Rick's is a pretty common stop in key west. It's a very large setup with multiple bars inside (I…read morebelieve 6). Each bar kind of had a different vibe to it but we wound up at the "club" one both nights. There's three bars set up with 1 or 2 bartenders at both. It wasn't too hard to get drinks. The dance floor was usually pretty full with people dancing and even though there are signs everywhere saying "no drinks on the floor" everyone had drinks out there. Lots of flashing lights and fog really set the "club" atmosphere. There were a bunch of little tables to sit (or stand) at if you didn't feel like dancing. Overall a good place to stop with reasonably priced drinks.

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...

We hit it on at the end of the night, for a night-cap beer, and found it to be fun with lots of potential. There wasn't a seat to be hand in the place but we were able to snag an open spot at the bar for one round (very lucky!). The bartender was very inviting and she was FAST with the beers! There was live music on stage, which sounded really good, and the overall vibe of the place was chill (despite the packed house). I could see why people flock here, it's a solid hang out.

Each time I have come in here, the live music has been great and the drinks are delicious. The large venue with its high ceilings makes it feel open and airy.

They have a nice retail/merchandise store towards the back of the bar/restaurant. Definitely make this a stop during your stay in Key West.

We decided to go to this drag show Friday night. The waitstaff was wonderful. Very friendly, very…read morequick & personable. The downside was the drinks were awful- the names looked fun on the menu- but they all tasted the same-sweet and boring. The show. Well this is the 4the drag show I've been to & the first I walked out of. It is not as though the talent wasnt entertaining- they were, but the 3 entertainers needed to have a part in the show- not BE the entire show. It became very redundant seeing these 3 come out and do the same routine to different music for 2 hours. Their outfits and routine wasn't exciting. Lastly- the audience understands they work on tips- it's implied...no need to repeatedly tell the guests to cough up cash. A 2 hour show with 3 entertainers is an hour too long. Tip- cut back on the introductions/opening- roll right into the show- you could probably squeeze in another showtime per night.

There was a struggle with getting a reservation online so I contacted the venue to reserve a VIP booth. They repeatedly asked for my credit card information and then I had to give them the information again upon arrival. We were seated in the VIP booth and immediately met with a server to order drinks. We thought everything was going well. The show started and we were delighted! The dancers came out and moved around the tables and came to the VIP booths last. Often, the dancers would stand with their backs to us at the VIP section. I expected a little more interaction with the dancers as we were sitting in the VIP section. We paid more money to be there. I recommend the dancers pay more attention to those sitting in the VIP section and start your journey throught the crowd in the VIP section.
