Panama City Beach always has something new and exciting happening up and down the strip. But in 2025, some new top attractions, new nightlife, and a new restaurant are coming to town. We are ecstatic to welcome these new local hot spots, and we know you will be, too. Let's look at what is coming to Panama City Beach in 2025.
Top Golf coming to Pier Park
Top Golf announced it had broken ground on its two-level venue adjacent to Pier Park. This is the first venue in the Florida Panhandle of its kind. Top Golf is a modern golf experience where anyone, including people who have never picked up a golf club or those who want to perfect their swing, can participate in the sport in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Top Golf Panama City Beach will have 74 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays spanning two levels.
Nearly half of TopGolf's attendance (48%) comes from 18-to-34-year-olds. More than half of Topgolf's attendance comes from non-golfers (51%).
Top Golf will include a full-service restaurant and bar manned by executive chefs, a 22-foot video wall, more than 140 HDTVs, an outdoor patio, and music. Enhanced, deluxe bays and an outdoor area with yard games will also offer the prime spot for team outings, family gatherings, business meetings, and celebrations. Each bay will have lounge-type furniture or high-top tables where groups can cheer on other Players.
Top Golf is expected to open next to Pier Park behind Walmart in the Summer of 2025.
Dolly Parton's Pirate Voyage Dinner and Show Opens in PCB in 2025
America’s beloved country queen Dolly Parton is opening Dolly’s Pirate Voyage Dinner and Show in PCB. The Pirate Voyage combines pirates, mermaids, exciting acrobatics, pyrotechnics, and music written by Dolly Parton herself for a fun and unique dining experience. Guests will love the delicious four-course pirate feast while enjoying the entertainment. There will even be a chance to interact with animals featured in the show.
There are only two other places like this in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and Myrtle Beach South Carolina. This new Panama City Beach location will be the perfect place to enjoy dinner and a show in the Florida Panhandle. The venue will be able to accommodate large groups making it a great place for a group outing.
Dolly Parton’s Pirate Voyage is expected to open adjacent to Pier Park off Back Beach Road in the Spring of 2025.
Tootsies Orchid Lounge Returning to PCB
Nashville-based Tootsies Orchid Lounge opened its doors to country music lovers in Pier Park in 2008, and the popular hangout is set to relocate. Tootsies has plans to reopen to its new location on Thomas Drive where Spinnaker once was. This new beachfront location will be a great place for this lively nightlife venue.
Tootsies is known for its great live music, good food, cold drinks, and fun atmosphere. This is a place to dance the night away and maybe even run into celebrities like Kid Rock. With this relocation, the beloved Tootsies is expected to expand significantly. Planned opening for 2025.
