Sunday Phunday's With Greg: NFL Week 4 @ Parrot Lounge (Eagles vs 49ers)

This past Sunday Phunday was spent at the 'world famous' Parrot Lounge in Ft. Lauderdale Beach. This was a sports bar that I had admittedly been looking forward to the visit for some time.

I had heard of sports bars aimed towards supporting a specific sports team and/or city before, but I had never been to a sports bar that solely supported Philadelphia sports teams outside of an actual bar in Philadelphia, especially since the bar is located right in the 'stomping grounds' of the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins. Welcome to the Parrot Lounge.

The Parrot Lounge is fully decorated in everything Philadelphia sports. At the entrance, a banner flew above the front that read "Eagles country." It was soon after that I felt at home. Out of the 200 people (estimate) inside and outside, there wasn't a single person who wasn't donning at least one form of Philadelphia sports memorabilia.

The place was pretty much packed to capacity with 'phans', but of course, being around fellow 'phans' made it easy to get along with the other patrons. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful day and watch the birds on the big screen out front. For me, they had an awesome selection of craft brewed beers, specifically of the IPA type.They had bucket specials available, but they were mostly were for your generic domestic beers. To compliment my beer, of course I had to have try a Parrot Lounge Philly cheesesteak, and it didn't disappoint!

Overall, this was 'hands down' the best Philly sports bar that I have been to in South Florida. Great atmosphere, great people, great food, great beer, and an all around great time. This lounge is everything that you want and more out of a bar that supports your Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and 76ers.
