(Panama Gringo) The tradition of friends gathering around a television with copious amounts of beer and food, screaming for their favorite sports team is universal to nearly every country around the world. Finding the perfect spot to cheer on your squad is a quintessential part of expat relocation in a new country. This is because there is virtually no better homesickness cure than watching your home team destroy their arch rivals…. Now Panama City has a plethora of viable options with decent TV’s, good drink prices and munchies to get you through the game, but the place I have discovered goes beyond all these simple amenities. This place is the mecca for everything sports related in Panama City and whether you want just sip on beers and watch, or gamble on virtually any facet of the game, Superbookhas what you need. With more flat screen TV’s than a Best Buy and a claim that they have the capability to show you any game of any sport you please, Superbook will be sure to please your taste whether it be African Giraffe Polo or American Football!!
Not only does this place feature a nice outdoor lounge to watch sports, but the inside is decorated like a posh VIP club with a fully stocked bar, bottle service and nice looking girls to provide you with liquid inebriation. Sounds expensive right? Wrong! For a mere $8 a bucket of balboa beers can be yours and if NFL American football is your fancy, cruise by for a Monday Night Game because with every bucket o’ beer you purchase you have the opportunity to guess the final outcome of the game which will win you a whopping $500!! There’s an awesome mixed crowd of expats and locals who all have one thing in common, they love sports!!! Just for the experience of finding a local Panamanian wearing your favorite sports team’s gear and cheering wildly for them is reason enough to visit Superbook, so if you find yourself in the Bella Vista area near the Beirut restaurant and Marriot Hotel go take a peak for a guaranteed good time. You will be able to find this Panamanian Gringo in Superbook slouched in one of the amazingly comfortable red chairs only half visible behind a bucket of Balboa beers during every Denver Broncos and Tottenham Hotspurs matches this season, so if you come by feel free to say hello (unless you’re a Raiders or Arsenal fan, then maybe wait until after the match). Feel free to inquire about the greatness that is Superbook below.
