I had an awesome night out at The Dive in Panama City—and let me tell you, this place knows how to deliver a good time without emptying your wallet.
First off, the vibe is exactly what you want from a dive bar: unpretentious, welcoming, and full of character. It’s got that laid-back, local charm that instantly makes you feel like a regular—even if it’s your first time walking in.
The drink menu? Solid. I tried the pineapple hard cider, and it was amazing. Super refreshing, perfectly chilled, and a flavor that hits just right in Florida’s heat. It quickly became my go-to for the night.
They were also selling jello shots that were—no joke—dangerously delicious. Think nostalgic party vibes but way tastier. And get this—the prices were insanely reasonable. Like… “are you sure this is my whole tab?” kind of reasonable.
As an added bonus, I got to catch Ashley Morgan performing live, and she crushed it! The Dive clearly knows how to pick their talent, because the music totally elevated the experience without overpowering it. Great acoustics and a cozy setup made it feel like a personal concert.
Final word?
Whether you're there for the drinks, the live music, or just to unwind with good people, The Dive nails the vibe. Great prices, great energy, and a spot that delivers way more than you'd expect. I’ll definitely be back.

Best staff on town! That was 3 years ago. Honestly there's a handful left that are cool. The no cashapp cards are welcome is an inconvenience for sure but not completely impossible. There's online touch tunes is missing a lot of music. I get a real racist vibe there and the couple of pretty faces behind the bar get real ugly when they have to do there job. God forbid you have to make a real basic drink or open a bottle because they don't even carry liquor I drink (Courvoisier, Martell, Remi).
Fun place to play pool with affordable drinks. Darts and punching bag to test your strength was pretty cool. We had a blast! Friendly environment and not overcrowded with plenty of parking. Would definitely visit this place again.
My favorite place to catch the sunset. Usually has live music
Had a great time with the old woman cheap drink and great people

Great little spot
We had some beer and listened to some great rock and roll!!!
Me and my husband typically stick to downtown but decided to go to the dive for a bit on a Sunday when we had free time, we had SO much fun, great music + people. So many happy people enjoying themselves. 10/10 recommend
Best Bar in Panama City FL locals and tourists enjoy the laid back atmosphere and Live music from a wide range of genres
You don’t beat a man to unconsciousness and then continue to beat him. That’s not right.
