Istmo Brew Pub - Microbrewery in Colon, Panama
Istmo Brew Pub in Colon
Description
Privilege
Okay place to hang and chat. The "arañitas" were way too salty. Prices are moderate. Dont like the smoke, but its inevitable.
MorePub with billiards. Younger crowd, hard rock. They make their own beer, and its pretty good, but they had a limited selection when I was there. (Saturday 10pm, half capacity. Not expensive. Friendly.
MoreIve really enjoyed this bar in the past but after the service tonight well think twice before returning. Having watched clients who arrived after us receive their cocktails before our beer... we left.
MoreGood beer, nice bartender. Simple place. Nothing really special.
Visited here in 2017 and now back in Panama I intend to go again. Great selection of beers and friendly staff.
MoreGreat beers.
Very nice people! Their beers are very solid. Vibe & music was great! Great selection of beers & liquor too!
MoreVery nice local brewery bar and restaurant. The service was excellent and the beer even better. I would totally recommend this place!
MoreEmployees are alert and willing to help but you have to check your consumption otherwise they will add without letting you know, definitely not recommended, pizzas are average, not that good,...beers are a bit pricy for the quality
MoreGood location (City Centre). Good and friendly staff. Good food & good beer
It was good, à little bit pricey but good
Beer good. Happy hour honoured with no tricks. Relaxed atmosphere. Good vibe.
Great staff. The wings were delicious cook perfectly. They have several microbrews on tap. Its off the beaten trail which means you get to hang with the locals!
MoreI liked the beer sampler and the microbrews were all very good. Recommend.
I had a perfect pairing of an IPA and a cigar. Magnifico!
The place was on the road side and well run. Quite empty when I visited. Beer offered either on tap or bottles is nice and the taste is great. Local beers such as Fula are available. The pizza was nicely done and good to taste, the hamburger was full of caramelized onions which hampered the taste but still a good option.
MoreMost of the beers were a bit boring and didnt have much flavor or body. I thought the Coclé (Bockwas the best. Service was friendly though and its nice to find a place in Panamá playing rock and roll instead of reggaeton for a change. Certainly wouldnt be a bad deal to come for the two-for-one beers during happy hour if you want to drink that early.
MoreGreat place for lovers of real ale. The tasting tray cantained about eight vastly different beers. Good atmosphere and snacks.
MoreNice bar but a bit pricey compared to what else is around
Great ambience and great service, local brew might be a bit stronger than expected.
MoreRustic decoration, enough spacing for it to be comfortable, with a good variety of drinks and entertainment options; the music was excellent, excellent pub to visit without question!
MoreBest craft beer pub in town 😃 Kozy. Tired of latino music? Go to Istmo, the play rock/heavy rock/folk rock music 👍
MoreGot "touristed". Ordered "some nacho chips". "We only have with cheese". All right. Got a mountain of nacho chips with cheese för $18. Beer was nice.
MoreGood beer, average service, nice ambient.
Love this place for a great light meal and hand crafted beer. Super nice people and service and a very chill place playing old rock.
MoreSmall bar, often has local bands, Great local beer
good beer...they also have Fullers ESB in bottles which is +. best beer on the UK.
MoreSuper cool place if you want to have some snacks and beers
Beers are good, service is good. Nothing bad :DEnjoy!
Good beer selection, food was ok.
Really good beer.I had to go to the bar and get my beer while the waitress was talking with some guy. But, hey, you might get good service.There is happy hour during the afternoon!
MoreNice place, they have a pool table and a terrace area. Their beers have a really good price-quality relation, I recommend the Colón one, it has a ver soft flavour and the highest alcohol percentage out of all the beers they offer😉
MoreGreat beers! Acceptable food. Waitresses need to be more friendly
Great beer selection, good service and very reasonably priced. Did not try any of the food.
MoreLove it, great place for beers on after office, but if you looking for better beers and personalized customer service go to animal brew
MoreGrab a tap beer and enjoy! Im a bit of a beer snob and enjoyed all 3 beers I tried. The place is super chill and affordable.
MoreGood beers although the place is outrageously expensive, the service by the waitresses is bad because???? Oh you know young people who feel that maybe the world owes them something. But the worst is that in Panama the tip is voluntary, we the customers tip if we want... if good service/products were provided in a timely manner but not in Istmo. Beware ladies and gentlemen: if youre paying with a card they dont ask you if you want to tip the recommended 10 %, they just add it... no questions asked. Screw that type of service.
MoreLeft my hat there two weeks ago; not only did landlord recognise me, he also remembered Id left my hat. And the beer is still ace ....
MoreNice bar with a friendly atmosphere, good beer, pool table, outside seating and table service
MoreGhost town. Been here for an hour and no other customers. 1 person speaks English. 4 beers are brewed here and some are ok. Expensive, $6.50 a pint. Server was more interested in her phone than helping me.
MoreThis establishment has a good selection of beers and some decent food to go along with it. The primary downside is that it can be fairly expensive - $8+ dollars for some import beers.
MoreSorry, gonna be a beer snob. Being from Portland, Oregon, I would expect a place that calls itself a brew pub to serve an IPA. There are two on the menu and neither are made by Istmo Brewing. One wasnt available and the other testad suspiciously like one of the five lagers they have on draft. This isnt really a beer place. The pizza wasnt bad though. Heres a pic of my very pale gold "IPA."
MoreBeautiful place and the beer is reeeeeeally good
Like the simplicity of the place but the location at same time, good price and chill to hang out with friends.
MoreDecent pub grub in a airy atmosphere, definitely not for a quiet conversation but thats not what this place is aimed at. Fun times
MoreVery popular pub with above average service and very reasonably priced. A nice discovery.
MoreNice amber ale. Try the samples to find your favorite. I visited microbreweries in Bocas del Toro and Boquete too. Al of them serve fine beers...
MoreGo here every time Im in panama. One of the few places with microbrews in the country, so I guess that means its one of the best, right? I believe they have four different styles, not sure on the ABV%They have good food too, so make sure to get some of their appetizers, they are worth it. Great place to go hang out and have a few drinks in the evening
MoreUpon arrival, our server presented us with a sample of each of their house beers. She was very kind and attentive, and patient with my limited Spanish. The beer and food were very good, and the seating outside was quite pleasant.
MoreAwesome pubGreat serviceVery good local brewed beer
