Our Suggestions:

It’s going to be a great weekend on Panama City Beach. Families, if you are looking to get out Thursday night head across the inlet bridge to Seaside and enjoy the Central Square Cinema. Remember to bring your blankets, chairs and picnic baskets. All movies are G-rated classics the kids will love.

For all you love-birds out there, head to downtown Panama City and enjoy the Visual Arts Center’s Faces and Facets photography contest starting on Friday and going throughout the weekend. You’ll see some of the most amazing art Panama City and the local area has to offer. While walking downtown stop by “The Place”, a Panama City restaurant that has been around for years, and have a tasty lunch.

Clubbers, Club La Vela is hosting “Wrong Way” a Sublime tribute band. If you know anything about the legendary band Sublime, you know the music will be fantastic and the vibes relaxing and fun.

Our Suggestions:

For all you love-birds out there, Club La Vela’s 80′s night will be good fun and dancing like you’re Kevin Bacon in Footloose. Thursday night concert at Pier Park is the perfect way to watch the sun set.

Clubbers, who could pass up free beer at Hofbrau? Not me. And Spinnaker’s Sex and the City Saturday will be an event you don’t want to miss.

Our Suggestions

Possible rain expected: Family’s might want to try heading out to the Grande to catch a movie or over to RockIt Lanes for skating and bowling. For couples, this might be a perfect weekend for dinner on the Lady Anderson or a concert at Pineapple Willy’s Pier Bar. For you club-goers Club La Vela has two great concerts this weekend and Oxygen has two-for-one Friday night.

Best Drinks: Sharky’s Beach Bar
Do you know what the “Watermelon Crawl” is? If you don’t, you should. Sharky’s, located on Front Beach road, during the day is a relatively quiet seafood restaurant serving up  everything from mahi-mahi, shrimp, scallops, and even fresh Apalachicola Oysters. But when the sun goes down on Panama City Beach, and the live music kicks in, Sharky’s transforms into one of the most exciting bars on the beach and the drinks have a lot to do with it. The best drink, maybe in the entire universe, is the Watermelon drink. Basically, they cut a watermelon in half, hollow that thing out and fill it with enough liquor to take out a NFL football team. By the time you and your buds drink it up, you’ll be doing the Watermelon Crawl for the rest of the night.

Most Flirt-Encouraging: Sandpiper Beacon’s Tiki Bar
Sandpiper Beacon is a popular hotel on Panama City Beach known and loved for many reasons, but none more than its very tropical, highly-stimulating Tiki Bar. This Polynesian style oasis is perfect place to dance, drink and meet someone worth flirting with. In fact, once you descend the planks to a dance floor surrounded by bamboo, palm trees  and the sweet-salty smell of the gulf, you’ll believe you’re are the most desirable person in the place. They’ve got karoake, Lanakilas hula and Samoan fire knife dancers that make you feel like you’re on some tropical island where inhibitions abscond with the ocean. You’ll definitely want to flirt, but it may surprise you how many people will flirt back.

No Nonsense: Ms. Newby’s
Sometimes you just want to go to a bar, have a drink with friends and avoid the crowds and the crazies. While some may be fine with going to a fancy martini bar or having a few drinks with dinner, most people want a real bar. That bar, at least as far as Panama City Beach is concerned, is Ms. Newby’s. What began as a liquor store has, over the years, transformed into PCB’s #1 good-times tavern. Bikers, breakers and locals all hanging out under one roof, that’s Ms. Newby’s. The drinks are hard, the music is good and the people police themselves. That’s about all you could ever ask for in a bar.

Most Exciting: Club Oxygen
New bars and clubs pop up on Panama City Beach all the time. Rarely do they have staying power as they become overwhelmed by the PCB nightlife staples that have drawn crowds for years. If a new bar or club can stay open, you know its legit. One such place that has proven itself to be not only legit, but can stomp with the big boys is Club Oxygen.  Located on Front Beach Road, this indoor/outdoor hotspot is putting a fresh new spin on Panama City Beach nightlife. The music is hot, the place is always packed and the vip lounge is consistently littered with famous people.

Craziest Antics: Coyote Ugly
You’ve seen the movie. You seen the girls dancing on bar tops and crowds screaming mad while some guy gets tequila poured down his throat. Well, while you may think that’s just movie magic, you’ve obviously never been to a real Coyote Ugly. Panama City Beach’s now infamous Coyote Ugly, located on Front Beach Road, is known for throwing down an insane party every night of the week. In fact, everything you saw in the movie is like a Disney version compared to what really happens on Panama City Beach. But don’t say we didn’t warn you; Coyote Ugly is one crazy good time.

Local Favorite: Spinnaker’s Beach Club
When locals want to get out and party and don’t want to be mobbed by the crowds, they head to one spot and that’s Spinnaker’s Beach Club. During the day it’s an amazing restaurant, serving up treats at the Paradise Grill or the beachside Cantina taco & tequila bar. At night it transforms into one of the most exciting club experiences in NW Florida. The Groove Room, The VIP Lounge and the Rock Arena provide enough room to get your dance on, the drinks are inexpensive and powerful and the atmosphere is all about having a good time.

Sportiest: Pineapple Willy’s Pier Bar
There are lots of places on the beach to watch the big game. Only one place lets you watch the big game on 360 degrees worth of HDTV, while serving up Fat Tuesday drinks. That place is Pineapple Willy’s Pier Bar. Known because of the adjacent restaurant, the Pier Bar is a recently opened component that is quietly taking over the sporting community on Panama City Beach. Not only are the all the games crisply displayed on huge televisions, but each table gets its own speaker box to make sure you hear the game you want to hear. While you’re team is crushing its opponent, you get to kick back and have bucket of BBQ ribs right on the gulf.
