Venues & Event Spaces in Panama City, FL

“I cannot say enough good things about the Pickleball experience at Papa Joe's Bayside! The courts are absolutely amazing—top-tier quality—but what really makes this place special is the people. It genuinely feels like a family environment here.
The instructors, Bohdan and Kathy, are incredible. They are so knowledgeable and provide genuine feedback to help improve your game, all while being kind, funny, and incredibly welcoming. It doesn’t matter if you are playing in the morning or under the lights at night, the atmosphere is always perfect.
I also love how involved the owner is. You can often catch him on the courts playing a match or just cheering people on. Seeing him so engaged and welcoming really sets the tone for the whole place and makes it feel like a tight-knit community. I’ve made so many new friends just from playing here.
Bonus points for the food! The food trucks are delicious, but you have to try the salad. It is hands down one of the best (if not THE best) salads in Panama City. Between the fundraising events, the lessons, and the inclusive vibe, this is just an all-around wonderful place to be. Highly recommend!”

“I recently celebrated my 50th birthday at Trigo’s 131 Event Center, and it was an amazing experience! They accommodated my request for brunch items—even though it wasn’t on the catering menu—and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff provided true 5-star service throughout. I highly recommend this venue—exceptional service!”

“My wife and I started dancing about a month ago. It is such a welcoming environment even if you have never danced before and have two left feet and no discernible rhythm. There instructors are amazing and patient. They are all fun, vibrant, and accepting.”

“My daughter has been attending classes her for several weeks with such a great experience several times. We have tried another gym and they did not feel as welcoming but this has never been the case at gymnastics plus they truly make you feel at home. She has done so well since she has started and looks forward to the days she has classes every week!”
