Where to start drinking in Panama City
Where to start drinking in Panama City comes down to choosing where to start. In Panama City that place is Calle Uruguay, and Q'Paso Ayer is the perfect launch — Wednesday to Saturday something is always on.
Drinks then dancing, same spot
Start with drinks and a bite, and when the group gets going you're already where the party will be. No need to move: the same table that held your cocktails is your base for the dance floor.
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.
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.
