Jazz Fest After Party
Why not have a party at Club Unión? The famous Casco Viejo landmark sits empty for most of the year. Plus, it’s an open space that has some of the best views of Panama City. People raved about the party and we all hope there are more fiestas to come.
Personally, I have been waiting years to have more events at Club Unión. Casco Viejo’s nightlife is on the rise, but Panama’s historic district lacks a legitimate club. Club Unión is the only place in Casco that will fit enough people and the building is isolated enough that blasting electronic music will not piss off the neighbors. In addition, you can’t help but feel cool partying in the same place James Bond was filmed.
However, people at the party had a couple complaints:
1. Hire more Bartenders. At times, it took over 20 minutes to order a drink.
2. Sell CDs. People loved the music, but there was little, if any, promotion of the DJ Omar Fierro or Seth Troxler. Usually, the DJ’s hand out their CD’s during the night, or have a large display of the DJ’s webpage and Facebook/Myspace profiles. But, neither was visible.
3. Girl ONLY bathrooms. The co-ed bathrooms were gross. Guys pissed all over the toilet sits. Even, I noticed the disgustingness of the bathroom and I’m a guy.
Overall, the event has a smashing hit. Seeing more international musicians like Tiesto, Deadmau5, Ministry of Sound, etc would be a real treat.

It has to be said, that the jazz fest after party was fantastic!…the music was great…I cant even say which one of the dj’s did a better job!!!…yes it’s true there were to few bar tenders….BUT actually it was not necessary to sell cd”s, as the whole evening was recorded at people can listen to the music on red bull music award radio for free!!!!…I hope the organiser will arrange this kind of parties periodical!

I was devastated to see that they’ve demolished the building! Who knew this was going down? I loved hanging out there, day or night. What a loss to Casco Viejo and the city.
