"Colorful, Snarky Eats and Drinks at a Belizean Sports and Karaoke Bar You'll know Tipsy Tuna when you see it: the bright pink, purple, blue, and green tables and chairs, the leopard print on the walls, the snarky signs plastered everywhere—even on the ceiling. Only slightly less local than its equally loud neighbor Barefoot Bar, Tipsy Tuna is the place to be for happy hour. Most nights, you can find DJs spinning tunes for dancing or lively karaoke going on past 9 p.m. As the name suggests, most people come here for the drinks, which are numerous, cheap, and strong. The food, however, isn't to be scoffed at, especially if you're into well-utilized spices and a million types of salsa."
"Tipsy Tuna is described as a big, wide painted-wood place that feels like an African dance bar: jazzy and jolly, with floorboards still vibrating from last night."
Great atmosphere, food, drinks, and service! A must go if you're planning a visit to Placencia Village, Belize! The restaurant is located directly on the beach, and definitely gives the carribean beach vibes. They have karaoke nights, Belizean drummers, great music and laid-back vibes. A one-of-a-kind beach restaurant/bar to relax and enjoy your time in the beautiful country of Belize!

We had an incredible experience at Tipsy Tuna in Placencia, Belize! While searching for a spot to watch the Stanley Cup Final, our tour guide and several locals at Naia Resort highly recommended this place—and they were absolutely right.
At first, it seemed like there were no TVs, but when we asked about the game, the staff went above and beyond. They opened up an entire sports bar for us and even turned on the sound—a rare luxury compared to the bars back home in Houston! The hospitality was unmatched, and the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted for watching the big game.
If you're looking for a lively spot with excellent service and an unbeatable local vibe, *Tipsy Tuna* is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Placencia!

Apart from the witty signs that greet your arrival, there was nothing redeeming about this bar/restaurant. Perhaps you are better off enjoying it if you are already "tipsy" and not of sound mind, but the service was dreadful and the food tasteless (it did not help that as a vegetarian they tried to tell me the chicken in my taco was a vegetable sealed the awful experience). But then the security guard handled a homeless man as if it was his first day on the job and the poor karaoke singer had to step in. It was like a farce. Don't waste your time here... Placencia has SO many great places.

2025 UPDATE: The food tastes like something that’s been sitting in the freezer for months and they just toss it in a fryer with blackened oil and sell it to you for $20. The portion is small and that’s probably a blessing in disguise. We all had stomach ache afterwards and I can honestly feel the stomach bug coming as I sampled the ceviche.
The waiters didn’t want to be there. She had to ask to see my watch to confirm discount for wings— which once again, taste like something from a dystopian sci-fi kitchen where human no longer have food and had to hunt each other for nutrients.
The only thing remotely nice is the beach, so credit to the owner for securing this location but everything else needs a complete redo.

Tipsy Tuna has been the perfect place to enjoy the ocean, sip fun cocktails, and get my heart broken by the Badgers.
After a fun day of fishing, we showed up and Dani took our fish back to the chef who outdid himself! He cooked up delicious snapper - grilled, blackened, garlic butter, and fried.

We ordered the tacos, chicken quesadilla, shrimp ceviche, and brisket nachos (lots of brisket), all were great as were the drinks. Attentive staff and nice atmosphere! It’s $1 wings & $5 rum punch all day! Wednesday was Garifuna Culture Night with authentic Garifuna drumming, their traditional songs & dances. They also had Jankunu dancer performances along with the Wamalali Garifuna Cultural Group. The menu is in Belizean dollars…

Want to be at a happening place. This is where you need to be. Great views from the restaurant. Choices to sit inside or on the beach. Food and drink specials every day. Night life is also good. Live music and dancing.
Amazing food! The flavors and portions are big thumbs up!!! Special for today, stir fry for lunch.
