seems after I put it in my BBB (Bonaire Bound Box) it jumps out and I end up finishing the book! lol

Sorry, Grasshopper. 23 varieties on the beer rack today, but no Hefeweisen.

Kevin....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....I thought for sure if anyone had it you would. Do you have anything that is close????? (please...pretty please???)

I just remembered James and Roberta, Cactus Blue also has happy hour from 5-7 daily

Kevin did you get my email from last week.

Patrick: I accidentally sent the reply to "noreply@bonairetalk.com". You should have it now.

Grasshopper: I think that LaTrappe Witte Trappiste will be pretty close.

Kevin, I've replied to the "noreply@bonairetalk.com" too...lol...where is LaTrappe Witte Trappiste made?

All of the LaTrappe beers (Witte Trappiste, Dubbel, Tripel, and Quadrupel) are made in Holland by Trappiste monks. Most people think of them as Belgian beers because the Trappiste order originated in Belgium. Witte Trappiste is a relatively light beer, about 6% alcohol, which is bottled with the yeast still in the bottle. After a year, they will take some, filter it, and use it as the basis for Dubbel. After another year, they will take some Dubbel, filter it, and use it as the basis of Tripel. You can guess where Quadrupel comes from, I bet. Witte Trappiste is about the color of Budweiser, Dubel is dark brown, Tripel is orange, and Quadrupel is medium brown.

Sign me up Kevin! I'll try one of each! Mmmm....good beer.

I'll be on island in 2 days!!! I'll drag my wife in for a taste.

Kevin, thanks for the LaTrappe info and history;) It sounds like the Witte is the one for me...and the others for my husband who only likes beer you can't see light through...lol! Shane, report back please

Will do! I guess it's the least I can do! :-)
