Sama Sky Lounge is a new rooftop bar in Casco Viejo. Ever since Tantalo Hotel (book Tantalo Hotel) opened the first rooftop bar in Panama’s colonial quarters, the nightlife in Panama City changed forever. Rooftop bars are preferred by many to traditional night clubs which are closed off and start quite late. It is possible to go to some rooftop bars after sunset including Sama Sky Lounge which opens at 3 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday.
