    a Really cool pub in a classy environment setup! Had great service and the food was good. It's a great place to meet up with friends and chat the night away over a few local La Rana Draft Beers! I will be back!

    $3 happy hour pints, enough said. I heard the vegetarian pizza is good, but we opted for a quick cheese quesadilla which came with some funny queso drizzle. I didn't hate it. But prefer this place for the happy hour and friendly staff. Interesting international crowd, nice place to meet new friends over some great local craft brews.

    The rhum is good, but the Panamian cider was not the best. Nice place to have a drink between friends or to go for a date.

    Amazing beers. Especially the IPA. Get in before 4PM for happy hour. Their Margarita pizza is to die for. Thin and perfect crust.

    Delicious beer!! Nice ambience, good service. The pizza is excellent! My spouse had the tacos (one mushroom, one shrimp, one chicken) they were so-so and he definitely preferred my pizza.

    Beutiful peaceful brewery to get some food fresh beer. The staff will let you relax and do your own thing. They also offer free WiFi and free samples of all the beer... Great way to spend the evening before hitting the nightclubs on the next street

    Super awesome microbrewery. Beers are tasty. Happy hour makes for good prices ($3.50 for a pint). Love the ambiance. Definitely check it out!

    Had their burger of the week and it was delicious! Our waitress was also so polite, helpful and eager to tell us all about the restraints history. This restaurant is well priced compared to other places in Casco, would definitely recommend.

    Nice upscale bar in Casco Antiguo with a selection of local brews. There was a mix of locals and tourists. Pricey though, one beer was $8 with tax and tip.

    Great experience being here. There was plenty of selection of beer, and everything tasted so good. While the staff was a little slow at times, the service was still really helpful. It is in a great location and is worth the visit. If you are in the city, it is a worthwhile place to go.

  • 5/5 George S. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect hang out spot in casco with a great selection of craft beers and food!

  • 5/5 Frank Lumpkin, I. 5 months ago on Google
    My favorite thing about visiting a new region, or a new brewery for that matter, I love getting a taste of their favorite local beers. La Rana Dorado is awesome in that they literally give you a “boat load” of sample beers to try (8 to be exact) in their complimentary flight. They don’t give you much in each pour, but it’s enough to know exactly what you want to have a full glass of. I LOVE this concept! More places should follow this trend. Excellent brewery, excellent atmosphere, excellent service. Check them out when you’re in the Old Town!

  • 4/5 Matt M. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice place for drinks in old town. Fun ambiance with comfy chairs and low tables, or upstairs regular tables. Beer selection is good, we tried them all over the few times we visited during our week in Panama. Service is good and they accept cash or cards. Only had the fries to snack on but hey we're great. Thick big potato fries, nice and crispy outside and fluffy inside.

    I loved this exposed brick, elevated artisanal brewery! I didn’t get a chance to try all of their beer offerings, however they had an excellent variety of local brews accompanied with a tasty meal! I enjoyed the chicken wrap served with plantain chips. Would come back!

  • 5/5 Carlos Alberto A. 9 months ago on Google
    What an amazing place. I loved the history behind the house and how well they are keeping it. The pizza is kind-blowing and what can I say about the beer? The best beers of Panamá are definitely from La Rana Dorada. The second floor has a amazing vibe and a great couch. Must do while in Panamá City.

  • 5/5 Ercan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Discovered here in last two days, and loved it. A craft beer pub, with amazing vegan pizza. A proper pub and a must to go place

    First food stop while in Panama and it hit the spot! Staff was very friendly, food was delicious and we loved our cocktails!

  • 4/5 Yessica M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Carlos A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosfere. Recommend the caipirinhas.

  • 5/5 Ray G. 11 months ago on Google
    A superior craft beer experience in Panama. We had tried their beers at other places in Panama City and decided to go to the source on a bustling Saturday night. Sat at the bar which had great service. Tried 4 or 5 different beers, all top notch. Even their Pilsner is great, which is always a good indication that the brewers know what they're doing. We grabbed a few to-go beers to take back to our resort. Highly recommend a stop if you're in the city and love craft beer.

    Great location and beautiful interior. Was fairly quiet and service was really slow and it was hard to get the staffs attention. Table wasn't cleared for ages, eventually staff were not busy. When did arrived it was just about warm...

  • 4/5 Lu T. 1 year ago on Google
    We were there right when the restaurant opened for lunch. The food and drink are well made. The atmosphere is great n relaxing since there weren't not many people around when we were there. Will definitely go back there and try more beers which are also available at the supermarket.

  • 5/5 Sammy V. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cute brewery/pub. Make sure you ask for the sampler of beer so you can pick the one you want! Food was delicious too!

  • 5/5 Jon G. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little brewpub in the heart of the Casco Viejo. Great beer and decent food! I went there 3 times while in Panama City for a week. And for someone who lives in one of the best beer cities in the world (Portland), I can safely say this pub has quality beers. I'll definitely go there the next time I'm in Panama.

    Great atmosphere, great beverages

  • 5/5 Sofia Araiza (. 1 year ago on Google
    The food, the ambiance, the area, the service… all 10/10. All the food we ordered was delicious, also the fact that they let you taste the different crafted beers they have if you’re new to the place with no charge is absolutely great and impressive! Would totally recommend eating here or just to sit and enjoy beers. Also, they sell some pretty sick t-shirts! 😎

  • 4/5 Jose M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice spot to go and try beer, they gave me a mini sample of every beer they had on draft.

  • 5/5 Edin Chavez (. 2 years ago on Google
    My Favorite beer in Panama, and my favorite bar. La Rana is a really fun place with really good beer. Try the chicken wings, they are delicious 🤤

  • 5/5 John H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good brewery in Old Town. Very nice air conditioned inside with ample room in a rustic wood setting. Great happy hour prices too

  • 5/5 Joshua K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service. Amazing decor. I tried all the beers. They are okay, nothing that I could really enjoy. Drink prices look a little high. The design of the place is really nice though.

  • 5/5 Rob W. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice vibe with 6 locally brewed beers. Pizza neapolitan style thin and fairly authentic. Super place for an 8 person group or maybe more.

👍👍 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...

😠 Simply the worst service I have encountered in Panama City - which typically is known for warm friendly service. We booked a reservation for the terrace and from the moment we arrived, although we were some of the only customers in the entire restaurant, we were simply ignored by the staff, who sat...

👍👍 While out exploring we stumbled upon this cute Cuban themed rum bar in the middle of Old Town. They have an incredible happy hour - $5 mojitos! It’s the perfect spot for a drink and a snack while exploring the city. The interior is gorgeously decorated and the service was great.
