Panama, Amsterdam
Panama is a club on the northeast edge of central Amsterdam, right on the water and housed in a century old former port authority building. The venue is expansive with high ceilings and windows, owing to the buildings warehouse heritage. A century ago enormous machines have been providing electricity to the old harbour from this impressive building. Panama is one of the oldest running clubs in Amsterdam with a rich history.
Funk, Soul, Disco Boat Party
We have lined up a spacious and wide ship with two modern decorated halls and a gigantic outer deck. With a total floor space of no less than 900 m², this unique location is the perfect party boat for Funk The Dam! Equipped with various bars, a stage, lounge furniture and a huge sound system, we can’t wait to rock the boats with Craig Charles, Norman Jay MBE!
