When the sun goes down and its time to party on Panama City Beach, there is no shortage of places to get your dance, drink, flirt and your crazy on. Here is a list on the the best after-hour party spots on Panama City Beach.
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.
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.
Best “Good Times” Bar: Harpoon Harry’s
Every town has a bar that is their special bar, a place where you can go have a drink with pals, listen to live music and maybe meet someone new. For Panama City Beach, “Harpoon’s” is the perfect place for those hard-to-find good times. With a tropical atmosphere, great food, an impressive drink selection and a staff that knows how to throw a party, you could spend your entire spring break partying at Harpoon’s, never want to leave and have stories upon stories of the good times.

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: Hammerhead Fred’s
Hammerhead Fred’s is the ultimate Spring Break bar. Why, you ask? Fred’s is known for dropping 40 FREE KEGS of ice cold draft nightly for Spring Breakers. At Fred’s the party goes on and on, making up tasty food, drinks galore and DJ’s that spin the hottest music. But wait until the Wet and Wild and Foam Parties kick off. That’s when you’ll know you landed in Spring Break heaven. The excitement just doesn’t stop at Hammerhead Fred’s.

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.
