The Thirsty Parrot is located on the south end of the main strip of Tejon, so it is an easy walk to get here from the other main bars and clubs downtown. The building has 2 floors with a dance floor and bar on each, and on most weekend nights it is full of energy. While there is a great physical atmosphere at The Thirsty Parrot, my experiences with the staff and other guests have not always been positive. There are fights at this bar pretty regularly and the environment can often feel hostile. Overall, you would be better to spend your time and money at one of the many other venues downtown

Rude, unresponsive and disrespectful security staff. Posted a review on their Facebook page (and like many others) the response was also rude, and disrespectful accusing me of lying. Odd how multiple people complain about the rude and unprofessional security staff, and every one of them are lying while the person posting for the establishment (head of security) ALWAYS states his staff MEVER does anything wrong. The business owner should address the security staff treatment of guests, and definitely shouldnt allow him to argue with ad insult people when they post reviews.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT STAFF!! Never had a bad experience. Perfect mix of bar and nighclub. The several times Ive been here, Ive always been welcomed by the doormen with smiles. Usually get bar service, but the few times Ive been waited on the waitresses are always super sweet and hustling. Usually packed, never drama and good crowd. Small smoking patio though, always full. Favorite place to dance with my girls in the Springs and only place I go downtown. Not sure if its a franchise or not, but has local vibe. Love it!

Cant go wrong here!! - Not sure what lamEwoman is talking about - My bartender was smoking hot, super friendly - WAY RAD! Our bachelor party came down and got rocked - not the huge bar tab we thought. It was super busy, but didnt take too long to grab a drink. DJ downstairs was good, not great - Wait staff is pleasant to look at. Beats the hell out wanna-be country bars and poser night clubs. PS - Leave your striped button upshirts and argyle vests at home cause this isnt your type of place.

THE BOUNCERS ARE SO RUDE AND RACIST! FEMALES ARE NOT ALLOWED WITH RIPPED DESIGNER JEANS. IF YOUR HAIR IS A CERTAIN WAY STYLED WITH BRAIDS. IF YOUR DRESS IS TOO SHORT WITH CERTAIN DESIGNS ETC. DONT EVEN GET STARTED ON THE MEN ITS SO RIDICULOUS! NO BRAIDS OR HAIR CUT DESIGNS, NO GOLD TEETH, NO JORDANS! WOW..THIS PLACE IS DEFINITELY NOT A PLACE TO GO IN COLORADO. IM EMBARRASSED FOR THE OWNER WHO ALLOWS THIS TYPE OF STUFF TO GO ON! This place gets noooo stars and will NEVER GET MY BUSINESS

Left a huge line outside, while tons of people left during the night time bar hours. What they seem to not realize, its that the more you make people wait, the more people leave, and you lose on revenue from drinks. They told us that they werent going to let people in for a half hour, then told everybody they were closed at 1238. You could see that there was space in the bar for people. This is in Colorado Springs, not Vegas. Get a clue.

One of the security guards at the door is a complete ass hole. Literally just rude for no reason. Looks at you with suspicion and contempt, like he wants to throw you out before he even lets you in. Wait times at both bars are horrible. And the line to get upstairs is always held up. For every six people that come down, they might let up two. But if you can get past those three things, its a decent place to spend Friday night

When you first walk the place seems pretty cool, and the atmosphere is fun. However, the smell of urine overwhelms the entire downstairs. The staff is very rude. It takes a long time to get a drink. The clientele is rather ghetto. The drinks are horrible. The bartenders have no idea how to make a good drink! This is one of the worst places in Colorado Springs! Definitely dont take a date here!

The music was good, the drinks were good but the bartender that was working on Saturday night was just plain rude. Terrible customer service and horrible attitude!! I havent been there in a long time and there is usually a big crowd, but the miserable girl working the bar probably chased them off. Also, why did drinks go from 3$ then to 5$ and then up to 7$ for the exact same drink?

I absolutely hate the bouncers here! They are just as bad as the mansion! They said I looked drunk when I hadnt even had a beer.. Witch I would have had at this establishment if I were aloud in! I cant think of any other place that would allow their bouncers to blindly turn people always in such rude manner! I will never go back and will make sure my friends dont either..

This place has turned around a lot in my 4 years living in the Springs. I used to tell people to avoid it, but its actually a fun little place to hang out. Has a little bit of a dive bar feel, buts its a great place now. They should remodel for some curb appeal, but other than that its quite alright.

Staff and service are good. Even though it gets crowded there is still space to move around. The DJ plays the same set over and over. Its not great the first time so it being on repeat kind of sucks. All they need are better DJs who actually DJ.

Overall, a good place to go for some "cheaper" drinks. They have some pretty good drink specials. The place is OK. They have a DJ playing music, but its usually not very "exciting" to go there. Good place to go, but not one of my favorites

Been going there for a couple months now since a friend told me about it. There is no cover charge and staff were cool. The DJ ROCKED the HOUSE! I go there Saturdays and sometimes on Thursday....I think its the same DJ

Good music, tasty drinks, lots of flat screens to watch sports on. But lots of drunk military guys. One randomly came and sat at our table and tryed to fight my husband. Not a good time. Security was helpful tho.....

The drinks are good & decently priced ($4 fridays) but the bartender was completly rude & the service was very poor. Took 20 mins to get a beer. Really? Dont think ill be back here anytime soon.

Good place for music, darts, and drinks. We enjoyed every aspect. The food and drink options are good and the staff was friendly. A fun change of pace to some of the other options downtown.

**EDIT** Service and staff are great. Lines arent long for drinks and the staff treats everyone fair. Prices are hard to beat as well. The house DJs can use some work though.

Love it! Always fun, very packed. Takes a while to get drinks, but cheap drinks. Favorite stop when bar hopping downtown. Have not tried the food.. very nightclub, bar scene.
