A Girls Night Should Feel Easy Before It Even Starts

The hardest part of girls night is getting everyone to agree. Once that happens, the night should feel simple. Panda is the kind of spot you can drop into the group chat without a long debate — cocktails, food, vibe, and a real reservation, all in one place.

Browse the drinks menu and food menu to plan your dinner. Happy-hour prices apply at the bar only on selected offers; see the happy hour menu for times and selections.

Make Your Panda Reservation

Book your table for 1–9 guests through OpenTable. For 10 or more guests, use the private party inquiry page. Groups of up to 18 can book the private room at Panda Harlem.

Pick the Right Booking Path

A smaller girls night should be easy to reserve. A bigger group should be easy to plan. Panda gives both options without making you chase down the next step.

Why Panda Works for Girls Night Out in Harlem

There are plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood. Fewer of them feel built for girls night — drinks worth ordering, food worth sharing, and a room that lifts the table.

01

Cocktails that start the night right

The first round sets the tone. Panda's bar gives the night somewhere to begin before the table even fills in.

02

Food built for sharing

Dumplings, bao buns, scallion pancakes, mains, rice, and noodles — the kind of menu you order across the table.

03

A room with actual energy

Warm lighting, music with a pulse, and a crowd that already feels like it's out for the night.

04

Easy to turn dinner into the whole night

The bar and kitchen are in the same room, so the night can go from one drink to dinner to another round without moving the group.

Dinner and Drinks Under One Roof

The best girls nights at Panda often start with one simple idea: “let’s grab a drink.” Then the dumplings show up. Then a second round. Then it turns into dinner.

Plan dinner and cocktails in one place. Choose an available dinner time for 1–9 guests through OpenTable. For a private event or a group of 10+, use the private party inquiry.

The Kinds of Girls Nights Panda Was Built For

A few of the ways the room gets used most. None of them need a plan more complicated than “let’s go to Panda.”

01

After-work cocktails

Two seats at the bar, one round to decompress, and the option to make it a longer night.

02

Friday night dinner

A table, a few rounds, and food made for ordering across the group.

03

Birthday girls night

Cocktails, shareable plates, and a room that already feels like a celebration. For birthday-specific planning, see the birthday dinner page.

04

Happy hour catch-up

Happy-hour prices apply at the bar only on selected offers. See the happy hour menu for current times and selections.

05

06

10+ group celebration

If your group has 10 or more guests, use Panda's private party inquiry so the team can help plan it.

The Room Does Half the Work

A real girls night needs more than a menu. It needs good lighting, music that lifts the table, and a room you actually want to stay in. Panda has that mix — warm light, a bar with character, and a crowd that's already out for the night.

The energy is already there. You just sit down, order the first round, and let the night happen.

Panda also works as a strong cocktail bar in Harlem and a real restaurant near you when the night needs both.
