The Dolphin

The Dolphin Hotel is a pub on the Barbican in Plymouth, England, notable as the setting of several of the artist Beryl Cook's paintings. It is a no-frills un-modernised pub famous for its cask ale, draught Bass served straight from the barrel. It is listed in the Campaign for Real Ale Good Beer Guide and the Good Pub Guide.

The Dolphin is a good, down to earth, ordinary, unpretentious, drinking house. It has a really great historical ambience and you can imagine people sitting there and drinking their ale, in times gone by, after a busy day’s work gutting newly landed fish for the fish market. You can even get food from the other take-aways on the Barbican and eat it in the pub with a pint.

Look out on their social media for regular live music gigs and spontaneous sessions. They also hold jamming sessions regularly on Thursdays - welcome for anyone to come along, buy a drink and join in!
