The Jolly Fisherman is located on Main Street in Roselyn, Long Island that is located in the state of New York.

The Jolly Fisherman is open from noon until 9:30 or 10:30 on most nights. The Jolly Fisherman is very similar to the Riverbay restaurant, which is also located in Long Island. The waiters and waitresses wear black tuxedos with bow ties and paintings of ships and of the sea are hung on the wall.
