I was looking for a name that I can
also use for merchandising purposes.
So my logo includes our national bird
and national - Kerwin Peter
Q: What is Thirsty Parrot Beach Bar and Grill
about?
Kerwin Peter: Thirsty Parrot is basically a
restaurant that sells food, drinks and art. It’s a
mixture of my artistic and culinary creativity.
Q: Why did you start the business?
KP: I had this vision for many years of opening
my own restaurant. It took me a while to get
the ideal spot to get it going. I love art and
cooking, so I decided to marry the two and get
one spot where I can do both.
Q: How did you decide on the name Thirsty
Parrot Beach Bar and Grill for the business?
KP: Actually, I did the logo before I came up
with the name. I was looking for a name that
I can also use for merchandising purposes.
So my logo includes our national bird and
national beer. Thirsty Parrot sounded like a
good name.
Q: Why did you choose this location?
KP: I played volleyball in the past with the
Saint Lucia Volleyball Association. When
Saint Lucia hosted the first NORCECA Beach
Volleyball Tournament some years ago at
Pigeon Island, I noticed this old, abandoned
building near the beach. Right then I
decided that it would be the perfect spot
for what I wanted to do. I also realized that
I would be able to attract both the locals
and tourists.
