Editorial Juice Review: Twisted Parrot
The Twisted Parrot
Bartender Tom Owens, 27, pours a shot at the Twisted Parrot. (Arturo Fernandez/Juice)
The Twisted Parrot is a pretty typical-looking place with pool tables, video games, a giant-screen television, a handful of bar tables and a lounge area with longer tables in the back. There's a couple of fake parrots perched in the corners while Top 40 pop music and a pinch of punk blares from the jukebox.

"5 stars? Are you kidding me?"

By Mongo from West Des Moines, September 16, 2008

Places good for plain old drinking.

This is a list of some of the lesser known places to get a good drink fast and not mess around with 100 20-somethings who all want to mingle. Fast service, hard drinks, no BS. Enjoy.

Fight the snow and get your photo taken. Being at home is lame anyway.
