Kitchen hours

Q'Paso Ayer's kitchen is open Wednesday to Saturday, 6:00 pm to 3:00 am. That means you can eat from the early after-work hours all the way to the small hours, no rush — perfect for dinner before you go out or a craving after the dance floor.

Eating at Q'Paso Ayer isn't just any dinner: you're in the heart of Calle Uruguay, with music, atmosphere and the party about to start. Dinner and night out in one place, no transfers.

What to order at Q'Paso Ayer

To nail the order: start with something to pick at (mini empanadas, tequeños or wings), move to a shareable main like the skirt steak or the tortillas, and pair it with house cocktails from $7.50. In a group, the Wings Platter (30 wings, three sauces) is the table's star.

Dinner before the party

The plan that never fails on Calle Uruguay: arrive, share some food, have a couple of drinks and, when the group gets going, you're already where the party will be. Eating well before you go out makes the night last longer.

The area: Calle Uruguay, Bella Vista

Calle Uruguay is in Bella Vista, minutes from the Banking Area and from Panama City's main hotels and hostels. It's the easiest zone for a night out with no long transfers — everything is walkable and Uber/taxi are right there.
