Housed in a restored boutique hotel in Casco Viejo, Tantalo pairs a ground-floor kitchen with the neighborhood’s original and most iconic rooftop bar. The kitchen serves a globe-trotting menu of shareable tapas-style plates that draw on Panamanian, Mediterranean, and Latin flavors, ideal for grazing before heading upstairs.
The rooftop is the real draw: a landmark for well over a decade, it offers panoramic views over the colonial rooftops and the modern skyline beyond, with DJs, live music, and a party atmosphere most nights of the week. It is one of the definitive ways to experience an evening in the old quarter.
Tantalo suits travelers and locals looking for a lively dinner-and-drinks combo, sunset cocktails, or a late-night scene. Arrive early on weekends to claim a spot on the roof.
The rooftop typically runs late, until around 2am on weeknights and 4am Thursday through Saturday, with DJs and live music.
At Avenida B and Calle 8 in Casco Viejo, the historic quarter of Panama City.
