Rooftop bars in Panama City

Planning rooftop bars 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.

What vibe are you after

Chill drink and conversation, or dance floor and reggaeton? On Calle Uruguay you'll find both a couple of doors apart. Q'Paso Ayer settles it with a format that shifts by the hour: relaxed for dinner, lively for games, full party to close.

Why Q'Paso Ayer

What makes Q'Paso Ayer special is the all-in-one format: eat, play and end up partying without changing venues. It's in Calle Uruguay (Bella Vista), with Latin and urban music and energy that builds as the night goes on. Great for groups, couples and solo travelers looking for atmosphere.

Midweek has plans too

No need to wait for Saturday. Tuesday to Sunday there's programming: college Thursdays, Friday after-work and weekend themes. Midweek usually means shorter lines and better tables.
