🚫⚠️Beware⚠️🚫Went In for the blues bands and to experience new music and to get some amazing food from @nineteen77rollingdiner but I was very sad to see the owner of the establishment disrespecting her employee's in every way. She was treating the band members and food truck members terrible raising her voice at them throwing her hands at them in the air and more.. I saw she was rude to everyone as well snapping at them and slamming doors and I was very shocked to see the owner act like this having an adult temper tantrum at this dive bar. Maybe consider a better bar that will appreciate it's customers....⚠️⚠️

The bar has a great atmosphere. Very friendly staff, chatted with the owner Lori and she is very friendly. Affordable drinks and the live music is excellent. Highly recommend a stop in.

The Dolphin Lounge is keeping live blues relevant in Columbus. Please keep it up. I recently saw a negative review for the bar’s refusal to offer tap water to patrons. While that may seem like a turn off, it is not the bar’s nor the server’s fault. Public eating/drinking establishments can only lawfully offer tap water if it has been filtered. Instead of breaking the law and offering unfiltered tap water, the bar offers bottles of water. Hopefully, the reviewer just didn’t have all the facts.

They won't give you a glass of tap water on scorching day

Great local spot for karaoke, drinks, and they have pool and darts as well. Unique vibe with a bar that spans a couple different heights, lava lamps, etc. Always a good time!
Greg Osborne
Great neighborhood bar that has it all, including karaoke several nights a week!

Went for karaoke night with a group. Had a wonderful time! Pretty laid back atmosphere. There's a pool table and some aracade games. Some bar seating and a dozen+ tables with chairs. It was a fairly light crowd for what the place could hold. Bathroom was very clean! Bar service was wonderful. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks were very reasonably priced! Let me start by saying, I did not have any of the pizzas they offer as food. Therefore, I gave it an average 3 stars bc not applicable isn't an option. Karaoke- I am a terrible singer, but love singing along with the radio or with friends. Only down side was the artist voice is never in the backround so it's just the music and you. The DJ does sing along to help you keep on track, thankfully! We are definitely interested in goung back. Even started planning before leaving!
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!

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'.

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....
