The Portal Downtown

The Portal Downtown is a friendly board game lounge designed to bring people together without screens. For a small per‑person fee you can enjoy hours of tabletop fun with friends or family, choosing from classic favorites such as Monopoly and Scrabble to modern hits like Catan, Ticket to Ride and Pandemic. The curated library also includes puzzles, LEGOs and party games for every age, with staff on hand to offer recommendations. After picking your games, build your own custom soda or lemonade at the bar and snack on treats like popcorn, Dippin’ Dots and other board game‑friendly bites. The Portal keeps its environment welcoming and family‑focused, with children under 16 accompanied by an adult and plenty of games tailored for younger players. If you fall in love with a game you can purchase a copy from the shop to take home. Whether you’re looking for an affordable afternoon outing, hosting a birthday or just want to discover something new, this downtown Panama City spot offers a laid‑back space where you can slow down, connect and play.
