A real tourist trap right by the swing bridge. 2 beers and 2 ciders on when I visited. I went for Bradfields Farmers Blonde which was fine.

This place seems designed to attract tourists and wealthier local people. It's certainly in a good location on the river and inside is an open plan room that wraps around the bar counter. Most of the furnishings are tall but I managed to find a low table and chair in one corner.
Two of the six hand pumps had cider at £4.00 a pint and both were kiddies strength of 4.0% and 3.8%. If I had to make a list of beers that I didn't want to come across in a pub these would all appear on it, Marston's Bass and Wainwright, Wychwood Hobgoblin and Doom Bore. I went for the Wainwright (£3.75) which was expensive and about as good as it's ever going to be.
I can only assume this place is GBG 2018 listed for the branch to make up their quota of pubs. I certainly wouldn't return.

Nicely refurbed pub next to swing bridge and overlooking the river there is a patio are to the front street.
Smart central bar area with space around it in a donut and a back room.
Its location means its popular.
Seems to combine food, drink, Sky Sports and its environment effortless.
Beer choice and quality is excellent.
Really well thought out place.

Not a review, just some information. The Dolphin closed down last year and has reopened under new management and has, apparently, had a refurbishment.
I have no idea what its like now, but rumour has it that it now has real ales.
I am due to visit Whitby later in the year and will try to pop in so I can review it.

The pub sits nicely by the swing bridge and river.
The exterior is a nice brick build dating to 1912. It also has a patio area. The interior is large and open plan, a little past its best, with some sofas, that perhaps look a little grand for the place. The patio alsways seems crowded, so the place is popular
It is a pub for those that do not really care about beer, just a drink in general. There are no real ales, just the fizz and bland bitter.
Therefore, i wouldnt recommend it, but i am sure if its fizz you want, then this may be good enough for you
