Ive been here twice and its fun if you plan on just dancing and not talking because this place is insanely loud. The first time I was here, it was for an hour and I left partially deaf with ringing ears. I had to, legitimately, bring ear plugs for some relief. Im sure Ill go back cos why not, with free covers, and hopefully when I do there with be a decent DJ playing good music. Its not bad, the music, just nothing Id get down to regularly. Drinks were fine, havent had a problem with that yet.

Beautiful place, beautiful people, fun as fun can be

Two thumbs up for this place. There was fast and courteous service. This place has a nice design.

Nothing to complain about. atmosphere and food reminds me of virginia beach.

Definitely worth going back to. It has a good atmosphere.

I had a good time here. Bartender cursed out my whole friend group for not tipping when we were tipping all night. Not sure what his problem was but other than that it was a good experience

I JUST walked into this bar and not 5minutes later Im walking out. Honestly its not the kind of place you want to be for a fun night out. A friend and I both went up to the bar and off the bat the Male bartender was rude he didnt listen to our orders, then once he finally PAYED ATTENTION he thought he wouldnt notice him NOT adding the liquor to the drinks. When I confronted him he took the drinks and never refunded my money. The dance floor probably had 3 customers and then the rest were security trying to dance with you.

Imagine being in your weird uncles basement, but he charges you for the beer. Thats what this place is like. I feel like the bar is about to fall over at any moment.

Man I used to have some good times dancing at the Dolphin... Now though its just sad. I almost hate to say it because you know, nostalgia, but the place was nearly empty at 11:30 on a Saturday and the DJ was playing barely tolerable 90s catwalk music; totally undancable. I wish it was still a cool scene.Edit: just read other reviews, its weird you can see it started getting creepy and terrible (even was reminded that people get regularly roofied here) about 2 years ago. Rough.

The Dolphin has a really great dance floor! They have fog machines, disco ball, strobe light, and more! The walls of the dance area are floor to ceiling led color panels, so the walls pulse different color patterns to the music, which is crazy cool. The bar is expensive with a single beer running you around $5. But theres no cover charge. Definitely a place you go to dance!

Cool bar, but Ive heard they have a problem with people getting roofied. Also I think I left my credit card there and they never returned my calls.

Updated review: I had one bad experience, but several positive ones.

Its a dive bar that is only open from 9pm-2am. It is iconic with dark lighting, but cheap in price and they made a good drink. Would definitely recommend going at least once.

Best music nights in the city, bar none. Cheap and nice drink options. Nice efficient staff.

Awesome dance floor. Bar placement was very efficient. Bartenders were cool and nice

Really cool dive bar with an awesome dance floor ^-^

This place is OK, cheap drinks decent djs depending on the night of the week

Superdope venue for intimate concerts. Great drink selection, too. If you dont like this bar, then you really shouldnt be hitting up dive bars in the first place.

Music is way too loud for the size this place is. My ears havent stopped ringing since I been here. Thanks for the tinnitus.

This place is basically a lousy dive but they occasionally host events that my friends enjoy so I go there with them. I would never go here voluntarily. Its just a railroad style jawn with a bar up front and a dance floor in the back. The light up walls on the dance floor add a kitschy vibe, but you could get better atmosphere and cheaper booze a hundred other places.

The best night of my life

Fun place to get some dancing in with a bar vibe near the entry and a somewhat trance-like vibe towards the back of the club.

$1 PBR late night happy hour to get you in the door. Its usually pretty empty at that point so enjoy the vinyl and company of your bartender.

I Like its my first time i enjoy with dance thanks Evry bady

Seemed pretty gay friendly inside, walking up to the bar/club we were heckled. Inside was dope, music was fannnntastic. Super crowded though.

You may not know this...but this spot turns into a semi-divey nightclub in the night time. Excellent for cheap thrills.

Hipster haven. They have dope parties. Shout out to dj Dame Luz.

Not big on all that dancing stuff. But Murph is the man and 8-10 happy hour is killer.

Intimate during the week, ultimate dance party Friday & Saturday nights, LGBTQxxx on Sundays. Anything goes social scene with worldwide award winning producers & DJs spinning.

Weird, divey, dancey, awesome

Music is on point at this place. Create visuals for DJs also!

Grate place to dance

Another dive bar our city doesnt need. Not very clean.What is with the ugly tool shed they built on the front?
