Craft cocktails in Panama City
Planning craft cocktails in panama city? This guide takes you straight to what matters: where to go, what time, how to get in free on the list and what to expect. Spoiler: it starts at Q'Paso Ayer, Calle Uruguay.
Where to drink on Calle Uruguay
For drinks, Calle Uruguay in Bella Vista is Panama City's go-to: bars and cocktail spots packed into a few walkable blocks. Q'Paso Ayer pours proper cocktails from $7.50 and beers from $2.16, with food to share and a party that kicks off later.
Why Q'Paso Ayer
Q'Paso Ayer isn't just another bar — it's a meeting point right on Calle Uruguay. Casual shareable food (wings, burgers, nachos), games like beer pong and darts, well-poured drinks and a different lineup every night, Wednesday to Saturday. Every night has a reason, so there's always a vibe.
Cocktails, beer and happy hour
House cocktails — mojito, margarita, whisky sour and the signature Q'Paso Ayer — plus cold beers and shots for the table. Come early for the relaxed happy-hour vibe before the music turns up.
