Fishale Taphouse & Grill

Stopped here on our way into town. We decided on appetizers for dinner as we had a late lunch on our way down, and we were not disappointed. They run cool specials almost every day - $5 apps on Tuesdays till six! Naturally, we got in at 6:14. Oh well!

The interior of Fishale is definitely well-described as a "taphouse." Sort of dim, industrial, but attractive. We were seated quickly and put in our orders. One of our servers was a little spacey, but everyone was friendly and good-natured.

My boyfriend got the Kronbacher beer and really enjoyed it. Light, clean, and tasty. We got four different appetizers: the Chichen tuna, the shrimp dish in a sweet chili sauce, the spinach and artichoke dish, and the giant pretzel. Everything was pretty solid!

The chili sauce on the shrimp dish was really yummy. The texture wasn't perfect, but overall it was a good option. My dad liked the tuna, but I didn't sample it so I can't speak to it. The spinach and artichoke dish tasted really yummy, but we felt a little more dip was needed; we wound up with extra chips with nothing to dip them in. On the bright side, the chips were also super crunchy and delicious on their own. The best dish was definitely the pretzel, though. The dough was perfectly pillowy, the right amount of sea salt on top, with just a hint of sweetness in the bread. Both the beer cheese and mustard were delicious. Highly recommend!

Check out some of the deals on their menu. This is a solid place to visit!

Loved this place! Tried it for the first time on Thursday afternoon around 4PM for an early dinner. They have happy hour from 2-6pm where all the drinks are discounted along with $5 appetizers! The inside of the restaurant is nice with huge bar area.

When we arrived, it wasn't busy at all. So we got excellent service! We ordered dirty martini and pomegranate martinis and both were great. For my pomegranate martini, I asked for extra vodka and less cranberry juice. Anyhow for the appetizer, we ordered a dozen buffalo shrimps! And those were delicious.

I've been loving shrimps lately and there were very good. They come with ranch or blue cheese. For the entrees, we went with fishdale crab cakes and midnight chicken. I absolutely loved my midnight chicken and it was very moist and nicely marinated. Tasted so good! With mash potatoes and side of vegetables like carrots, asparagus, cauliflower and broccoli. I totally recommend it!

For our dessert, we went with a waitress's recommendation and tried banana frosted cheesecake. The cheesecake was yummy. For 5 drinks total during happy hour, two appetizers and two entrees, and cheesecake dessert, our bill was only $81 which was amazing! I definitely recommend this place.

If I could do a 0 star, I would.

We ordered Uber eats and literally received nothing as it was described. We called and spoke with the manager and she said she would call me back in a few minutes, I gave her 20, and then decided to call back. She offered zero apology or make amends by delivering what was missing. She said she didn't own Uber. We will never go to this establishment again, and we will tell everyone else about it. Look at the pictures.

First I want to say that this place is under new ownership and will be rebranding soon as "Craft 850" this review is catered towards their new brand when they relaunch, as this shows the extent of their Craft and Talent.

We came in for a family Christmas Dinner, They have a classy private event room with a nice ambiance that we utilized along with friendly staff. The new owners were great to work with in planning our festivities and their talented chefs cooked us an amazing off menu dinner.
We started off with a charcuterie Platter and some appetizers for the kids, Then moved on to Goose Confit, Sweet Potato Medley, Gator Stuffed Turkey Breast with Cornbread Dressing, Roasted Duck with Roasted Root Vegetables, Loaded Mashed Potatoes, White Fish with Mediterranean Vegetables then topped it off with their amazing Dessert Selection.
They have an extensive beer, wine, bourbon and scotch selection. There is something for everyone!
My favorite off menu cocktail is a Scorched Earth,
It's so good! Ask your bar tender about it next time you visit.

If you are looking for the best place in Panama City for special events, where you get one of a kind food with a huge selection of drinks so there's something for everyone, this is the place to go! They also have Vegan options, and their regular menu is really good too.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP! Anyone in the PCB area, I highly recommend you check out this restaurant (soon to be renamed) ASAP! It has been completely elevated-- the service is incredible, you're left wanting for nothing. The ambiance is gorgeous. The craft beer and wine selection is abundant, and the bar manager can make you just about any fancy cocktail you both can come up with (try the smoking rosemary one)! The food is stellar, and they even cater to food restrictions (VEGANS, VEGETARIANS-- this will be your new go-to spot, where your family AND YOU can eat )! They have happy hour with deals on apps and drinks (get the pickle fries and Buffalo Cauliflower! The Whole tabled loved both each time). And they have carry out! My new favorite spot in PCB!

Decided to give this a go as it was right across the street from my hotel and heard they had good craft beer selection. It was nit very busy even at 6 on Thursday. They definitely had a good beer selection with several local brews. It did not disappoint here. Food was good and service was excellent. Decor was a bit dark and it was good i was sitting near a window for light. I would return here.

$5 Happy Hour Appetizers!

First, Nat was our server - he looked like he was 12 (sorry, Nat! :) ) but really isn't! Very personable and friendly. Dad and I went for $5 shrimp -- fried and coated in your sauce of choice or you can get "dry" with sauce on the side. The sweet chile lime is excellent! I also had the Chichin Tuna -- sliced tuna with a little breading, cooked rare, and sat in a bed of sweet chile lime with wasabi stripes. Really good and also $5. Side salads rounded out the meal. There is a wall of taps with tons of choices of beers and wines (i think).

So glad this place is under new owners! They have updated the menu and service is amazing! We enjoyed a fabulous dinner starting with appetizers of Alligator Ribs, Seared Ahi Tuna, and Crab Cakes (incredible!), then they brought our main course of Elk, Asparagus, and Truffle Fries and ended with Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and Chocolate Cake! The craft beers selection was impressive...I just can't say enough about this place! Thanks for an excellent meal in a wonderful environment!

What a wonderful place! Eric, our server, was phenomenal. Very friendly, made great suggestions, super attentive, fast--you name what you want/need in a server and he was it. The atmosphere is super chill and not touristy at all, which is a huge plus for me. The food options and prices are good and the bar whips out drinks extremely fast.

The chicken alfredo my wife got was delicious. It had both a creamy sauce and stringy shredded cheese mixed in with fresh tomatoes and chicken. So good! I got the midnight chicken with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. It was pretty good. The sauce the chicken was in was a bit salty but still had a good flavor. The mashed potatoes were a little dry and needed salt and pepper added and the veggies were mainly bell pepper, which was a bummer. Overall it was still a good dish.

My father in law got the chocolate martini and it was amazing. My mother in law got a fruity martini that I unfortunately didn't get the name of--she said it was too sweet. Both of them loved their food. Overall this was my favorite place we went to on our vacation! We would certainly come back.

2 STARS BASED ON THE WAITRESS BEING NICE, QUICK, AND UNDERSTANDING. THE FOOD GETS 1 STAR ONLY

I came to the place because the girl I was with said the wings are awesome. I like wings so why not?

We came in and took a table and the waitress was very nice. We ordered wings, chips w/ cheese dip, plus an order of pita break and hummus.

We got the food in less than 10 minutes which seemed awfully fast. I expected it to take more time to cook the wings.

The wings did not taste right. They had that weird wing taste that you get sometimes from the skin on the wing. They definitely needed to be cooked longer. I only ate 1.

The chips came with a not so great cheese dip that tasted like nothing more than cheez whiz. I ate the chips but not the dip. It was nothing special. I thought they would have a better flavor to the food. very disappointing for the cost.

The hummus was the worst part. You could not taste even one bit of garlic. This is a major ingredient in the recipe. It looked bad like it was in a dish sitting in a refrigerator for a while. It was off colored as well. It tasted nothing like what hummus is supposed to taste like. You can buy store bought hummus that is much better. Zoes Kitchen has better hummus than this place. It was God awful. I asked the waitress if the cook tastes the hummus before serving it and she said she didn't know and went and asked the cook.

The cook came out to talk to me face to face. She said it was her personal recipe. She even said she is Turkish. I told her to add more garlic and make sure it is fresh on a daily basis. She took the hummus off the bill for us.

I do not recommend the food at this place. It is terrible. We paid out bill and I gave the waitress a good tip; it was not her fault. This is my honest opinion.
