Staying in the hotel across the street. It is a nice place to hang out. The food is better than anyplace around. They could turn up some music, since it is always very low. They are understaffed most times going there. Other than that if you want something to do it is a good place to go, if you don’t have any other plans…

Been here a few times and good bands, food is pretty good and fairly priced. But if you are not a regular you will have a tough time getting served or cashing out at the bar.

Great establishment. Great live music and great specials. Also a very nice place to shoot some pool.

A woman??? With no front teeth attempted to pick me up. Not drunk enough to accept. Offended enough to ditch my friends and walk home. NASTY!

Been there a couple of times. It’s ok, but nothing to write home about. The food they serve is typical of the venue; prices in line; again, nothing to rave about. The music, like someone else eluded to earlier seems like AC/DC tribute bands and too loud to carry on a conversation while the band in playing. I would revisit because I have friends who go there, but there are other places I prefer.

I personally do not care for the Green Parrot, or The Dirty Bird as it’s know in my circle. It’s fine to go for a quick drink after work, but that is about it. I think it is absurd that they have a bathroom attendant on the weekends. The bathrooms at McDonald’s are nicer, yet they want you to pay someone to use them? They have some okay live music, but their sound system is not set up properly for the venue, at least the times I’ve been there. It’s hard to hear the music, because the system is too loud and sounds like it’s set for a much larger room. They do have some decent drink specials during happy hour, if you can stomach the atmosphere long enough to drink them. Also pool tables and darts. The last time I was there which was about 4 months ago a giant cochroach scurried across the floor from out of the kitchen and past our table. I have not had the nerve to go back since.

Visited here two weeks ago on a saturday night. I know people who come here for happy hour, and I’d say thats why you should visit. The prices are decent and the place does have activities like darts and pool tables. When I visited there were a lot of people smoking, so that tends to bother me, but, thats their rules so if i don’t like it I know I can leave. They had live music the night I went which was pretty cool. They played a variety of classic rock songs. Dance area was a little small considering how big the place is, but, not many danced. Its seems like a pretty rough crowd at first but most are nice. They have food but its more of a dive bar kind of place, so the food is about par. Can’t really say much more than this.

Oh The Parrot… I used to live down the street from this place, many fun evenings have been had here. They used to do cheap mini pitchers of liquor on Thursday nights, not sure if they still do. Lots of pool tables, darts, and a stage for bands. However, I HATE coming here on nights when they have a band. It is always WAYTOOLOUD and I feel like it is always an ACDC tribute band playing. Pretty interesting place, probably only deserves 3 stars, but I give it 4 for our history!

The Green Parrot is a place I would have never discovered without the help of some friends because it’s not the type of place that I normally look for to hang out. However, with that said, it was a fun time I will never forget it that’s for sure. This restaurant slash pub is similar to Gator’s Dockside or Frogger’s with it’s own spin on things of course. I’m not sure why it’s called the Green Parrot as I didn’t see any parrots with the exception of the sign plastered on the exterior. On that I went in particular that had a wanna rocker band playing crazy music of which I couldn’t understand the lyrics to with old women wearing clothes that were entirely too tight for them dancing with no rythym on the dance floor. Quite entertaining actually. Drinks and prices weren’t bad. There is a full service bar that carries almost everything your heart desires and they have drink specials certain nights of the week. I would never venture here on my own, but if I had friends in tote I’d probably go back again.
