About Drunken Fish
Drunken Fish operates 11 AM to 1 AM daily — one of the few Palm Beach restaurants serving genuinely good food across that full daily span including late nights. The rooftop overlook of the Palm Beach area sets a great party-friendly ambiance with music playing throughout. The kitchen specializes in fresh fish (locally caught when possible) preparations including fried grouper, tuna burger, coconut shrimp, and Jack Daniel’s burgers. Happy hour features 2-for-1 cocktails with specific drink page rules. Service is friendly and accommodating about drink modifications.
Signature dishes & menu highlights
The Fried Grouper with fries is the menu standout — fresh fish, properly battered, generous portion at a reasonable price for Palm Beach. The Tuna Burger is praised as the best tuna preparation many reviewers have had. The Coconut Shrimp is plump and well-fried. The Jack Daniel’s Burger is the steakhouse-style burger play. Coconut Mojito is the signature cocktail and worth trying. Happy hour 2-for-1 drinks make this a good pre-dinner stop. Avoid the fish and chips per recent reviews — go for the entrée fish preparations instead.

What guests are saying
Reviewers love the rooftop atmosphere, music, and vibe — especially during happy hour and after dark when the place transitions into a more dance-oriented scene. The grouper, tuna, and coconut shrimp earn consistent praise. Manager Byron is mentioned as awesome by several reviewers. Some reviews note the fish and chips disappointed with small portions. Service is generally friendly with occasional billing inconsistencies during busy periods. Pricing is moderate for the Palm Beach strip. Best visited during golden hour for sunset views and happy hour pricing.
