Anyone looking for fun and fine dining will find it in Panama City.

As its beach location demands, Panama City delivers high quality seafood in a number of prime locations. Locals and tourists alike flock to Schooners, “the Last Local Beach Club,” for its fun atmosphere and proximity to the ocean. Menu items include seafood favorites as well as Schooners own items like the “Scuban,” Schooners take on a classic Cuban sandwich, and “The Beach Party,” Schooners seafood platter. Another big draw is its live music and late hours. Schooners opens daily at 11 a.m. and doesn't close until the wee hours of the morning.

Housed in a little shack by the beach lies a Panama oyster gem--Shuckums Oyster Pub & Grill. Like Schooners, Shuckums draws crowds due to its unique atmosphere, and of course, its oyster bar. Opened in 1967 by two southern boys who knew next-to-nothing about oysters, the restaurant has since grown to become one of Panama City's iconic seafood bars. In addition to the restaurant, Shuckums also offers the Party Shack. It's open all week and features a DJ, singing and dancing for all ages.

Anyone looking for something other than seafood will find themselves well taken care of in Panama City. Restaurants like Outlaws Barbecue offer an alternative to the many ocean-themed spots. Outlaws is famous for its award-winning barbecue and has earned recognition as the “Best of Bay” for its mastery of the slow-cooked meat.

The Boars Head Restaurant combines surf and turf, providing customers with the best of both worlds. The restaurant prides itself on simplicity, presenting great products with simple preparation. Open for thirty years, the Boars Head has kept customers coming back due to its good food and entertainment. The restaurant also offers live music Wednesday through Saturday.
