"This is a true dive bar in every sense of the word, and it’s the go-to spot for locals looking for a good time. There aren’t fancy drinks or food (unless free popcorn counts), but there is incredible live music every day. The staff is friendly and quick, meaning less time waiting for a drink and more time people-watching and checking out the cool music memorabilia found all over the walls." - Amber Love Bond
"If there is one bar that represents everything great about going out in Key West, it’s Green Parrot. This place has all the Keys nightlife staples: excellent nightly live music, a wooden interior that’ll make you feel a little like a pirate, and bar seating that makes it easy to befriend strangers. This place is a well-deserved classic, and it’s just as fun at 2pm as it is at 2am. The building has been standing since the late 1800s and if you’d like to know what the scene looks like before you go, they have a live webcam streaming all day, every day. " - ryan pfeffer

"Chances are that when you return home after your trip to Key West , someone will ask you if you went to the Green Parrot. It's that kind of iconic bar, the kind your parents' friends ended up atover spring break in college long ago.The bar started asalocal grocery store about a hundred years ago; the building became the Brown Derby, a bar that was popular first with the submarine sailors from the naval base down the street. When the naval base closed in the '70s, the bar transitioned into a hangout for fishermen andlocal sailors andthe hippies that began to drift into town. The Green Parrotstill has the air of a honky-tonk, lit exclusively by spotlightand neon, with a roster of almost-nightly live music, mostly of the bluesy, rollicking sort."
