Green Parrot Bar

Experience Key West Live Music at the Historic Green Parrot Bar

Established in 1890 as Antonio Sanchez’s grocery store, the Green Parrot Bar has transformed through eras—from the World War II era as The Brown Derby to a 1960s hippie haven—into a premier destination for Key West live music. Reimagined by visionary Judy Sullivan and enhanced in 1983 by Jim and Linda Bean, this landmark earned accolades including Playboy Magazine’s “The Best Bars in America” in 2000. Now under the management of John Vagnoni and Pat Croce, the venue hosts an eclectic lineup of events such as poetry slams, hurricane parties, tattoo contests, and electrifying performances from renowned local and national bands.

Located at 601 Whitehead Street, Key West, FL 33040, the historic dive bar operates daily from 10am to 2am (Sunday–Thursday) and from 10am to 4am (Friday & Saturday), with enticing Happy Hour specials on Monday and Tuesday from 4–7pm. Regular community events include Charity Bingo every Monday from 7–9pm, a vibrant Ukulele Night on the first Wednesday of each month at 8pm, and a festive Tradesman Day every September, featuring local art and cultural tributes.

Celebrated as Key West’s Best Live Music Venue for 11 consecutive years and praised by publications such as Playboy, Condé Nast Traveler, and Vogue, the Green Parrot Bar continues to define the true essence of Key West nightlife. Its carefully curated vintage 100 CD Rowe jukebox and rich history make it a must-visit destination for unforgettable live music experiences.
