I was excited to see this place for myself while visiting PCB for the first time a few months ago. Waited in a huge line in the parking lot on a Saturday night. There was nothing special going on this particular night but the cover charge was still $50. Regretfully, I paid this expecting the club experience. The pool was closed, only 3 clubs were open, drinks were very overpriced. I think there were more 18 year olds in the place than people of drinking age. Maybe this was just for the night I was there, but I probably would not go back unless one of my favorite artists or bands was performing.

Bartenders were nice. Music was ghetto. Lights and visuals were good.

This place was awesome. All the workers were nice and the bartender made excellent drinks. I was visiting from Mississippi, and this was the most fun i had on the whole trip.

If DJ Will is spinning, do not bother attending! Horrible DJ! Was really disappointed! Club is in a decent location but house music was being played in the hip hop section over and over.

Me and my brother attended the 21 Savage concert. First off, 21 Savage ( when he FINALLY arrived was FANTASTIC, so no disrespect or bashing on his part- he gets 5 stars). The concert was advertised to start at 7 pm, well it didn't start until close to 11 pm. STOP advertising the concerts for 7 if they never start at 7 its infuriating when people have to actually work for a living during the week. We had an awesome spot really close to the stage however there were a ton of people smoking dope, underage girls that were sloppy drunk falling all over me and a 250 pound (at least) super drunk guy that kept laying on me and REFUSED to stop, ultimately resulting in us moving all the way in the back because the worthless staff standing right in front of us refused to say or do anything. I was furious because we arrived an hour early to get a good spot and then waited almost 4 hours for what we came for and then moved due to the staff not doing their job. I mean, what are they even there for if not to keep people in line, to stand around and suck on vape sticks?, yeah you guys looked awesome by the way (NOT). It's actually quite sad what the young people act like nowadays, I myself am 22 and felt so out of place. I have never witnessed something like this. It was repulsing and an all around AWFUL experience (except for getting to see one of my favorite rap artist LIVE and up close). I will not go back. Keep up the piss poor job Panama City.

BEST place in town for an expensive night out! $20-$30 cover and drinks are $5-$20 each! Your bartenders will treat you right if you treat them right, but your bouncers (aside from a few) will look for any reason to kick you out or not let you back in. My brother and I went to the bar for our 1st time together because I live states away and can't get home to be with him. He is a few months under 21 and walked out to take a quick phone call since it was extremely loud inside. It states all over the walls of the bar "under 21 may not re-enter" without paying cover again. He took 2 steps outside and asked to come back in after the call when he got the answer of "go back to pay $30" when the bar closed in an hour. I talked with the bouncer and explained our situation and he refused to listen or even ask a manager for help. We finally spoke with a bouncer that had respect enough to at least call a manager (he didn't want to get involved and it was his job to not let him re-enter so this was a respectful way for him to go about his job). When we explained to the manager the situation, he let my brother return. All of this to say, if you are speaking with 90% of the bouncers, they will refuse you ANY service no matter your situation. All I ask is respect and understanding and when it is not given, I refuse to recommend something to others. The only reason they get one star is because that one bouncer knew how to treat people right.

Went to the club paid $120, cause T.I performing, and for my sister bday. Asked to buy a bottle from the bartender, so another guy comes over which he told me he'll sale me a spot Far off from the stage for $380 with a bottle..i didn't want to do it..a very short time after the security(max) runs up to me and this girl i was talking to asking for i.d but wouldn't tell us why. Well, she gave him her id, but i did not..so he threatens me to take me in front of 12 outside, so they escorted me and the young lady outside in front of police and told us to leave..without my sister. off they property or else we're going to jail. I must be honest..when we first walked in we went to the bar while waiting on our drinks I lit my stick(⛽ gas) and the nice looking whitw girl with glasses wanted to hit it..T.I on stage we were Lit for 10 min before getting kicked out..smh..I'll never go back

During a concert we were served a shot that contained three flies in the alcohol. When we brought the shot (untouched) to the bartender he when to go grab his manager. We waited politely at the bar for 20-30 minutes before she arrived. She immediately started yelling at us when she looked at the shot glass and pointed to security. Security came up with unnecessary force and grabed my boyfriend and I. We were the taken to the police stationed outside where we were then taken off the premise and warned not to go back. My boyfriend and I were appalled at how the club handled themselves, and even the police officers we encountered apologized for their conduct.

This is a poorly managed establishment and a report to the Florida Department of Health will be filed.

Also:
Later that night we found out that two of our friends were pushed into the pool by the moshpit, and when they got out were immediately arrested without being asked what had happened.

World famous for a reason. There are so many different dance floors to choose from and the pool deck was a blast. It is fun enough for locals here and a must stop visit for tourists coming for spring break.

Club la vela is incredibly fun. Just make sure if you buy online tickets, you know which line you're waiting in. Drinks can get pricy. From one room to the next the price changed from 9.50 to 11. Weird? But I like the Asian guy bartender (super cool and friendly) and theres a guy with a beard that was cool af. Overall I'll definitely go back. I will say I'm impressed that after I wrote an online review about the concert I saw, a female by the name of Jesse wanted to speak to me about the incident. Showed she cared and it wasn't just another club of the masses. (Although it was a ton of people and a ton of fun!)
