Friday night in Panama City

Planning friday night 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.

The best weekend plan

Friday and Saturday are the big days on Calle Uruguay. The plan that never fails: shareable dinner around 8-9, games to warm up, and a DJ party from midnight onward — all at Q'Paso Ayer, without changing venues.

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, Tuesday to Sunday. Every night has a reason, so there's always a vibe.

Friday vs Saturday

Friday kicks off with after-work and a good early vibe; Saturday is 100% party and usually busier. Sunday brings more relaxed plans. For any of the three, joining the list ahead gets you free entry.
