Founded in 2010 and named after Panama’s critically endangered golden frog, La Rana Dorada was a pioneer of the country’s craft beer movement and remains one of its most loved names. Its flagship Casco Viejo brewpub occupies what is said to be the old quarter’s oldest private house, a characterful space of exposed stone and timber, with beer brewed on site.
The rotating taps showcase a broad lineup of house-brewed styles for every palate:
The beer is poured alongside a crowd-pleasing menu of bar bites, hearty plates, and acclaimed sourdough pizzas, making it as satisfying for a full meal as for a few drinks. The vibe is relaxed and sociable, a place to drink well and settle in without any pretension, whether you are catching up with friends or working through the tap list.
La Rana Dorada suits beer lovers, casual dinners, and easygoing nights out, and it draws a friendly mix of locals, expats, and travelers. There are additional locations around Panama City, but the Casco Viejo pub, with its historic stone walls and central setting, has by far the most atmosphere and makes a natural stop while exploring the old quarter.
As one of the names that helped kick off Panama’s craft beer scene, La Rana Dorada carries a certain local pride, and its conservation-minded namesake gives it a distinctly Panamanian identity. The combination of house-brewed beer, satisfying food, and an unhurried, welcoming room makes it easy to settle in for an afternoon pint or a full evening. It is a dependable choice whether you are looking for a first stop before a bigger night out or a relaxed place to end the day, and the historic building alone is reason enough to visit while in Casco Viejo.
Yes, a menu of bar bites, hearty plates and acclaimed sourdough pizzas complements the beers.
The flagship brewpub is at Calle 9 and Calle Boquete in Casco Antiguo, with other branches around Panama City.
