    It is a nice pub with local crafted beer, the music is awesome (mostly rock but they throw some R&B or Hip Hop from time to time). They have quite a few options to eat. I tried the pizza, it has a thin, crispy crust. Very good. A beer jar will run you about $9 + Service. (Try the one called Chiriqui).

    The place is ok. Not a place I would go normally, since I'm not into beers. I guess the music was kind of loud for my taste. The food is ok, I just ordered some boneless chicken. The Buffalo sauce was good and spicy. Price is moderate.

    Really cool brewery with great tasting beers. Very helpful staff. If you are visiting this city, it is worth going here to sample their beers. Great experience all around.

    The beer was good! They offer the ability to buy a pitcher for $17 or a pint $5, which I found cool! Definitely recommend the IPA and Porter!

    Pepperoni pizza and hamburger were great! So are the fries with bacon and cheese

    Being from the US, I guess I am just not used to the slow service that seems to be standard here
  • 5/5 Federico R. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for a beer and stood for a couple of rums. Excellent place to spend a while. Close to Tocumen airport, just a block away from Cinta Costera highway.

  • 5/5 David K. 4 years ago on Google
    Typical brew pub with large patio area. Great place to get a beer and smoke a cigar. Just down the street from the Aloft and Sheridan hotels. Good service too.
  • 4/5 Ruben L. 7 years ago on Google
    Good local and microbrews worth trying. Also great music and ambiance.
  • 4/5 Michael A. 2 years ago on Google
    A few of their own brews along with a limited but nice selection of other Panamanian beers. Good food and service. Perhaps a little too much road noise but still a great place to lock back for a cold one.
  • 4/5 Carlos P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to hang out, only wish the beer was colder, other than that, great place

    The BLT with grilled chicken was great, loved the crunchy fries. Enjoyed the early 2000’s American music playlist. Great service. The server was concerned that I didn’t like the meal because I didn’t eat it all, but no! It was better than most chicken sandwiches I’ve had. The Bocas beer was tasty as well.

👍👍 Great Place as always. New in Panama so be prepared to wait a little for a table for the first few weeks. You can have as much garlic bread as you want and also with some dishes a never ending soup to go with it. Service is first class. Quality, freshness and taste is fantastic. You will enjoy it....

😐 It's a bit weird getting to this place. Atmosphere seems ok, if you like to go to places to have burgers and beer. The price is no cheap. The burger looks small in size, but the meat does make you full after having it. I don't think it is a good place for kids here.

👍👍 Really good experience. We had the tasting menu with pairing, which has 10 courses and each one comes with a different drink (beer, some types of wine, digestives, geisha coffee) and I can say it was worth it. My personal favorites were: sancocho, ceviche, langostinos and the strawberries & cream fr...
