From a Doors tribute band (Ok, that was a complete accident), to Swing nights, to sketch comedy, this place doesn't discriminate.\n\nSheltered downtown between Charleston and Oakey, the Aruba is the type of place you probably won't end up at unless you know it's there. The parking lot drives me crazy, especially when it's busy. Inside, the place is pretty darn big. The decor leaves a little to be desired (boo, silk plants), but you have a couple different stage areas suitable for bands, theatre troupes, etc. The bar is comfy and service quick with fair prices. It's definitely a good place to see a band, have a twirl on their decent dance floor, or catch some theatre."^^ . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
