Where To Get The Best Margaritas In Panama City

Panama knows a thing or two about how to make and how to enjoy a great margarita. Here is a list of some of the places to go for the best margaritas in Panama City.

1. Casa Casco

With three restaurants, a nightclub, and a gorgeous rooftop overlooking the historic district, Casa Casco is a favorite among locals and travelers.

2. 360 Rooftop

Bar, Restaurant, Beer, Wine, Cocktails, Pub Grub

The truth is in the name of this recent addition to Casco Viejo’s collection of rooftop bars—360-degree views of the city. Pair the exceptional views with a two-for-one happy hour from 5–8 p.m. to get the evening underway.

3. Tantalo Rooftop Bar

At the top of an artsy boutique hotel and popular restaurant is a favorite rooftop lounge that draws crowds of locals and travelers.

This incredibly unique bar boasts an underground, open-roof bar inside of the ever-popular hostel Luna’s Castle. Always booming with locals and backpackers, Relic recently opened a VIP lounge upstairs, too. With both indoor and outdoor seating, this Casco staple is a must-visit when in Panama.
