About The Panama Barcrawl®
What is The Panama Barcrawl®?
The Panama Barcrawl® is a Panama City nightlife brand operated by BEYOA since 2017.
We specialize in hosted, curated nightlife experiences in Casco Viejo. Our flagship public experience is The OG Crawl, and we also create private nightlife experiences customized for groups and celebrations.
Our work goes beyond choosing popular bars. We manage the hosting, group introductions, route, timing, venue transitions, and overall flow of the night.
What is The OG Crawl?
The OG Crawl is a hosted social nightlife experience through five bars and clubs in Casco Viejo.
Built with Black travelers in mind and welcoming respectful guests from around the world, the experience combines Afro-vibes music, high-energy hosting, included drinks, and a social group that comes together quickly.
Come solo, as a couple, or with friends. Our hosts help make introductions and keep the crew connected throughout the night.
What is the difference between The OG Crawl and The Luxe Crawl?
Both experiences are curated by The Panama Barcrawl®, but they offer different ways to enjoy Panama City nightlife.
The OG Crawl is our signature social nightlife experience. It includes five Casco Viejo bars and clubs, five included drinks, high-energy hosts, and a lively group atmosphere designed for meeting people. It is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and friends who want an instant crew and a full night of dancing and connection.
The Luxe Crawl offers a smaller, more premium format. It includes three curated stops, premium cocktails, and approximately three hours of hosted nightlife. A minimum of three guests is required, making it a strong choice for couples and small groups looking for a more intimate cocktail-focused experience.
Choose The OG Crawl for more venues, group energy, and social connection. Choose The Luxe Crawl for fewer stops, premium cocktails, and a more intimate pace.
How is The OG Crawl different from going out on my own?
You do not have to research venues, figure out the route, manage different door policies, or convince your group where to go next.
Our hosts organize the experience, guide the transitions, introduce guests, and keep the night moving. You get a curated night out and an instant social circle instead of navigating Panama City nightlife alone.

Location, Schedule and Meeting Information
Where does The OG Crawl take place?
The OG Crawl takes place in Casco Viejo, Panama City’s historic Old Town and one of the city’s main nightlife districts.
The specific venues and route can change based on the night, music, crowd, venue operations, and overall flow.
What days does The OG Crawl operate?
The OG Crawl is currently available from Wednesday through Saturday.
Always confirm availability through the booking calendar, as dates can sell out or change.
What time does the crawl begin?
Check-in begins for an 8:00 PM start.
Arrive on time so you do not miss introductions, important information, the first venue, or your first included drink.
How long does the experience last?
The hosted portion normally lasts approximately four hours or longer.
The official experience may finish around midnight, but guests can choose whether to continue their night afterward.
Where is the meeting point?
The meeting-point details are sent on the day of your crawl through WhatsApp or email.
Enter the correct phone number and email address when booking, and check your messages before leaving for the experience.
Is The OG Crawl a walking experience?
Yes. The route between venues is completed on foot within Casco Viejo.
Wear comfortable shoes that are appropriate for both walking and nightlife venues. Transportation to and from the meeting point is not included with the standard ticket.
Do you visit the same venues every night?
Not necessarily.
Our team selects the route based on venue operations, music, atmosphere, crowd, and flow. The experience includes five venues, but specific bar and club names can change.
That flexibility helps us create the strongest available night instead of following the same route regardless of what is happening in Casco Viejo.
Guests, Music and Drinks
Is The OG Crawl good for solo travelers?
Yes. Solo travelers are a major part of The OG Crawl.
Our hosts help make introductions and bring the group together early, so you do not have to spend the night standing alone or trying to meet people without support.
Couples and existing friend groups are welcome too.
Is The OG Crawl specifically for Black travelers?
The experience was deliberately built with Black travelers in mind, including the music, hosting, social environment, and flow of the night.
We welcome respectful guests from around the world who appreciate the culture, follow the group standards, and contribute positively to the experience.
What music can I expect?
Expect a mix that can include:
Afrobeats
Hip-hop
Rap
Dancehall
Reggaeton
Amapiano
Global party music
Music differs between venues and can change from one night to another. We curate for energy and flow, but we cannot guarantee specific songs, DJs, or genres at every stop.
Can I join if I do not drink alcohol?
Yes.
Soft drinks are available as alternatives to the included alcoholic drinks at participating venues. Tell your host during check-in that you would prefer non-alcoholic options.
You can still participate fully in the social experience.
Age, Clothing and Guest Preparation
How old do I need to be?
Guests must be 18 or older.
Every guest should bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Individual venues make the final decision regarding acceptable identification and entry.
What identification should I bring?
Bring an original, valid government-issued photo ID, such as a passport or driver’s license.
Do not rely solely on a photograph or copy of your identification, because individual venues might not accept it.
What should I wear?
Dress for a night out in Panama City while choosing comfortable shoes for walking and dancing.
Avoid beachwear, athletic clothing, flip-flops, and anything that might conflict with nightclub dress requirements. Entry remains subject to each venue’s dress code.
What should I bring?
Bring:
Valid government-issued photo identification
A charged phone
Your booking confirmation
A card or cash for food, extra drinks, or gratuities
Comfortable nightlife-appropriate shoes
Good energy and respect for the crew
Keep valuables to a minimum and watch your personal belongings throughout the night.
Safety and Accessibility
Is The OG Crawl safe for solo travelers?
The OG Crawl is a hosted, organized group experience. Our team manages the route, keeps the group connected, and communicates expectations throughout the night.
However, no nightlife activity or destination can be described as completely risk-free. Stay with the group, monitor your drinks, protect your belongings, drink responsibly, and follow guidance from your hosts and venue security.
What behavior is expected from guests?
We protect a welcoming and respectful group environment.
Aggressive, discriminatory, threatening, sexually inappropriate, or disruptive behavior is not accepted. Guests who negatively affect the safety or experience of the group may be removed without a refund.
Is the experience accessible for guests with mobility needs?
The experience involves walking through Casco Viejo and visiting independently operated venues with different layouts and accessibility conditions.
Before booking, email tours@panamabarcrawl.com with your accessibility needs. Our team can explain the current route requirements and determine what accommodations may be possible.
Changes, Weather and Late Arrivals
What happens if I arrive late?
Contact the team immediately using the information in your booking confirmation.
Because the group moves between venues, late arrival can result in missing check-in, part of the experience, or an included drink. We cannot guarantee that late guests will be able to locate or enter the group after departure.
What happens if it rains?
The OG Crawl normally operates rain or shine.
If weather or local conditions require a significant operational change, our team will contact booked guests using the phone number or email address provided during checkout.
