Cool concept, terrible terrible service from the bartender. I don’t know how this man gets away with treating the PAYING customers that way. Such a shame since we went out for a night out to celebrate my husbands birthday. So many things went wrong the moment we got there. We didn’t finish our drinks that we ordered because we didn’t want to sit in this establishment any longer.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I came in here for the first time with friends tonight and waited at the bar for 25 minutes, it was not even busy. The bartender acted like we were invisible and took other peoples orders that arrived there after us. We finally ordered and got our drinks. We ordered a pitcher of beers and was not given any glasses to pour it into. One of our cards did not work because it had a crack in it, we handed him another card and when he was done with the transaction he freaked out and yelled at us, literally screamed in our face as loud as he could. So unprofessional and rude. I am a bartender myself and would never ever do that to someone, how embarrassing. Do NOT go to this place.

I’m from out of state and I play at a high level. Tables are straight but house cues are well used, table felt was well used and filthy dirty, but no holes or rips. 6 racks in and my bridge hand fingers were black. I don't think the balls have ever been polished. Staff and patrons friendly. Overall disappointing.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The Blue Dolphin has the absolute worst service I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. From the moment I walked in, I felt judged, unwelcome, and outright disliked. The atmosphere is cold, and the staff somehow make it colder.

The person who answers the phone? Easily one of the rudest, most unprofessional individuals I’ve ever encountered. They clearly have no business working in hospitality and should be fired immediately. It’s baffling how a place that calls itself a restaurant/bar can function with this level of disrespect toward its customers.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Save your time, your money, and your patience go literally anywhere else.

It was a good place to play a few games of pool. The juke box was nice. The restrooms were clean. Parking was great free lot. Inside is painted in a Miami vice purple and aqua paint with dark blinds. The place is dark inside. Only the light over the pool table is use were on. They have lottery machine kiosk and paper slips there. We will return to play again.

I’m in a pool league and we played at the Blue Dolphin. This place has plenty of parking and all the tables are in very good condition. They have big tables and also small bar room sized tables. The owner is always behind the bar and he very friendly and will make you good drinks. They also have very good food here. I highly recommend the Blue Dolphin.

Typical dive bar. Nothing special. Asian bartender was not very friendly or accommodating. It felt like he was doing us a favor by us being there. Wouldn’t return. Much better places in town to shoot pool and have a good time.

The Blue Dolphin offers great food, wonderful noodles, a place where you can actually relax, and feel safe while getting a couple of games of pool in. Check out the upstairs to experience a little bit quieter time. Did I mention they have great food? LOL have fun!

This owner is absolutely nuts. The second we entered he went off on my cousin for taking a picture then kicked out us. I can't believe how this place has such a rating and is even operating. Avoid at all costs unless you want to get assaulted by this maniac owner.
