Nightlife in Panama City
When the sun goes down, Panama City Beach is just getting started! Be dazzled by the hopping after-dark excitement that includes a glittering variety of tiki lounges, dance clubs, wine bars, jazz venues, karaoke spots, and more. The word boredom will never come to mind during your stay in this incredible hotspot.
However you enjoy spending your after-dark hours, you will always be entertained in Panama City Beach. Listen to the ceremonial cannon blast each day at dusk from Schooner’s Local Beach Club, relax on a patio and watch fishing boats unload as the sun sets outside Captain Anderson’s Restaurant, or line dance to live country western at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge.
Here are some great after-hours options:
Pineapple Willy's is an adventurous place with its own sheltered wooden pier jutting over the sand offering great gulf-view dining and a fun bar. It is famed for its house special, slow-cooked Jack Daniels barbecue ribs by the pound. |
Karaoke's popularity here rivals Japan. Between enjoying other great activities and fantastic food, you can belt out tunes every night at Big Kahuna. |
Eat, drink, and be “Harry” at Harpoon Harry’s! It's the coolest beach bar and waterfront restaurant on the planet. Harry prides himself on offering a friendly, casual atmosphere with an open-air back deck perfect for dancing the night away. Awesome beach music and oldies on the back deck nightly. |
Billing itself as the "last local beach club" (and they may well be right), some great bands fill the dance floor at this timber-frame place that sits in the shadow of soaring condos. There's also an excellent, well-patronized restaurant. |
Club La Vela, one of the two mega nightclubs in town and allegedly the largest club in the US, has themed room after themed room and a techno bent. Popular with party-going patrons for its jam-packed, high-energy atmosphere. |
The orginal Tootsie's is in Nashville and features nightly country music entertainment. This a huge honky tonk a couple blocks off the beach. With its big dance floor and plenty of people ready to party, come check out the great country music and atmosphere. |
