Busy, busy, busy. Great bar atmosphere. Was there for a pre-Guardians game beer. Will likely visit this establishment again!

This bar is mainly a pregame spot for games at Progressive Field and it is always SO crowded. It takes way too long to get drinks and unless you're one of the first people there, you'll have to fit for a place to stand let alone sit. They do have a giant fan inside but it still gets so hot due to the overcrowding and lack of space. read more

Horrible service. Waited 30 minutes and no one came. Tried multiple different locations at bar and helped other people multiple times first

This sits right across the street from Progressive stadium. There's a bar outside and one inside. It was very busy, but we were able to find a small spot outside. The staff was nice. Due to the location of the place, prices are high, but cheaper than on the stadium. read more

I was in Cleveland for the D1 wrestling championships. We parked next to the thirsty parrot and decided to give it a try, even though it's a bar and I don't drink.Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Waitress, Michele was superb, efficient, cute and friendly. Ambiance had a fun atmosphere, great music. Highly recommend read more

A historic watering hole by the Jake. Any visit for a baseball game isn't complete without a few beers here before / after a game. Lots of room to hang out with a nice patio with views of the stadium. read more

E 9th Paninis is no longer so this is where I hang before and after Guardians games. They are a high volume bar and somehow keep up with demand. It is always a blast at Thirsty Parrot! read more

Great food great atmosphere and it's amazing at what it does a sports bar that give people a great experience

The waitress at the bar with the tye dye shirt had a bit of an attitude. Probably didn't like the fact that I didn't order alcohol. Left over a 30% tip even though she didn't really deserve it. read more

Love this bar before and Indians game. Bartender Jim provides great service, always remembers your name and makes the atmosphere a good time. Come here and pregame you won't be disappointed. read more

Convenient bar right next to the cavs/Indians stadiums downtown. Great spot to grab drinks or an app before the game. If you like nachos i highly recommend the bbq nachos they are amazing! Ok beer selection on draft too Not sure that i would necessarily go here for date night but i think its great for groups or a stop before the game! read more

We stop by the thirsty parrot after leaving an Indians game to kill some time before leaving downtown. It looks like an average bar with a great outdoor patio. The day we went it was extremely hot outside and I don't think they had any air on. Though all the windows were up. The drinks were good and pretty cheap- which is a major win in my book! I don't believe they serve any food- which was a bummer but there is a bbq place right next door if you do get hungry. I think this place is a great option to hangout before/during/after an Indians game because it is right across the street from the stadium. I will be back for sure in the near future. read more

Stopped by patio before an Indians game. There's not much service, you need to wait at the bar and get someone's attention. Once we were served however the bartender was very good. We ordered the nachos, nice and crispy but they came with very little taco meat. The salsa and cheese topping or cold, so it didn't do much for the warmth of the meat. But it's super convenient to walk to the Indians game. And the staff were very nice. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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! read more

Thirsty Parrot - Game day ready! - New American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This is the party spot, before and after a baseball game. Large outdoor and indoor space. Music blasting. Shots being poured. Bartenders are quick, but it still can be tough to fight through the crowds to get their attention. Good people watching. A good hangout to spend some time with friends. read more

Location is great: right outside center field from the baseball stadium. The outdoor patio is great for sunny days before or after games. The crowd is also lovely and fun. But the overpriced bad beer knocks this down to a 3 star spot. read more

Great outdoor bar and live DJ. It's right next to Progressive Field and the Q so it's a great place to hang out at before game time. read more

Thirsty Parrot - Great outdoor bar and a dj. It's right next to Progressive Field and the Q so it's a great place to hang before game time. - New American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

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. read more

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. read more

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 Entree'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! read more

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. read more

When my family and I went to the Indians game the other day we decided to stop in here and have some beverages before the actually game. I am not much of a drinker but do like the occasional beer. The Thirsty Parrot is a fun place to go and have a beer before a game and to just sit and relax. I will admit that it does get a little crowded and very loud, and even outside. But, this was overlooked with the sun shining and knowing we were headed to a good game. We did order some appetizers - potato skins and chicken strips- and they were your standard bar fare. The prices are reasonable as far as food and beverages go. The crowd is a little young for me, but I am okay with that as long as my kids are having fun. Overall, a good place to visit for drinks before an event. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Thirsty Parrot - St pattys menu. No green beer or pitcher specials - New American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

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. read more

$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. read more

Thirsty Parrot is nothing more than a stadium bar with a restaurant attached. I think it's a good place to hang out. Carribean theme is summery and fun. Drinks we're relatively strong for a stadium bar. Served in plastic cups of course. My friend and I ordered a shaker of Parrot Punch and another of the Cuyahoga River Water. Both were good and strong enough to make it a good buy, though to call drinks of this 'shots' is a misnomer. You can drink this stuff straight easily. So we ordered some food too. My cheeseburger was incredible for a stadium bar type place. Perfectly melted cheese. Quality toppings. Wow, what a great deal. My friend got a buffalo chicken wrap and he said it was realllly hot and saucy. Both were served with ranch-seasoned potato chips. The seasoning was great, but the plain chips that didnt get any seasoning weren't as good. This is a bar where you will run into herds of 21-26 year olds getting blasted before or after Cleveland sporting events. If you expect that going in, you will not be disappointed by the Thirsty Parrot. read more

Great service, reasonably priced drinks, and a fun atmosphere. It didn't look like a place I'd actually want to eat at. It was right across from Progressive Field and had a huge deck and a good crowd. I usually go here before concerts or games and always have a great time. read more

We were in town for a baseball game and heard the wings here were good. I would give them 3-3.5 as they were pretty good. You couldn't split your order with two different sauces which was disappointing. Service was good prices seemed excellent but I live in Chicago so everything seems cheaper. I would go back for the wings again. We also loved the atmosphere and how close it was to everything else. read more

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. read more

Thirsty Parrot by far is the most diverse place in 5 points..The Thirsty Parrot is laid back, predominantly for people of color...it has a healthy mix of women.the best part is the women heavily outnumbered women but it was enough not for me to complain I was very satisfied. Saturday is a great night to go.. Good drink specials $9 pitchers..cant beat it,..So I will give 4 out of 5 beers read more

Nice place before the game just needs more supervision and alert bartenders. Last week went to the game and stopped for a couple drinks unfortunately my first date roofey my drink. He works close to the parking area on OT and his name is Dino/Dean. Please be watchful for others safety. read more

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! read more

Food was pretty good and the beer selection was great! Loved being able to sit on the patio, the patio was massive and had great service. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap, but I was most impressed with their French fries! Woah! Such an interesting cut but very well prepared! The best part is the location in relation to the Venues!! Wow! So close and convenient!! Definitely a must if you're going to watch the Indiana or going to The Q. read more

We didn't eat. I'm always a little skeptical of Caribbean themed bars in very non-tropical areas. But large open space for indoor seating, plenty of room at bars, huge patio, and ideal Gateway location for Tribe and Cavs make it worth a stop. I was told the $15 minimum on cards is when they're busy to discourage 20-somethings from closing tab after every drink. Although we never have a problem ordering $15 worth anyway. Decent drink selection. read more

I thought this was a good place for a pre-game drink or three. Prices were reasonable and the highlight came when the bartender offered us a shaker full of "riverwater". Basically they dumped a bunch of liquor into this shaker, and handed it to us with a strainer and shot glasses. Definitely looked like riverwater, a nasty brown, but the taste....well it wasn't bad. Each shot we poured from the same shaker tasted different. And at $10 for the shaker, we got eleven shots. Not bad. read more

The owner was rude to my party. We held a company event there and one of the members of our party was verbally assaulted by another person at the bar. This person was a good friend of the manager and we were asked to leave. Otherwise drinks were average and they do have a nice patio, but none of us will visit again. read more

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. read more
