Panama Bar & Cafe

One of my favorite bars in chico, their teas are to die for.

Wonderful service and great music. Will definitely come again

Always good. Famtastic staff & food. Never disappoints.

Wonderful alcoholic teas, you almost can't taste the alcohol!

Great variety of drings, super friendly service, best tots Ever!😊

Great drinks and creative menu!

Love this place! Never dissapoints! Great burgers and dangerous teas! The bartenders are always just awesome!!

Best club sandwich I've ever had! The daily teas are super tasty as well!

Always love their teas. We had friendly bartenders and good atmosphere to sit and socialize.

This place is a staple of downtown & has updated their brand translating to better drinks & better food! The atmosphere is amazing! From the outside patio dining to the living wall also the woodtop bar & tabletops. I believe the bartender & server name was Joseph whom was very informative, polite, professional & knows the story from before the update to the bar/building, the update in itself & the vision going forward for the bar/restaurant! The drink I had was so good that I forgot the name & the eats; I had Mac n Cheese (Simple I like) & tasty is what made it good! The pricing was not too expensive! Perhaps moderate?

I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Panama Bar Cafe. Most bar food usually kinda has the same type of food and taste but not here. This Bar has really really delicious Sandwiches!! I definitely recommend trying the Turkey Pesto (my favorite 😊) or the California Philly. My boyfriend tried the Inferno Burger and loved it as well.

There's a reason why they have 31 Long Island ice teas! It's because they KNOW how to make 'em right! I got the Texas tequila and it's deffinately a new favorite drink of mine. Not a sweet drinker, but for those looking for one, they have a tons of other sweet options. My hubby grabbed the Jamaican-pineapple & coconut. It was pretty good. This place also has a great eats! We ended up getting and recommending the following for future visits: -Monkey bread french toast with sausage -Chicken & Waffles with ham -Tri tip sandwich with Au jus dip

Seven of us went for a lovely Saturday brunch and it was FANTASTIC!! Ask Chef Kyle about his off-menu rolled omelet (chef's kiss)! We had ordered various entrees and all were superb! Not to mention the complimentary glass of champagne to wash it down with. We will definitely be back for the biscuits and gravy.

Great Bartendres Jenny and great chef Kyle. I think the owner needs to read his clientele better, too fancy is out and casual is in. Well done with the wait staff. Thank you for the good food, drink and hospitality. Fun times with the laughter. That humanity goes a long way. People make the bar and restaurant atmosphere and place to be, not fancy fixtures, walls, and paint. Thank you very much.

We had your food on Sat nite everything was yummy and awesome. My son and family live in Chico. We will be returning.

This is a must go To when you’re in Chico! They are famous for their teas but have plenty of other drink options. It’s small but it’s perfect. Music and a good atmosphere. You’re in Chico so plan for parking to be an adventure They is after certain hour

Friendly and fun place. The bartenders lightly and attentive. The food was also surprisingly wonderful and this is after eating there for the 3rd time! Cherry Bomb are Naturally THE Bomb at this place! Over all an entertaining and enjoyable place.

Hit up Colin, Dawnelle, Angela, Josh! All great people. VIP is worth it! Great staff. Great Dj's! Good music, amazing drinks. Get in there mid day for.some pub grim! Yum yum yum yum!!!!

This place never disappoints me! Their teas are delicious and the food is awesome! I got their beer battered veggies and they were to die for! So amazing! Highly recommend

I love The Panama Club !! The food is excellent, and Jenny and Kelly are the best waitresses ever, being super good to their customers and making sure they have everything they need and are good. Probably the best burgers in Chico here folks !!

Some of the best food in Chico. Drinks are good, food is well priced. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I always make a point to come here

Their bar staff are the friendliest in Chico! Drinks are reasonably priced and their selection of Long Island ice teas are up to 31....and they all rock!

I never had their food but I do enjoy starting my night here. Good drinks!

Love the price and selection of teas. Easy cover charge for dancing. That's all I need.

Delicious affordable drinks. Acceptable dance music. Great staff.

Cool little place. Fast service. Good music and atmosphere.

Had a wonderful lunch there today!!! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Really enjoy Panama's. With a high volume of alcoholic teas to choose from, it's a great pregame spot before heading into The Beach for some dancing.

First time here...love the service and drinks amazing..I just wish the music was better and decor needs love...brighter colors mabey...will be back for sure

Super casual bar, with cheap drinks on the menu, and a very good long island iced tea. Great for a night out on the town in Chico.

Panama's has been a local gay hangout on Wednesday nights for some time now, a fact that isn't widely advertised. Around 9PM on Wednesdays, Gay, lesbian, bi, trans and other folks tend to wander in here for a couple of drinks and socializing. Most people tend to migrate to the back room (out of street view) for the live DJ and dancing, but a few of us are in the front room where you can have a decent conversation. The scene is pretty mixed, but tends to be predominated by the younger college crowd. The staff are friendly and get to know the locals and regulars and their drinks. Food is only served until 9, so get there early if you want to eat. So far as I know, this is the only game in town for the GLBT crowd.

Reasonably priced drinks and food keeps Panamas in my rotation. The night-life is fun too, as you can access a back patio for dancing and smoking, and gain access to other bars, like The Beach.

Teas are cheap and taste like juice, but they get the job done. Awkward space to move around in.

If you get there early it can be a great hangout. After 10 when they start checking ID at the door it takes a turn for the worse because its attatched to the Beach and U Bar. Ive never eaten here but I hear the burgers are great. If you drink the Teas be prepared for a wicked headache the next day.

Use to be my favorite lunch stop until today. The cook decided to make what she wanted for out lunch today. Lost my business!

Horrible customer service. The bartender was rude. My wife and I went there early evening when the bar was practically empty. The bartender neither smiled nor greeted us when we entered. She never made any eye contact with either of us. She was behaving very snobby. Avoid this place.

Friends and I went in this morning to try this place out. The restaurant was busy but not packed. About half the seats in the restaurant we're filled. We ordered and didn't get our food for over an hour after ordering. After it finally arrived some of our food was cold and my meal had some stuff overcooked food and undercooked, what a strange mix of both issues. We debated if waiting for them to correct our food was worth it and decided they had taken too much of our time already for terrible food. We paid our bill and walked out disgusted and feeling like we were robbed. If you want good food don't bother waisting both your time and money here. If you want ok drinks this place is fine I guess. This review is being written to warn others.

The bartender was absolutely unprofessional. I went in to retrieve a phone that was left and I was on the phone with the phone owner and she repeatly told me that I was annoying her over just asking a few questions. Even though she knew the circumstances she told me to hang up my f-ing phone because "I was giving her a headache" I have never been there and will absolutely never return . And the staff there seemed to enjoy her rudeness and didn't do anything. She seemed to be high on something and very irritated over a phone that they told me to come get. It would of taken 5 minutes but instead I sat in my car for over an hour waiting for them to return it because "they had better things to do" . Disgraceful.

The bouncers are the most unorganized, inconsiderate "employees" there, who terribly fashion the lines of people wanting to get in. Waiting half an hour in line for the patio does NOT prioritize a person's access whatsoever; a group of 10 people can apparently walk up to the dark and long-ponytailed bouncer, schmooze with him a little, and be given immediate permission through, deliberately doubling the time it takes for the people in line to get through! Save yourself some trouble and patience by avoiding this facility. Any other place is better than this environment. Awful experience.

I had an order for DoorDash and when I went to the store, the order was not ready, they took a picture of the order information on my phone screen to prepare the order and prepared the order that way and I wasted extra time. A disinterested store.
