A compact mint-green space, Drunken Sailor dissipates the frat-party vibes washing in from next door with quality fish and chips and other interesting maritime delights. From Malay fish curry with tamarind and tomato, to tempura prawns with chipotle mayo and pickled vegetables, each fish dish here is approached with a spirit of nautical adventure (not necessarily helped by wailing death metal and power pop). Interior design-wise, it’s bright blond wood tables (and booths – gotta love booths), retro sailor photographs and kooky octopus murals. On a hot Adelaide evening, fold-back windows open onto O’Connell Street and let the night tide flow in and out.
