- It is a good place, a different one. I thing must have a photo of Luis C. Russell (was born on Bocas del Toro Province, Panama), who re-built concept and music of jazz worldwide.

- Panama has just opened in time for the Christmas rush.
It has a pale wooden front, is squashed up against the Bachelors Inn and makes a very interesting juxtaposition. The theme of the bar is rather strange but interesting and fresh none the less. The décor evokes pre-revolution Panama. In a charming move all the bar-staff wear Panama hats with the bouncers going as far as donning spats for the full 1950’s flavour. The Panamanian theme is continued with a life-size portrait of General Noriega, in jovial mood, behind the bar. There are many other political references too, like pictures of Omar Torrijos and Jimmy Carter signing the Panama Canal Treaty in 1977. The worlds most famous canal is never far away with pictures of it from the air, from the ground, in construction and in completion, dotted all over the bar. There is even a copy of the original architect’s drawings for the canal beside the ladies (senoritas) toilets. Speaking of toilets, it’s worth visiting the bar alone to visit the gents (caballeros) toilets. There are six life-size ceramic Panamanian country peasants holding large wicker-looking baskets which are the urinals. I kid you not! The whole Panama experience is topped off by a duke box in the corner that only has original records by Gladys Knight. I asked the barman about this and he told me that Gladys Knight is huge in Panama and has been since the sixties. A surreal experience indeed. Top marks

- Called in on Saturday (3pm - not that busy), waited for 10 minutes to be server, called over a waitress. "I'll be with you in a minute." After almost ten more minutes, I got the same answer from the other waitress. So we left. Passed on Monday and decided to call in. It took ten minutes to ORDER two coffees, partly because the server was so slow, but mainly because she was having a chat with the workmate right beside me. I don't think I will be going back.

- Spent the best part of two days in their watching the Rugby on 11/10 and 12/10 2003 and was given great service and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. One of the most interesting pubs i have been in in a long time. Joanne, one of the waitresses is beautiful, and i would visit again just to see her!!!!!

- Have to agree about the woeful service here - the staff may look good but they are only interested in themselves - not the customers.
Had to re-order my drink twice as the bar-girl was too busy preening herself to remember what we asked for - bad manners - bad attitude - bad atmosphere. Plus the glass was filthy and had the remains of at least two other women on it ( a hot pink and a browny lipstick - turned my stomach as I had already taken a few sips when I noticed.)
Decor is no big deal same old wood - wood and more wood - music dire and all in all we were much happier when we took ourselves off to another pub.
This place gives Dublin pubs a bad name - avoid at all costs.
