BarFly's Review of Blue Parrot
Friendly North Portland bar that hosts karaoke on the weekends.
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.
