“Today was our first visit to Shades Bar & Grill. We were there for lunch & the food & service (our server was Sarah) could not have been better. We ordered the chicken & sausage gumbo, Philly cheesesteak & the chicken jalapeño ranch wrap. Our sides were onion rings & sweet potato fries, however we had a hard time making a selection because of the many great food options to choose from. All the food was delicious & Sarah was a top notch server who was friendly, prompt & efficient. Definitely recommend & will visit Shades again when back in the area.“

“Topgolf Panama City Beach, located at 15475 Topgolf Way near Pier Park, is a vibrant addition to the Emerald Coast’s entertainment scene, having opened in late June 2025. This modern venue brings the signature Topgolf experience to the beach town, blending high-tech golf with a lively social atmosphere that’s perfect for families, date nights, or group outings.
The facility boasts over 70 all-weather hitting bays equipped with Toptracer technology for accurate shot tracking, fun micro-games, and competitive challenges—no prior golf experience required. Bays feature personal HDTVs, climate control with cooling fans for humid summers and heating for cooler evenings, ensuring year-round comfort. The massive 22-foot video wall and 100+ screens throughout keep the energy high with sports broadcasts, music videos, and game scores.
Food and drinks shine here. The menu offers chef-driven options like juicy burgers, the standout Patty Melt, loaded nachos, wings, and fresh salads, paired with craft cocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic choices. Servers are often praised for being fast, friendly, and attentive, even during busy times. Prices align with typical Topgolf locations—bay rentals vary by time and day (higher on weekends/evenings), but the value comes from hours of entertainment.
The vibe is electric: loud music, giant targets in the outfield, outdoor cornhole for waiting groups, and a spacious sports bar area. It’s family-friendly yet energetic enough for adults, with plenty of parking and easy access.
Reviews are mostly positive, highlighting the “blast” of fun, excellent service (shoutouts to staff like Michael on opening day), and delicious eats. Some note it’s pricey or mixed on crowds, but overall, it’s hailed as a “must-visit” and a welcomed boost to PCB’s attractions.
Whether you’re a golf enthusiast or just seeking something different by the beach, Topgolf delivers excitement and relaxation in one spot. Highly recommended for your next Panama City Beach adventure—book ahead, especially on weekends!“

“Walking into Rock’It Lanes is like walking into a gamer kid’s dreamland.. Large arcade, bowling, and a roller skating rink all in one building. Perfect for a day of family friendly fun! We also celebrated my son’s birthday here and it was the absolute best! Autumn, our party coordinator, was purely amazing. She helped get us set up then suggested how to coordinate the three activities. Bowling, pizza/cake, then distribute the arcade cards and skating wristbands. The best way! She stayed in tune and knew when to order the pizzas to make sure they were ready as soon as the bowling games ended. Everything went so smooth, even with crazy 6/7 year olds. Parties can be overwhelming but she made ours almost effortless. My son already requested to have his party there again next year.“
