Things to do at night in Panama City

Let's talk things to do at night in panama city, no fluff. Panama City's scene is concentrated in Bella Vista, and Q'Paso Ayer (Calle Uruguay) has become the place to kick off: eat something, play a round and stay for the best part.

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.
