Filled with a mix of local characters and visitors-in-the-know, "The Parrot," is not your typical dive bar. As the oldest watering hole in Key West, they've got nothing to prove, and their motto, "No Snivelling," illustrates their no-nonsense approach to slinging stiff drinks. Enjoy drink specials and discounts on selected beers during their happy hour 4-7pm Monday through Thursday and 4-5: 30 pm on Fridays. Tropical breezes and ceiling fans keep the open-air bar cool, and the old-school jukebox mixes B.B. King with The Temptations and New Orleans Funk. At night, bands from around the country up the ante with a heady mix of gritty blues, rock and funk. Just to keep things interesting, the Green Parrot Ukulele Association plays once a month.
