| It's used to be something but now it's a spill on for c grade celebs/Channel 4 presenters and usual coke heads. The toilets stink and I have seen a cockroach on the floor. Where there's one.... guyguy - 15 Aug 2008 15:02 |
| The Dolphin used to be rough -- the first time I went there a scamster ripped me off £2. Then it got good -- open late and great karaoke and brilliant winner stays on pool and people generally celebrating their love of life. Then it got too popular and now it sucks. The landlord who used the be nice and give me and my sister free half pints has gone a bit megalomaniac and hired mean bouncers, started charging in and built the totally inappropriate Dolphin wine bar and restaurant next door, which is bound to be a disaster. The beer tastes dirty, and one of the staff told me in another pub near by that they never clean the pipes and that's why. Since the smoking ban the pool table room stinks of piss masked by bleach. Another mean thing is that when it's open late they stop serving pints and only serve bottles, which are stupid overpriced. The motto is 'legends stand alone', and it is a Hackney institution, but now I leave it alone. isa953 - 1 Jun 2008 20:44 |

| I'm not a cheapskate, but £3.10 for a pint of carlsberg is daylight robbery. especially in a dump like hackney. the pub is ok, there is alot better around. I won't be going again purely becuase a pub is suppose to be a home from home and being ripped off is something i get from tower hamlets council, not something i want in a boozer bowhammer - 9 Dec 2007 22:33 |
| Karaoke was Japan's revenge for Hiroshima and Nagasaki: a bit of an excessive reaction in my book... On the nights when the ear-ache machines aren't there {Monday and Tuesday] the place is more or less tolerable, if you're desperate for a late pint, after everywhere nicer has shut... all the same, if you've got the energy, you'd be better of getting the bus down to Charlie Wright's...
