Panama City Beach Area Nightlife

Anything goes in Panama City’s famously raucous after-hours scene. Live bands, Vegas-style revues, and celebrity impersonators keep the dance floors rocking until the wee hours of the morning. Popular with college students and dancing fools of all ages, the city’s clubs prize their disco balls and drink specials. For a break from all the spectacle, a more sedate cocktail scene is available at several harbor-side restaurants.
