Green Parrot Bar

Old Town's beloved corner bar and live-music room, in a building that opened as a grocery in 1890, away from the bustle of Duval Street.

The Green Parrot occupies a corner building on Whitehead Street that opened as a grocery store in 1890 and later became a bar known to sailors from the nearby naval station. It took its present name in the 1970s and, under its long-time owner, has become Key West's great live-music bar, with an eclectic, mostly blues- and roots-leaning line-up of bands playing almost every night.
