Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
(Calle Uruguay, Bella Vista; from 9pm Tue & Thu-Sat)
Pronounced 'seis' (as in the number
'six'), this club caters to
miembros del club,
aka the beautiful people. There's a fine se-
lection of electronic music worthy of the megaclub scene but with a more intimate and
loungy vibe.
Cayucos
CAFE
(Causeway)
Located on the Causeway, this open-air resto-bar sits on the water with excel-
lent views of the city. While not exactly a bar, it's the perfect ambiance for the first cold
beer of the evening or a leisurely drink on the weekend.
El Pavo Real
PUB
(Vía Argentina, Bella Vista; noon-midnight Mon-Sat)
A mix of Panamanians and expats
gather over games of darts or pool at this British pub-restaurant. The old location was
made famous by John le Carré's thriller
The Tailor of Panama
but pub grub continues to
satisfy and there's occasional live music.
Wine Bar
JAZZ
(Av Eusebio A Morales)
With more than 200 wine selections from around the globe on offer,
this is the spot to leisurely share a bottle, with a selection of soft, blue and hard cheeses.
Live jazz starts at 9pm most nights of the week.
Li-Bar
LOUNGE
(Calle 76 Este, San Francisco)
Cold as a meat locker, this upscale lounge is popular with
30-something Panamanians. It is more chill than other spots, but clubbers still come
dolled up to the nines.
Lum's
PUB
( 317-6303; Bldg 340, Corozal Oeste off Carretera Diablo, Ancón; mains US$6-12; from 11am
Mon-Sat)
Occupying an old cavernous hangar that once housed machinery for the Panama
Canal, Lum's is an expat hangout of choice. Satellite TV, pool table, foosball and a hand-
ful of tap beers pack in the crowds on weekends. The menu is heavy on ribs, steak and
other grilled mains. It's located in Ancón on the edge of the canal.
