La Pulpería - Casco Antiguo

Bar

👍👍 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...

La Bárbara

Cocktail bar

👍👍 Truly a hidden gem in Panama with the best Sushi in the city. The restaurant has excellent decoration and service. We ordered a few different things which were all fresh and delicious but our favourite by far the Tuna roll (w/ Cucumber). Would love to come here again. Thank you!

Alejandro's

Bar

👍👍 What a great vibe!! My boyfriend and I came to Panama City from NYC. Alejandro’s was walking distance from our hotel (RIU) so we decided to check it out. I must say after our first night here we kept coming back every single night. No matter where we went we always stopped in at Alejandro’s before w...

Element

Bar

👍👍 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 uni...

MANGLE

Bar

👍 If you are staying in the area, this is a great spot to visit. Staff is courteous, music is great and it’s a favorite with young & vibrant locals (not just tourists) Tried the sparkling rose, Puerto Escondido cocktail and the veggie dumplings which were all quite tasty and enjoyable!

Restaurante Siete Mares

Seafood restaurant

🫤 Over priced and pretentious. 85usd each in a country where fish is cheaper than beef is questionable. Service and wine list also trembling. Better places around

El Patio Human Friendly

Dog park

🫤 Too full. A dog bit mine (mine was on a leash). Owner didn't even care. No appologies. NEVER EVER taking my dog here again. Plenty other places to go, with a much nicer atmosphere

Restaurante Le Bistrot

Restaurant

👍 We had just landed from Bocas del Toro, dropped our bags off at our hotel and went to the nearest restaurant that I found pretty good reviews about. Luckily we were able to find one within a few feet of our hotel. We started with two appetizers, Chicharrón de Cerdo (Pork Rind) and Coquille St. Jacq...

Sama Sky Lounge

Cocktail bar

👍👍 The space, the view, the food, the music, the craft cocktails. Easily one of the best, if not the best, experience in Casco Antiguo.

CasaCasco

Bar & grill

👍👍 Really nice place. Highly recommended to eat or have a drink if you are around Casco Viejo. It has different floors with restaurants and a rooftop bar. Good drinks and cool atmosphere. You also get amazinf views of the city.

Amano Bar

Bar

😠 Good attention, the servers are friendly and fast. But the place does not respect the rules of not smoking. Openly allows the consumption of cigarettes.

Santé Panamá

Inedito Rooftop Lounge

Bar

😠 Nice view and structure. Very bad service/staff that won't serve you if you go solo. They only wait on group$.

4.30 (307 reviews) (~1.63 km from centre)

El Viejo Santana

Dance restaurant

😠 The security guards at this place are racist towards people of color. Do not go to this place, there are better places in Panama.

Wall Street Bar and Kitchen

Cocktail bar

😠 They play with the work of others... My company performed services on their air conditioners and they never paid me the amount of the invoice. It was three months ago; They stopped responding to me until I went to the store several times and they never gave me a response about my payment.
