Maybe it was a fluke but my first time in the Parrot I had a bad experience. The bartender was this fat girl who was more interested in playing on the internet at the end of the bar with her lesbian girlfriends than actually talking with the customers and pouring us drinks. I felt like the left out high school kid with the girls giggling among themselves at the end of the table. My advice, take an extra ten minutes and drive downtown to a bar with good service.

this is a chill bar with new management and awsome bartenders and with new owners comes better food and a much more chill atmospheremersupple

Since taking over The Blue Parrot the new owners seem to have made it their mission to teach heterosexuals what being a minority is like. They claim it is their goal to turn The Parrot into a safe and fun place for Gay’s and Straights alike but the more I go into the Parrot the more I feel an outcast. The American flag has been replaced with a gigantic rainbow flag and they have fired all but one of the original staff members replacing them with an almost entirely gay/bisexual staff (only one lone hetero remains). If their true intention is to have a Gay only bar in NoPo they are sure to succeed at this point. If they do want to keep any of what remains of there loyal customer base they had better stop trying to teach the hetero folk how if feels to be an out casted minority. Note to owners - Not all of us are out to get you, some of us welcome diversity and you should embrace it as well.

We are the new owners of the Blue Parrot Saloon, effective January 1, 2009. We have spent the past 6 months cleaning up the bar, changing the environment so our patrons can have a fun, safe place to enjoy. This is a Neighborhood bar and our customers reflect a diverse group of people: young/older, straight/gay, blue collar/white collar. Our motto is: "Where everyone's welcome". In reality, this means come have fun and know we work hard to insure you are given respect by our staff and our customers. Please come check us out and you decide.

Shitty north portland dive bar, and I mean that in a good way. The drinks are cheap, the staff sucks unless they know you and the clientele is rough on the eyes. New Years Eve will present you with more fat girl tits than you can spit complimentary cookies from their scary buffet at. Again I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Being the Blue Parrots karaoke queen i'd have to say to who ever wrote a bad review that you obviously are in to bars where they allow you to smoke crack while sitting at the bar. After going to various bars in Oregon I've come to favor the Parrot. With all of the regulars who frequent, you can't find a better crowd of people.And having the bar staff around there is no better place to go. And the bitch who was trying to talk shit about Glenda, wrong fucken thing too do. You just opened a door that you are going 2 wish u left closed.

The worse karaoke in town. The kj is full of crap, claims he can download ie STEAL your karaoke track for you to sing but has never delivered for me. only about 500 songs in the whole catalog. Avoid this place if you enjoy singing on good equipment

I am rally amazed how old the cmments are for this place. I am sure all taverns had a troubled past, but hell times change as we do as well. I found it to be a very comfortable bar to hang at for all people of all sexual orientations and races. I am gay myself and get along great with the staff and patrons. The singing at night rocks too. I would check it out regardless of all the od comments shown!

Dive bar without any of portland's scenesters (I love portland's bar scene, but you gotta take a break from that crap sometimes). Strongest drinks I've found north of sewickly's, charming bar staff and a great townie atmosphere. And yes, there's definitely a sad old-bar crowd, but with cheap strong drinks and video poker? You're going to get that crowd.

Damn right about the bartenders. They're all good, but the reason to go back is Tor, the best bartender in the whole city. First, he's got a terrific personality. Second, I've never seen a guy sling drinks like that and still manage to keep his cool while providing thoughtful, personalized service. TOR ROCKS!!!!

I just recently started going to the Parrot, so I don't know what it was like before. True, it's no fun watching the owner chew out the barstaff, and she detracts from the atmosphere. But the bartenders are awesome, and they're the reason that I go back.

I go to the Mock Crest now. To the owner Glenda+++++++++++++++++++ my darling fuckin sell the place before you drive it so deep it will never come back. Used to be a great friggen bar. But now just a total skank hole for skanks like the owner and her various boy toys, +++++++++HINT++++++++++++++++++++++++ boy toys should be attractive! lmao It is full of nothing but video crack heads and complete jerks, no more good old funny regulars whoa re oh so entertaining to watch. sad about losing that element.

almost got on the map until the owner made a habit of screwing people and some bullet holes showed up about two months back. used to be good, used to go there all the time, but not anymore.
