The Blue Parrot has been a St. Pete Beach dive bar institution for decades, the kind of place where the regulars outnumber the tourists and everyone knows the bartender’s name. Cold beer, cheap drinks, and a no-frills beach atmosphere that feels genuinely local in a stretch of Gulf Boulevard that’s gotten increasingly polished over the years. It’s the antidote to the resort bars up and down the strip — unpretentious, affordable, and fundamentally fun. Come in sandy from the beach and order whatever’s cold. No judgment, no dress code, no problem.
