The experience
What is The Panama Barcrawl?
The Panama Barcrawl is a Panama City nightlife company running hosted bar crawls in Casco Viejo since 2017. Our public experience is The OG Crawl, and we also plan private nights for groups and celebrations.
We handle the hosting, introductions, route, timing and venue transitions so the night runs smoothly.
What is The OG Crawl?
The OG Crawl is a hosted bar crawl through five bars and clubs in Casco Viejo, with five drinks included and professional hosts who keep the group together all night.
It was built with Black travelers in mind and welcomes respectful guests from around the world. Come solo, as a couple or with friends.
How is it different from going out on my own?
You don't have to research venues, plan a route, deal with different door policies or convince your group where to go next.
Our hosts guide every transition, introduce guests and keep the night moving, so you get a planned night out and a group to enjoy it with.
Is The OG Crawl good for solo travelers?
Yes. Solo travelers are a big part of every crawl. Our hosts make introductions early and bring the group together, so you don't spend the night out alone. See what solo travelers say on our reviews page.
Couples and friend groups are welcome too.
Is The OG Crawl only for Black travelers?
No. The experience was built with Black travelers in mind, including the music, hosting and social atmosphere. We welcome respectful guests from around the world who enjoy the culture and follow the group standards.
What music do you play?
Expect Afrobeats, hip-hop, rap, dancehall and amapiano. The music changes from venue to venue and night to night. We pick venues for energy and flow, but we can't guarantee specific songs, DJs or genres at every stop.

When and where
Where does The OG Crawl take place?
In Casco Viejo, Panama City's historic old town and one of its main nightlife districts. The route is on foot between venues.
What days and time does it run?
The OG Crawl runs Wednesday through Saturday, with check-in for an 8:00 PM start. Check the booking calendar for availability, since dates can sell out.
How long does it last?
About four hours. The hosted part usually finishes around midnight, and you can keep the night going afterward if you like.
Where is the meeting point?
We send the meeting point on the day of your crawl by WhatsApp or email. Check your messages before you head out.
Do you visit the same venues every night?
Not always. We choose the five venues each night based on music, crowd and how the venues are running, so you get the best night available in Casco Viejo.
What if I arrive late?
Message us right away using the contact details in your confirmation. The group moves between venues, so arriving late can mean missing check-in, part of the route or an included drink. We can't guarantee late guests will be able to find or join the group.
What happens if it rains?
The OG Crawl runs rain or shine. The experience happens inside bars and clubs, and we provide ponchos for the short walks between venues. Rain isn't a reason for a refund, but if severe weather ever stops us from running the crawl, you can choose a new date, store credit or a full refund.
Before you go
How old do I need to be?
Guests must be 18 or older with a valid photo ID. Each venue makes the final decision on ID and entry.
What ID should I bring?
Bring an original, valid government-issued photo ID, such as a passport or driver's license. Venues might not accept a photo or copy of your ID.
If you'd rather not carry your passport, bring another original government photo ID.
What should I wear?
Dress for a night out, with comfortable shoes for walking and dancing. Avoid beachwear, athletic wear and flip-flops, since venues can refuse entry based on their dress codes.
What should I bring?
- An original government-issued photo ID.
- A charged phone.
- Your booking confirmation.
- A card or cash for food, extra drinks or gratuities.
- Comfortable shoes you can dance in.
Keep valuables to a minimum and watch your belongings during the night.
Safety and accessibility
Is The OG Crawl safe?
The OG Crawl is a hosted, organized group experience. Our team manages the route, keeps the group together and shares expectations throughout the night.
No nightlife activity is completely risk-free. Stay with the group, watch your drink and belongings, drink responsibly and follow guidance from your hosts and venue security.
What behavior is expected from guests?
We keep the group welcoming and respectful. Aggressive, discriminatory, threatening, sexually inappropriate or disruptive behavior is not accepted, and guests who affect the safety or experience of the group may be removed without a refund.
Is the crawl accessible for guests with mobility needs?
The crawl involves walking through Casco Viejo and visiting independent venues with different layouts. Before booking, email tours@panamabarcrawl.com with your needs and we'll explain the current route and what we can accommodate.
