Daily Dose: Green Parrot, Key West

When it comes to grabbing a drink at almost any hour of the day, there’s really no better place in Key West than the Green Parrot. Locals have been flocking to this institution since 1890 for the unique combination of brooding biker bar and lighthearted tropical oasis where anything goes. With a stellar jukebox and live bands throughout the week, there’s usually a crowd spilling onto the sidewalks and even across the street to the bench at the Courthouse Deli, and everyone seems to know everyone. For the true Parrot experience, order a round of Root Beer Barrels, a shot of root beer schnapps plunged into a half pint of Miller Light, and then chug-a-lug! And don’t forget to snack on the freshly popped popcorn at the back of the bar.
