Located just steps from the St. John ferry dock in Wharfside Village, The Parrot Club offers fun-filled gaming entertainment in a spacious and welcoming atmosphere.  

Each day of the week at 11 a.m., excitement comes to life when the etched glass doors open to welcome island residents and visitors. A mix of music plays in the background, as fun games vie for the attention of patrons — including blackjack, poker, keno, roulette, and more. 

Established by Southland Gaming in 2008, the club was custom designed from the ground up — and General Manager Derek Athanese has been there from the very beginning.

He advised that The Parrot Club went through an extensive rebuild after dual category five hurricanes Irma and Maria hit the islands in 2017. 

“We made the best of a rough situation by doing a lot of refurbishing and redesigning including repositioning the bar to overlook the water,” said Derek.

At the friendly bar, patrons are presented with drink menus featuring tropical refreshments, frozen concoctions, classic martinis, trendsetting cocktails, beer, and wine. There’s even a delicious array of mocktails too! Are you into sports? Check out the action on strategically placed flatscreen TVs. 

Whether you want to party with friends in a nightlife setting or escape the tropical sun to enjoy cool air-conditioned comfort, The Parrot Club is ideal. What a perfect example of tropical “Fun-Shine!” 

While at The Parrot Club, be sure to pick up signature merchandise including T-shirts and hats.

The Parrot Club is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to midnight.
