My personal favorites are Spinnaker and Harpoon Harry's, but I would say the largest crowds would be wherever the Panamaniac card/Gold card is for the night. Spinnaker usually has a band playing, and this year Noah's Rain is back so I would def encourage you to check that place out. As for drink specials I don't really remember there being many if any the last 4 years during springbreak. Lattitudes I think has 25 cent beers at some point and if you have the Panamaniac card or whatever it is called now that bar usually provids free beer for a few hours each night. Last year I think you had the option of free beer or a mixed drink that contained a flavor of cruzn run and punch. Most people stay up at the bar during the free drinking hours and if you don't tip the bartender when they are giving you the drinks don't expect to get many.

Harpoon Harry's is definitely the best bar in PCB. Spinnaker's would be second. The bands are the best part and Noah's Rain is sweet. I recommend checking them out. LaVela is decent, but it doesn't live up to the hype.

Def agree with you about lavela. For the amount they hype that place up it is def a disappointment. I've heard times down there where cover has gotten to $40, def not worth it. You can still have fun there, I just always found it to be a sausage factory. I'd go check it out during the day during one of their bikini contests when its free.

I love LaVela, I've always gone in advance for like $5 then left, came back later and got in for free cause of the stamp. I'm 24 so I don't have to pay a higher price. They recently revamped 3 rooms and added a new addition called the POSH. I have always been with awesome ppl when I went so I had a great time. If your under 21 it might be a diff story.

i like to go somewhere different every night while down there, but in my opinion the tiki bar at the sandpiper is the best time. last year we were there 6 nights and went to spinnakers, lattitudes, tiki bar, harpoon harrys, coyote ugly, and lavela in that order and 4 of the 6 nights we ended up at the tiki bar around 2 in the morning. the only nights we didnt go was when we went to lattitudes and our last night.

the best event of the week in this order to me

1. hammerhead fred's foam party thurs night- BEST event of the week by far... unlimited beer and foam party for like 4 or 5 hours... it's so awesome
2. sharky's beach bash on tuesday afternoon but spinnaker's hawaiian tropic thing is cool too and this year ying yang twins will be at lavela that afternoon so i dont know what we will do
3. and harpoon harry's at all times....

lavela is cool, but you can do the same stuff there that you can do at other bars and not pay 800 bucks the time you pay to get in and have drinks... i still go once a year though for sure...

Panamaniac Card 07

I am proud to Promote the clubs on the Panamaniac Card. I appreciate the positive feed back from everyone. Theres a reason I have had this job for 11 years and the card has been around for 22 years!

My personal favourite is Harpoon Harrys with Spinnakers being a close second I also enjoy the wild wet parties at Hammerhead Freds and Sharkys as well, and so do the Breakers. But most people at the end of the week love Harpoons & Spinnakers the best.

Cheers, Andy

Coyoye's was deaddddd Friday night...the bartenders were hot as always though.

I can't wait for a couple more weeks when everything starts to open up. Right now, it's just Ms Newbys, Coyote, and La Expensive.

Does Newby's get busy during Spring Break? Is it more of a club/bar or just a restaurant? Is there cover at all? I've never been there and don't know anyone who's been there. Is it a place you want to go for a night or just for a drink or 2 before you go somewhere else?

Yes, it gets busy. It's a crappy but fun bar. It's more of a place you stop by. There's no cover...and their hunch punch will knock your d in the dirt.

You could make a night of it, but its not a college bar. I would go in there for a couple hours and hang. Maybe go with a large group and crash the party for a bit, then leave. Also there is another little bar beside the Plaza Motel called Sweet Dreams its a karaoke place you get spring breakers in there on a wednesday or thursday usually female breakers go. Check it out its something different from the normal bars you might want to try just for an hour or two.

Cheers Andy
