Fine Wine and Cheese at The Wine Bar

June 15th, 2009 | Panama - Adults Only, Panama - Nightlife, Panama - Places to Eat | No Comments »

The Wine Bar is part of a group of restaurants all started by the same Swiss Chef who moved to Panama a long time ago. The wine bar serves up a large variety of wines (as expected), and casual gourmet food.

Let’s start with the good points: the wine selection is incredible. There are over 200 varieties from Europe, Chile and California, to name a few. Most of the wine is mid-range, but there are a few special bottles on the menu. The Wine Bar is decorated like a little Italian tavern, with vine and trellis ceilings, making it a nice relaxing place to enjoy a cup of wine, chat with friends, and listen to some live music.

May 30th, 2009 | Panama - Adults Only, Panama - Nightlife | 4 Comments »

For all those beer fans out there, did you know that Cerveza Panama was a awarded a gold medal at the International Brewers Contest in 2008? That may be why it is one of the most popular beers in Panama.

The five most popular beers drank by the locals that are brewed locally are Atlas, Balboa, Crista, Panama and Soberana.

Atlas and Balboa are brewed by the Cervezaria National and Atlas tends to be the most popular choice among Panamanians, sort of like the Budweiser of Panama. Balboa tastes a bit better, but neither are as good as what is brewed at the Cervezaria de Panama.

Cervezaria de Panama, located in Chiriqui, is where Cerveza Panama is brewed, and it Read more

I am happy to help anyone who wants to make the move to Panama with tips on how I have success in Panama, but I have to admit that sometimes getting back to those who e-mail me is pretty difficult, and time consuming.

So, this Gringo, along with all the other Gringo writers (see my blogroll for affiliate sites) have worked to create a database that puts you in contact with the people you need to reach in Panama (and Guatemala, Costa Rica, Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador and more!)

If you are looking for legal services, real estate information, an English speaking assistant or driver, cosmetic surgery, dental work and so on, all you need to do is the Read more
