When this place opened up a few years back I thought great another tourist bar in Key West. But then after I visited a couple times I realize that it's actually a pretty fun place and it's not necessarily made for tourists. They have a single pool table on the side which gets constant use. The music is 90s grunge and metal. It's fun music. They have videos on the TVs to go with the music. The drinks are OK pretty standard downtown Key West drinks. This bar seems to catch more locals and tourists which is great in my book. There's a smoking patio outback which is nice. The seats in some of the tables are made out of tailgate of trucks which is kind of fun. They also sell cool T-shirts. It's worth a stop.

This place was very interesting! I enjoyed the time we spent here though it wasn't exactly hopping when we came. Pretty chill.

Great atmosphere if you love women and motorcycles. Bartender was great! Fun vending machine too. Don't think they serve food here?

Semi-dive bar (translation -- not an overpriced tropical-themed tourist trap like oh so many Key West establishments). Lots of locals and lots of fun. Don't expect anything fancy. If that's what you're after, you will be disappointed. Rock / heavy metal music with music videos playing on the TVs. A fun place!

Cool decorations!

We finally found a quiet bar to have a drink and talk with some new friends...they new about this place being locals...now you do too! Great service, good drinks, and cool decorations!

Great place to drop in and drink and talk and drink and ... you get the picture. Bartenders were great - friendly and fast.

Friendliest dog bar ever!
Daniel F.

A great staff, great prices, best place for college ball imo. Don't like the smoke tho. This is the dog friendliest bar I've ever seen! Cheers Tats!

Cassidy M.

Cold AC, colder drinks, great prices and a kick ass staff! Bring your dogs and kick back and relax. A great spot where the locals frequent and the visitors will feel at home too!

It's a dive bar through and through but I happen to be a big fan of dive bars! However, this one fell flat on it's face with the service. I wouldn't say the place was packed but there were not any open seats at the bar. I posted up the best I could but for the better part of 15 minutes both bartenders didn't even come to my side of the bar. I then moved to the other side and waited another 10 minutes to be served (at which point the bartender said "Didn't I just serve you?" Um, no, you most definitely did not. This place has two saving graces: 1) A water jug full of cold water for the taking, off in the corner. Love that. 2) A popcorn machine that had DELICIOUS popcorn! YES. If you can manage to get a beverage then I think you won't mind Green Parrot's (very) relaxed atmosphere and delightful little perks. My takeaway is for the staff to mix in some work to go along with their chatting with the regulars...

They have a great beer selection (including Lagunitas IPA from California, WTF?), good service...what's not to like? The location is a reasonable walk from the cruise ships too.

This is a true dive bar in the best sense--dark, loud, unapologetically weird, and absolutely unforgettable. The drinks flow, the stories blur, and at some point you realize you're no longer entirely sure how you ended up where you are... but you're fine with it. Now. The ladies' room. If you know, you know. Let's just say there was a handsome fellow, a conch shell, and an air of mystery that felt very on-brand for Key West. Details are intentionally vague--some things are better left unexplained--but whatever was happening worked. Worked very well. My nieces? They fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Completely enchanted. Equal parts confused and delighted. A core memory was made, whether they asked for it or not. Shirt Club is the kind of place where stories are born, logic is optional, and you leave with inside jokes you can't fully explain to anyone who wasn't there. It's chaotic, hilarious, and 100% Key West. Would we go back? Absolutely. Would we ever expect to understand everything that happens there? Not a chance -- and that's exactly the point.

First off, nothing says tropics like Rum! The name is all that needs to be said. Nothing more... nothing less. It's a small and it was packed. Elbow to elbow, which says nothing other than you know this place will be good. My wife is especially cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs when it comes to anything Chesney and Blue Chair rums! You had us at Kenny Chesney Island Girl, and we just had to find a spot and enjoy. And we Most certainly did! It was sublime and refreshing. I was even able to walk out with a souvenir Rum Bar hat (purple). Without a doubt, we will be back and we're telling all of our familia and friends of this place! Thank you for the local experience and as always, Enjoy & Happy Drinking!

There was live music playing, pool tables, and even some video games, so there's plenty to keep you and the family entertained while you hang out. Kids are allowed in, but they aren't allowed to sit at the bar. It definitely feels like one of those places where you can lose track of time in the best way. They also have a merch area with hoodies, stickers, and other souvenirs if you want to take a little piece of the experience home. And knowing it's one of the oldest bars in the Keys just adds to the charm and history of the place. The service was quick, you walk up to the bar and order then find a place to sit. Super chill and laid back. One fun thing you have to try is tossing a quarter into the fish's mouth outside... test your luck and see if you can land it! Can't forget the drinks! The rum punch is to die for... super refreshing and perfect for the Key West heat. Overall, such a fun stop if you're in town. Definitely worth checking out! Fun fact: - it used to be a morgue and ice house back in the day. it also used to be the original home of Sloppy Joes, before they moved to Duvall St.

The decor is seductive in such a tasteful and classy way, everything is so romantic. It's beautiful. Cozy, intimate booths. Sparkling chandeliers flickering in candlelight. Ambient lighting. It is a perfect place to end your evening with your partner. We made reservations the morning of, on a Wednesday evening for our anniversary, and were seated promptly. Service was incredible from start to finish. I appreciate their ipad menus with questions to ask your partner, peruse the menu, and read about the origins. There are plenty of drinks and deserts with double entendre names, they're so fun. Huge positive that they have virgin drinks, and several to choose from. Both deserts we tried were out of the world delicious. The missionary crisp ice cream and flavor was 10/10, no notes to improve. Key lime from behind was the best key lime I've had in my life and quickly became the best we have tried on Key West. Incredible and what a lovely place!!

Romantic lighting and private booths made for some good ambiance. The iPad menus were great and very useful in selecting desserts and drinks. Everything on order is accompanied by a double entendre title, which makes it fun to pick. Candy rimmed beer was good; and the berry crisp and ice cream offerings were tasty. Honestly too big, even for two. But they were trying to do something different. To know: they do not have a license for hard liquor. A fun spot to have a sweet treat. Maybe don't bring the kids.
