8 beers on when we visited one Wed evening. Tim Taylor Landlord a bit too warm for my liking but decent enough.

My self and wife went here for dinner over the weekend having read a review of the new restaurant.
The back part of the pub has been converted into a restuarant and very nice it looks to.
We love fish and shellfish so were well cattered for although there weere plenty of options for meat eaters. All in all a tempting menu that gave us some tough choices.
We ate at 8pm and the service was good but as the meal went on and the tales filled up the level dropped off. My wife ordered but then had to reorder 20 mins later as they had run out. This was a bit annoying but overall we enjoyed the meal a lot and would go back.
As for the drining this pub has chaqngd a hell of a lot since I was an undeage kid drinking here. On our visit we were amongst the youngest eating (we are mid 30's) bit it was a pleasent night and we wish them well.

Old Portsmouth used to be the place for a drink before Gunwharf opened. The Dolphin was incredibly busy especially over christmas time. Now it can be very quiet especially early week.
However, it's great if you like a traditional pub... lots of large tables and seating so it is perfect for a drink when there are a few of you.
Good selection of beers but spirit selection is run of the mill average and needs shaking up (although they do do Laphroiag whisky - a fav of my partner!)
Food is pretty boring pub grub - but fine.
Overall if you are after a pint and a chat with your friends its a great place to go and recommended.

Very cosy with lots of tables in historic Old Portsmouth. A great selection of real ales including an always well-kept Timothy Taylor Landlord. Open fire in winter. Small courtyard garden at the back. Small screens show some sporting events.
