Dolphin, Southampton


Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

Converted from two bars to one in 1998 exposing much brickwork & bare boards and changing from an island bar in the middle to one along the back wall. Eagle eyed visitors can spot the old cellar trap door now firmly on the customer side. Other developments include an open extension and an outside bar (summer use). Inside, the bar has a fine bank of 8 handpumps. Two or three of the four fireplaces should be brought into use in the winter. A wood clad room to the right of the bar did form a snug but since 2018 it has housed a pool table. The Dolphin has some form of live events most evenings, Jazz Monday; Open Mic Tuesday; Karaoke Wednesday and live bands Friday through to Sunday. In line with the music, décor is enhanced with pictures of bands and artistes and the front of the bar has an array of old 45rpm singles.
