If you’re craving the hazy days of late August and weekend trips to the beach, then the Lazy Parrot Grill in Pantops Shopping Center has the remedy.
Their tropical retreats come in glasses, though: They’ve dreamed up a range of fruity beverages that will make you think you are on the beaches of St. Tropez—or at least the Outer Banks. But don’t get any ideas from the names of the specialty drinks, which are “not names you’ll find anywhere else,” says owner Kevin Kirby. Seagulls don’t really like rum.
