Thirsty Parrot

Visited this bar for a drink on a Sunday afternoon. The patio is big with alot of room and perfect for a sunny day. There was a bar outside so we decided to sit at a table on the patio. Too bad we only sat out there for 10 mins because the place is covered in bees and other bugs. Couldn’t go a minute without a bee flying around us. We moved to the inside and sat at the bar. Saw some food being delivered to a customer next to us and it looked absolutely disgusting.

We visited this bar two nights in a row and had the most amazing experience ever. Our waitress Alex was so nice and gave us such great service. Even though our ball games got rained out, the staff took amazing care of us. They remembered us each time we came in and all of the locals were so friendly. We will definitely be back to the Thirsty Parrot!

My friend and I followed the Nelly music from Progressive Field and ended up here. We stayed for about an hour and had a great time. Nice music. Nice prices. Fun crowd. Great location!

We went here after an Indians game. It was busy and lively. An interesting mixture of young people and old (er) people. We got drinks quickly and didn’t see any fights. So overall a success.

Great place to hang out and cool setting, but when I checked my credit card statement, I noticed that someone added 5 extra dollars to my bill! I couldn’t believe it! It was a good thing that I checked. So I called them, and I could hear some concern in their voice when I told them my story. The person said I’d receive a call the following week (that person was not at that restaurant at that time. No problem. I understand) to get it straightened out, which never happened. Eventually I checked my credit card statement, and the problem was fixed. I’m not worried about the $ 5. The problem is someone at Thirsty Parrot is stealing from customers, and they just didn’t seem to be concerned about fixing the problem.

Skip the game and just hang out here. So close to the stadium, all the pre game is here. Cheap beer, great waitstaff. Huge crowd hangs out and goes late to the game. By the time they clear out, the early leavers from the game are coming back. They have the game on TV. I came back for the fireworks. Great view from the bar.

Not a bad place to hang out. My first time here was your typical first time at a bar before a baseball game. We didn’t wait longer than a minute or two for drinks even though they were packed. So that was really nice. We ordered the pretzel and the house made chips, both were good bar food. Great patio and great atmosphere!

We wanted a decent lunch before the baseball game & wanted a new place. The drinks were good. The food was awful! The burgers were way overdone & dry. The wings were terrible, & even the fried apps were over cooked! Just go for the drinks

Strange. Really strange. Maybe going here on Halloween was a mistake… I was the only guy there not dressed as a geisha. Again, strange. Punk rock band from Canada dancing and performing on stage. OK. Brought their parents to see them. Strange. Some guy is filming it. OK. On his phone. Strange. Bartender has an awkward expression, sort of like one might have if one’s clergyman gave him a sex toy for his birthday. A few local customers are crushed up against the wall as if someone on stage was releasing cooties into the air. All of it just so strange.
So what do you do? I say sit your butt down, buy the nice guy in a japanese dress a drink and enjoy the show! Pretty soon you’re doing shots, dancing like an idiot and stumbling out into the street hoping you didn’t give anyone your real phone number!
The Thirsty Parrot is the strangest place I’ve been in several years. I had a decent time there. The bartender was solid and the beer was cold. I might go back someday, just not on Halloween!

They bill this as a Caribbean bar but it is no more Caribbean than Jack in the Box. Not a bad place to stop and have beers before an Indians game, but the apps are pretty standard and the liquor selection is mainstream. There are some fru-​fru drinks inviting hangovers, but I would stick with beer here.

This is by far, my favorite place for a cocktail in the city. We went here after a game last year for a few dranks.
I had my first ever Pina Colada. It was definitely a sweet treat.
The clientele here was nice and the waitstaff helpful. The best part was watching the fireworks on the porch at the back of the bar, postgame. It was a great atmosphere and solid experience.

A staple for all Indians games. Before, during or after all summer long. They usually have ticket give aways for Friday night games but criteria changes how to win then. Food is solid bar food. Tall boy cans are half the price here instead of inside the stadium so drink ‘em fast. No Bud products. Only PBR, Miller Lite & Labatt in cans. Overall one of the better places to go in the summer in Cleveland before Indians games. See you on opening day 2014

I came here before and after the Indians game and I had A LOT of fun. I have no idea how this place is when a game isn’t being played but if you’re heading to an Indians game, this seems like your best bet.
Drinks were dirt cheap. And they have a really nice outdoor patio.
Also, we got here after the game before the fireworks started (it was fireworks night when we went!). Sitting out on the patio gave us a great view.

$ 3 Coors light tall boys… enough said.
We went here to pregame for an indians game and it was empty when we arrived, about 2 and a half hours before the game, but was packed by the time we went over to see first pitch.
We got the mozzarella wedges for an appetizer and they were awesome. Almost got the nachos and were glad we didn’t since the guys next to us ordered them and they looked like they were lacking much toppings… all chip not much cheese.
There’s an outside patio but we opted for inside since it was about 90 outside. The inside was open air as well but was somewhat cooler.
All in all you can’t go wrong as a pregame place of the Indians games so long as you’re looking to drink… not so much eat. Also, the mixed drinks they were pouring looked STRONG.

Ended up here instead of entering the game, and saved a ton of money. For being downtown and a stone’s throw from Jacob’s Field, it’s got awesome drink deals. ‘Pitchers’ of decent shots for $ 10, Miller Lite Pounders $ 3, not bad.
Pretty slow during the game, even on a Friday night. I was bummed to hear that they stopped serving food after the SECOND INNING, about 8pm, which is just silly. I’m sure 80% of the food is just thrown in the fryer, can’t imagine why they wouldn’t want to make some more money and have their customers stay around longer. (Our solution was to get take out from Wilberts next door and bring it back.) The patio is the reason we stayed, having to secure the seats for the firework show at the stadium.
It will do as a patio for pre and post Tribe games. Nothing special, it works. Go Tribe.

Came here before the Indians game. It conveniently located for a quick bite before the game, good ambiance but was disappointed by the lack of selection of food on the menu.
They have a small choice of burgers and appetizers and thats that. The food was decent but nothing to rave about.
I liked the music they were playing. We sat outside and seemed the music could have been a little lower… too loud is not good for socializing. You’d think this was a party the music was so loud.

Here for pattys day, the waitress gave us wrong beers, they have no green beer and no pitcher specials. On top of that they’re playing crappy techno music. Luckily they have $ 7 sandwiches. I don’t see why they opened today.

I was visiting Cleveland and was looking for a place to grab a drink between Indians games. I saw a bunch of people out on the patio area and thought I’d check it out, obviously if there’s a lot of people out there then you know it must be good.
The staff was friendly, we were seated right away but unfortunately we weren’t able to sit outside due to the large crowd. The waitstaff was on top of our drinks and we never had an empty beer on the table. The food was good, I can’t say for the Entrée’s as we ordered just appetizers but if you’re looking for someplace to grab a few beers and some appetizers before, after or even between games, this is the place!

The Thirsty Parrot IS the place to go before Indians games to get a drink, MAYBE a bite to eat. It seems to be the place to go and I couldn’t imagine how busy the other places would get if this bar didn’t exist with its enormous deck.
I’ve had chicken wings and a chicken sandwich here before and they were both good so feel free to order some food up while you are there.
For the most part I just go there for the beer pregame, and for that such need of mine to be fulfilled as nicely as it does at the Parrot, they get a 4 star rating.

My first Indians day game in 10+ years, wow. So, my friend and I stopped at the Thirsty Parrot for a drink before hand.
It is a stadium bar, with a vague Carribean theme and heavy use of aqua.
Their beer selection was typical: domestics plus a Great Lakes and Sam Adams. Their drink special was a 24oz can of coors for $ 5.00.
Their patio is the largest near the Jake [AKA: Progressive Field] [besides Panini’s] with several round tables and an outdoor bar.
Maybe it was because it was a day game, but my friend and I were the only people there under 30 or 35. It was mostly boomers wearing jean shorts and not my atmosphere.
This was my first visit to the thirsty Parrot and probably my last. If you’d like a patio near the Jake/​Progressive Field and looking for a drink before or after the game, it’s an option, but there are also plenty of other bars nearby too.
