Furia — Local services in Bella Vista

Furia means “fury” in Spanish, and that may be exactly what neighbors feel by sunrise.

Furia is an ambitious restaurant-nightclub perched above an art gallery and The Piano Bar, just steps from PH Costanera. While the food and cocktails are both imaginative and well-executed, it’s the experience beyond the plate that defines this venue—for better or worse.

The space is intimate to the point of feeling cramped, especially once the evening transitions from dinner to dance. The dance floor is tucked into the rear of the room, and the speakers, which seem more appropriate for a warehouse rave, overpower the space. The result? A soundscape that bleeds into the surrounding neighborhood, often until 4:00AM. If you’re considering living at Costanera, this is not a minor detail.

Service is attentive and friendly, and the kitchen consistently delivers on flavor and creativity. But these strengths can’t fully compensate for the tension between Furia’s culinary aspirations and its nightclub ambitions. In the morning, the area around the entrance bears the aftermath—broken bottles and scattered debris hint at the intensity of the night before.

In short: Furia delivers good food and a strong bar program, but the venue’s physical limitations and disregard for noise control laws make it a problematic neighbor. A bold concept—perhaps too bold...

Where the hell was Italian Somali? I came from Berlin to see this artist and he did not show up. You advertised it and I bought a ticket!! The drinks were overpriced but that is okay since it is a more fancy establishment. The bouncer was not letting me in first because of my clothes (Suit Pants and Seersucker shirt), even though I had a ticket. I went there a second time and this one was okay. Besides a few downsides, you can have a pretty solid time there. The club appears to be always full which is a good thing. The bathroom only fits 3 people max at a time which is annoying and there is only one urinal+ one toilet.

If you are a tourist visiting, this is the best club to go to: international audience,Latin music that you’ll likely know and an absolutely Instagram story...

If you want a club-style nigh out, Furia is one of the few options as of 2023 in Panama. Lots of clubs went out of business in the pandemic and so few remained alive. This is not a club since it’s open to eat early in the night but at 11pm, the place becomes a discoteca with nice sound and lights set. I would recommend the dj to play more electrónica and stop cropping the songs but I guess that’s the Panamanian style though.

Cover late at night is $20 each. There is parking lot. People visiting are frequently around their 20s and early 30s.
