La Bárbara

The craft that went into my cocktail, unagi roll, miso soup, and mango sticky rice was incredible. The bartender was really on his game and kept me good company. The atmosphere was wonderful. Vegan and vegetarian options and hot food (not just sushi) as well.

I generally hate Italian food. This turned me out 180 degrees.
Fodd was delicious/outstanding!!!!
Service was seamless.
More delicious that any place I eat in Italy.

The food was amazing. Everything we had was very good. We had two vegans with us and they had lots of options to pick from. The cocktails were also very delicious. The atmosphere was very romantic. It is located in the same building as a hair salon. We would come back and we recommend trying it! You can make reservations online. It was busy for a Wednesday night.

Our best meal on our month long trip. We loved it! The shrimp tempura sushi was amazing and the service was excellent. Would absolutely recommend!

What a fantastic hidden gem of a bar! Beautifully crafted cocktails – some of the best I’ve ever tasted - cool contemporary interior and amazing friendly staff – it’s perfect! The only downside was that we discovered it right at the end of our Panama City stay so didn’t have time to sample everything on the menu! Go now before you can’t get in!

This was one of my favorite spots to eat on our trip to Panama City. The staff were fabulous and the whole vibe was perfect. Every roll and drink were beyond excellent. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

This place is an awesome hidden gem. Tucked away behind the store front of a Barber Shop is this incredible cosy lounge. You’d hardly know it is there. Remarkable craft cocktails and incredible sushi. I would recommend a visit here without hesitation and can’t wait to go back. The service was excellent and one of the owners was hanging out to make sure everything was on point and made the conversation inclusive. Not to be missed!

Cozy, beautiful, and delicious. I felt like I found a sweet little secret spot in that beautiful area of Casco Viejo. A total gem with outstanding food and drink. I love splurging here and enjoying expensive fancy cocktails and food. It feels like I'm supporting a small business that works hard to create a unique and authentic experience. Highly recommend.

This place is fantastic! It is a hidden gem behind teal shutters, behind La Barbara salon. It is worth finding; a must-go!
The drinks are so good and the staff is amazing. Natalie, Ray, and Alison are super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and have great personalities! They make our time here really fun… every single time.
Every time we come to Panama City, we make sure to stop here- you should, too!

If you're looking for a bar with excellent Cocktails, best service and the most delicious Sushi - you found it!
The Cocktails are made from fresh juices, high quality spirits and with passion ❤
We had the very best time here during our stay in Panama City and highly recommend this Location.

Many thanks to Brian and Javier who made this evening so special. 🤗

Atmosphere was nice and chill. Sushi was tasty and the cocktails were amazing. We had old fashions, espresso martinis and margaritas.

Absolutely phenomenal dining experience and best sushi in Panama, without question. From the atmosphere, to the cocktail, and the royal service, this place is an absolute gem. Perfect for a casual night out or a date, it was fantastic. If I could give 6 stars I would. Incredible!! Thank you to the staff.

Why does this place not have a twin in NYC? This hidden bar and restaurant is located behind a salon, and its laid back vibes and chill playlist will have you relaxed and ready for an enjoyable night out with friends.
The food:
Spring Rolls: Best I've ever had. They are a nice twist on traditional veggie spring rolls. Joy in every bite.
The sushi: Light, nice amount of fish and other ingredients. Very fresh and delicious.

This is 100% a place you should seek out. It also is the only restaurant in the area with a 5.0 rating and for good reason.

Fantastic hidden gem! We discovered it by accident, and are so glad we did. By far the best cocktails in Panama City! It’s a classy lounge with great ambiance and an extremely friendly staff.

Such a cool space. High end design while lying tribute to the old city. The food is great but… the cocktails! The cocktails are top notch and if you happen to catch the owner of the bar, Javier, he can give you a history of all the mezcals, rums , etc. that they have as well as teach you about the drinks. Unreal experience!

So, I'm a traveling art student from Pensacola, FL who is also apart of the Food and Beverage industry. When I tell you from the Cameron's kick cocktail (The center picture) to the Sushi I was thoroughly please with the freshness, ambience, and the all-around great service I experienced. The room had its own enchanting presence and décor that made for a one of a kind event. The staff was very knowledgeable - I hold that as one of my top priorities being a traveler. Highly recommend.

I lived in Japan for 7 years and I’m very particular about makis (sushi rolls) and this is the best one I’ve had so far in the city. Desserts are also very tasty. Plus you can eat while getting your hair done. What more to ask for ?

Hidden gem in the casco viejo.
Hairdresser / boutique in the front with a fantastic bar and small restaurant in the back.
The food we ordered was consistently good, tasty and freshly prepared.
Would definitely go back for the atmosphere and food.

I like their sushi but not fan of their gari. They have good cocktails types, good playlist. Only Arran whiskey price was surprised me 😧. I went there many times while I am in Panama for one and half months. When return back to Panama I am sure I will have their sushi and cocktails sure.

Had the best time! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Best craft cocktails in all of Panama! Would recommend this place to everyone. Just look for those teal doors and enjoy.
