A Nuevo Latino Bistro and Bar
The Parrot Club was established in 1996 by Gigi Zafero Figueroa and Emilio Figueroa, and quickly became a San Juan favorite. The historic Old San Juan building with 20 foot high beamed ceilings and a palm filled brick courtyard is designed with island colors and an open kitchen. The Parrot Club reflects the warm and sexy Latino-Caribbean feeling. A place for friends to gather for authentic tropical cocktails, hot Latino music, and the flavors of the island. We call it "Nuevo Latino Cuisine" and our creations have elevated some of the islands' favorite dishes to new culinary heights. Every creation from the kitchen and the bar is done with the tropical Latino concept in mind, from the passion fruit daquiris (Parrot Passion) and the bacalaitos (cod fritters) with spicy crab salad, to the dulce de leche cheesecake.
The Parrot Club is open seven (7) days a week for dinner from 6pm-11pm, and until 12am on Fridays and Saturdays. Lunch is served Monday thru Friday from 11:30am-4pm, and our San Juan City magazine award winning Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm-4pm. Live Latin music gets people moving on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays after 8pm. We have a long bar area with a great bar scene. Large tables are accommodated in the lovely courtyard, and we have several set menus from groups over 15. The dress code is casual-elegant. Shorts are welcome however we do not allow men in tank tops. Our main room seating capacity is about 65-70 people, and the semi-private balcony has a seating of about 28 people. Children are welcome and we have several children's menu choices. Lunch and Brunch are great for families, and the afternoon Mojito Cubano or Mimosa at the bar.
The Parrot Club has been fortunate to receive international recognition, and has been featured on the Discovery channel, and in such magazines as Travel and Leisure, Bon Appetit, and the Conde Nast Traveller. Most recently the New York Post did an article called "SOFO So Good", which featured The Parrot Club as well as Dragonfly and Aguaviva.
The Parrot Club does not accept reservations, guests who call ahead are placed on the waiting list for their desired time. In season, the waits can get long, especially between 8pm-10pm, however we do our best to accommodate everyone and to make sure that the experience is worth the wait!
