Great place with friendly staff but the drinks are INSANELY overpriced for a dive bar. Had four drinks and my bill was $25+ for 4(!) drinks.

I needed a place to just relax and unwind and read my book after an afternoon at the BMV. I'd seen this place on a list of "best dive bars in the city", and I figured I'd check it out since I live 5 mins away and have never been. And the vibe was perfect for what I needed. It's not hip, it's not fancy, but it's comfortable and welcoming. Will definitely be back sometime, especially if I ever get brave enough for karaoke!

Just a bad experience!!.. all I can say is sometimes you have to admit you were wrong...no hard feelings.. moving forward..After talking to the owner in private message, I can see partly her side..I raised the star to 3 because I still feel that things could have been handled better....

Zero stars if I could. Condescending attitude from staff and kicked out my disabled individual and co worker on one of his trips out. He loves live music but because of "all stars" he was denied service and opportunity to experience live music. Then when they were struggling to leave the attention and attitude that was brought to us thanks to the staff was to little to late and not helpful. Don't recommend if you are Disabled in anyway you might also be kicked out. Will not be returning.

Was early for a flight. It's just east of CMH, so I stopped. Good ole' country bar. Nothing fancy, dark and musty, just like the good Ole days. Not for me nowadays, but for the rowdy crowd, go get em'.

I would never come back to this place. Lori is very rude telling people to turn down their amps. That's too loud. I spent $12 for 1 drink for just lemon, vodka and ice. They only paid the ban $30 a piece or 3 people. Never come to this place again. Cause Lori was glaring at the guitar player. This bar should not even be a hard rock band they Maybe this bar should be for senior citizens. When Laurie works, bartens don't care. She's a owner or a family member. She should not be a bartende $12 Dollars a drink, but 3 beers spent $37 and was treated unfairly by Laurie. Very rude, very disrespectful to the band.

They've made a lot of upgrades since we visited last. Lori takes great pride in her business.

This place is amazing! The owner is such a great person. She sponsors fundraisers often to help those that need it. I was there for a fundraiser and it was very well done. The place is somewhat of a dive, but I loved it. If I lived in the area, I would definitely frequent it. Can't say enough good things about this place.
Unpleasant waitress... the vibe of music was off someone's phone playlist. It's too quiet for a lounge scene. Didn't see anyone ordering food. Left as soon as I got there... no pictures

My wife and I stopped in on a Saturday and were completely blown away with the retro vibe of the Dolphin Lounge! The sunken bar and decor made me feel like I had time-traveled to 1979. The live band was playing classic rock tunes, and a birthday celebration was keeping the place hopping.The staff and patrons were all very nice and welcoming! We'll definitely be back for more!

I love Blues Jam night on Mondays! Just a bunch of musicians coming together to play blues and perform. I could sit and listen for hours (and I do). Great place for live entertainment and good drinks. S/O to Brandon from @Crawford Entertainment for telling us about this

Loved the Monday Blues/Jazz bands. No real food to offer. No outside food allowed. Drinks over priced vs volume.
