La Pulpería: Casco Antiguo: Casual but polished corner spot with good cocktails and a menu that runs from mussels and octopus to Latin fusion plates, which keeps your seafood fix in play without feeling like a formal restaurant. It is easy to drop in for a round of drinks and shared plates between rooftop stops or before wandering the plazas.

Corcho: Cozy wine bar in Casco with a simple but thoughtful menu of Spanish/European plates, ideal for a quieter evening or a pre-rooftop warmup. The intimate feel and focus on wine make it a nice counterpoint to the louder rooftop bars and a good place to actually talk with your friends.

Lazotea Jorge Rausch: Restaurant & Rooftop (Hotel Casa Panamá): Stylish rooftop with pool-side vibes, skyline and bay views, and a menu that leans into Latin–Asian fusion like lobster tacos and seafood-forward small plates, which fits your love of fresh fish. Cocktails are creative without being fussy, and it works well for a full dinner with friends followed by lingering over drinks under the lights.

Tantalo Kitchen & Roofbar: One of Casco’s classics, with a lively rooftop that looks across the old town roofs toward the modern skyline and a downstairs restaurant built around shareable, globally influenced plates, including seafood and veggie-friendly options. The vibe skews energetic and social, so it is a fun spot if your group wants a buzzier atmosphere and maybe to stay on for DJ sets later in the night.

Casacasco: Multi-level space with a rooftop bar and a food lineup mixing Panamanian, Caribbean, Japanese, and Italian—think sushi next to empanadas and ceviche—so everyone in your group finds something interesting. The rooftop has strong city views and a party-leaning feel late, so it is great if you want a more nightlife-forward stop after dinner.
