    Great place with a refreshing theme! I've been to many bars around the world, and this is by far my favorite concept for one. The owner (rarely do I ever get to meet the actual owner of a bar, so that was a amazing) took the time to ask me about what I liked in my drinks, and he created the most unique drinks I have ever had for me! They were really great, and the history of this place is so fascinating to learn about. If you are looking for a laid back vibe while trying the best new drinks, this place is for you!

    If you are in Casco Viejo, you must visit this place. Robert and Vanessa will treat you like a king. The drinks are exceptional and very affordable.

    Introduced to the pub by a friend. We made it to there and wow, it’s a really nice one, beautiful, punk themed, fantastic staff. It exceeded our expectations. It’s a must visit place if you are in Casco Viejo. They made us some really good cocktails.

    Beyond spectacular. I consult for high end bars for a living, and this is one of the best premium cocktail bars i have ever been to. My fiance and i spent three hours absolutely enthralled by the drinks and knowledge in the bar. And to say the service was impeccable would be an understatement. On of the staff even sat and translated a whole impromptu rum tasting for us. 10/10

    If you are looking for a unique experience where the drinks accommodate your mood and taste buds, where you can actually have conversation with your friends because the music is not blaring, where the ambiance is so intriguing and detailed, you just want to spend your time in it, where they offer bar food that just hits the spot, this is the bar for you. So happy my friend found this place and what a find. Ismayal, the mixologist is a genius (no joke). You just state your mood and he delivers. Talk to the owner. You will be fascinated with the history. Whether you are in Casco Viejo or at the other side of the city (like me), this place is a must visit. By far, the BEST bar in Panama and I don't say that lightly.

    Element is a very unique place. Miguel the bartender is very knowledgeable, personable and friendly. Drinks were spectacular. I would highly recommend it for visitors

    A must experience! Do not miss. Excellent cocktails. Alchemist baristas. Love the theme. Decoration for Halloween takes it to the next level. We. Will. Be. Back!

  • 5/5 asad s. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Absolutely the most amazing bar in Panama City. Gastro style drinks which compares to Aviary in Chicago. The staff are exceptional (Vanessa specifically) and the mixologist (Robert) knows his liquors. The ambiance is amazing and worth spending time here. U will love the decor and the vibe. Amazing and we will be back again.

    My wife and I together with our neighbor had a wonderful experience here. We decided to give ELEMENT a try as it was Carnaval period and Casco Viejo wasn't very packed for the weekend like it usually is. We were blown away by Miguel's mixologenius (nope..not a word..made that up). The atmosphere is welcoming. Our hostess Maria was very fluent in English and was very friendly and accommodating. I'm not a cocktail connoisseur...in fact not much of a cocktail drinker but the different ones we had was fantabulous! Reasonably priced as well. Highly recommended!!

  • 5/5 Eric H. 1 year ago on Google
    The best cocktails in Casco Viejo. Well good. The service is also very friendly. I'll be back.

  • 4/5 Elias C. 9 months ago on Google
    The bartenders are great mixologists that can prepare you unique and delicious cocktails. The decor is really interesting and appears to be based on steam punk featuring a rustic Tim Burton post apocalyptic Halloween design. Make sure to wear a helmet before you order a drink. We were asked to go see a light show before we left but the invite seemed kinda last minute sketchy so we decided to bounce.

  • 5/5 Tiffany P. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the most unique bar I've ever been to and I absolutely loved it! At first I was skeptical about the concept of crafting my own cocktail but they nailed it! You start off by naming your spirit (rum, vodka, whiskey, etc) then naming your flavour (sweet, bitter, sour, etc), exclude any allergies amd voilà! The bartenders use their creative inspiration to make a well crafted, well balanced cocktail using housemade syrups/juices/infused spirits! It is definitely an exercise in trust. One of the owners is also a bartender and he was amazing; he was our bartender all night and was very kind, friendly and clearly loves people and has a passion for the alchemy of cocktails. The steampunk decor is only outdone by the staff's steampunk attire. I would very highly recommend checking this bar out even just to try the offerings/ concept. I will definitely be coming back again!

  • 5/5 Justin H. 9 months ago on Google
    They really embrace the idea of mixology by encouraging the customer to suggest a flavor profile rather than choosing a drink off a list. This approach combined well with the bar’s steampunk decor to bring out my inner mad scientist.

  • 5/5 Jeannie L. 9 months ago on Google
    This bar was fantastic. The owner and bartender was so engaging, creative, and friendly. We had a blast and the drinks were so unique. The performances will always stand out in my mind and makes this bar a must visit.

  • 5/5 Leeann A. 1 year ago on Google
    Made it a point to come back here on my second trip to Panama City. Some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Friendly too. This time was great again.

  • 5/5 Ana Laura C. F. 8 months ago on Google
    This bar garantees the worth of the visit for City of Panama itself. René is a genius. He is a drink therapist, creating drinks on how a custumer feels like. Not to mention the high and unique quality of the drinks. It is my forever stopby in Panama. It is a true submarine.

  • 5/5 Jewel L. 8 months ago on Google
    Easily one of my favorite cocktail bars in the world. Had such a blast. They don't have a menu - instead I told Miguel (the amazing bartender in the picture) what I liked - whiskey, dark chocolates, spicy. Soooo good! He told me some of the ingredients: whiskey, house made chocolate, egg whites, vermouth, then sprayed with jalapeno infused mezcal. For my next drink, I said sake, fruit, summer, not too sweet or sour - he made it with sake, house made pear syrup, prosecco, herbs - another fantastic drink with no name, just for you, would surprise you in many ways. Even if you tell them the same key words, never the same drink twice. They make all sorts of bitters, syrups, sprays in house. The creativity doesn't stop. For someone who loves trying new things and cocktails, this is a must stop in Panama! Super fun decor as well!

  • 5/5 John S. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent bar. Visited twice during our stay, staff friendly and excellent mixologists - made each drink to our preferences, playfully mixed up flavors, loved the atmosphere and steampunk aesthetic. Make it a stop in your visit

  • 5/5 Scott W. 5 months ago on Google

    Fantastic Steampunk Bar with in house infusions. Definitely gotta get a time machine! Had a really great time with my buddies, and super accommodating staff 😄

  • 5/5 Hector V. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best bar in Panama, recomendado.

  • 5/5 Yousef A. 4 years ago on Google
    A truly spectacular bar for people that want to know and how to drink. Also for people that know what they like. Bar for people that like to relax and have a good time with family, friends, and more. Complex drink at good prices.

  • 5/5 Mel D. 4 years ago on Google
    Came here on a recommendation from someone living in Casco Viejo- I'm glad we did! Otherwise, we would have missed it walking by. Fun atmosphere, delicious and creative drinks, friendly and passionate staff. A must Try!

  • 4/5 Chetan C. 4 years ago on Google
    Too good cocktails the place to be if you live cocktails tailor made to your choice

  • 4/5 chetan c. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place for cocktails a rare place with house made mixes

  • 5/5 Carly G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent bar. Top notch mixology (try their house made infusions) and really cool steampunk theme. Not a detail was overlooked in this three level pub. There is plenty of bar seating on the first level, a small balcony and a second bar area on the second level and pool table on the third and even the option to dine outdoors if the weather is right. Met the owners and found out some neat stories about the history of the building. Sort of a speakeasy vibe with the interesting steampunk decor. Very close to Central and is in a good area so walking here feels safe and is conveniently located. Great staff, fun place to take photos and delicious crafted cocktails! Very reasonably priced too. Telling all my friends who visit to come here.

  • 5/5 Marcella D. 4 years ago on Google
    The most unique bar in all of Casco Viejo, Panama, a must visit for anyone wanting to experience something different, with a vibe like no other, surreal ambience, and eclectic, original drinks. We highly recommend, don't miss it!

  • 5/5 DROZ N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good drink, very diferente and exotics drink, that you can't have in other bar' and very fresh food.

  • 5/5 Melanie s. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly excellent cocktail experience here. Miguel is a genius behind the bar and will craft you completely bespoke drinks based on your taste preferences. I was very impressed. Not to mention it was lovely hanging out and chatting with the staff and the decor is very interesting as well. Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on Element. Only downside is prices are akin to New York cocktails but you're getting excellence.

  • 5/5 Susan J. 1 year ago on Google
    Seriously the best cocktail I have had. Not just in Panama but the world. We will be coming back to Panama just to go here.

  • 5/5 Erik L. 1 year ago on Google

    Amazing cocktail experience at this bar with very creative drinks. The staff were very knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. The theme of the bar was very unique, as were the drinks that they made. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Zeshan H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best bar we have been to in Panama!! Miguel made us the best cocktails in the world!! Honestly if you like any drink this is the place to visit!!

  • 5/5 Michał C. 1 year ago on Google
    Unique and interesting place. If steampunk is your jam you must visit the place. Quite a lot of thought went into decor and concept of the place, rather than standard menu the bartenders will tend to you one on one and prepare drinks based on what you like/dislike. For that reason be prepared to pay a premium, this is not a cheap watering hole. Not a place you'd visit every day, buy definitely makes for an interesting experiences.

  • 5/5 Gregory M. 1 year ago on Google
    I honestly never give reviews. But this place deserves a 5 star review. An absolute gem, with friendly people and amazing drinks. Not to mention the well executed steam punk vibe. I'd give them more stars if I could.

  • 5/5 Saad M. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    This is an absolute gem. The moment you enter the place you realize that the ambience is stunning, it has a gorgeous speakeasy feel with a nautical theme. The service is just too good, Vanessa is lovely, explained the whole idea behind the place and Robert is a great myxologist. They create stunning cocktails based on your preference with top shelf ingredients. If you like your cocktails please go there

👍👍 This place is great. Our server Dante was perfect. He recommended the popcorn chicken Mac & Cheese & it was ‘sooo’ good. The chicken is crispy, covered in cheese with the macaroni underneath. Every bite was sensational. The quesadilla is a must. It has fried chicken, fries & some ‘flavorful’ sauce...

👍 The place was dark, the crowd was young. At the time some of the food selections were not available mostly reggaeton and reggae music. Reservations are a must. The food was good and well seasoned.
