"While The Green Parrot’s nightly happy hour specials draw all types of crowds, it’s generally more of a locals' place. But it’s full of the kind of locals who aren’t annoyed that you're invading their turf (yes, your slightly sunburned face gives you away). Like any bar that’s more than 125 years old, you’re not coming here for polished marble countertops and sleek designer seating. The bar is made of wood, the stools are made of wood, and the décor is pure Americana with flags and loads of musical paraphernalia. The only way to stand out is to order something other than an ice cold beer. (But honestly, don't bother; a cold draft is de rigueur here.)" - Jennifer M. Wood
