The Thirsty Parrot IS the place to go before Indians games to get a drink, MAYBE a bite to eat. It seems to be the place to go and I couldn't imagine how busy the other places would get if this bar didn't exist with its enormous deck.
I've had chicken wings and a chicken sandwich here before and they were both good so feel free to order some food up while you are there.
For the most part I just go there for the beer pregame, and for that such need of mine to be fulfilled as nicely as it does at the Parrot, they get a 4 star rating.
