The Dolphin, E8

The Dolphin is set in a terrace and looks like a pretty normal East End pub from the outside. Once inside it is quite a nice pub,the main room is L shaped with the bar facing,this room had normal tables and chairs,there is a smaller separate lounge to the left plus a separate pool room to the rear left. There was a TV showing football score updates. There were three real ales on the bar,i asked for a drink of ELB Pale Ale,the barman said this may not taste that good so gave me a taster it tasted more like vinegar than beer,he then asked what other beer i wanted i opted for Adnams Ghost Ship which was a really nice drink,when i offered payment for the drink he refused saying "this was not your first choice of beer so you can have it on the house" i thought this was really nice of him to do this,the other beer was Adnams Broadside. This is a very pleasant pub that was sadly almost empty on my Saturday afternoon visit. Ime very surprised that no Londoners have been in and reviewed this pub yet. Pub visited 4/10/2014
