OK, around 1993, I pulled a book off the shelf of my grade school library and burned through it. it was about a roguish male character in a fantasy/medieval town and he might have ran a bar. He was regularly shaken down by other "MOB" like antagonists and had a parrot sized pet dragon that would perch oh his shoulder.

I'm pretty sure your recall is a little off, if so, you may be thinking of...
The Vlad Taltos books by Steven Brust.
The books recount the adventures of the wisecracking hired killer Vlad, a human on a planet mainly inhabited by the long-lived, extremely tall sorcerers known as the Dragaerans.
The first book, Jhereg, was published in 1987
Vlad is a member of the Dragaeran criminal organization, the Jhereg. He is also a 'witch', and his familiar, a jhereg, often rides his shoulder.
