Newly refurbished and opened, hard to locate as there's no sign (they need permission to erect a sign on a listed building) but it's really worth visiting as the beers are all on perfect form. Lovely ambience in the areas that have been renovated, doggy friendly and a really lovely young lady barmaid. Really recommended to visit and can't wait to return.
Cracking dog friendly pub. Reasonable prices and friendly chatty staff. Will definitely be back again for more cracking pints! More than happy to support new ventures who make the effort to talk to their punters. Can’t wait come back in April for food with friends! All the best!
My parents are local, so we spend a lot of time in Robin Hoods Bay and I have to say this is my FAVOURITE pub. Great atmosphere, super friendly owners and great beer. Loved spending time looking at the posters in the top room and spotting our favourite artists, having plentiful dog cuddles and warming up by the fire before skidding back up the hill in the ice 😂 Can’t wait to be back x
Great to see this pub open again. Nicely done up, warm, welcoming, quirky, good selection of drinks, friendly staff, dog friendly.
We popped into the dolphin this evening after a long walk out with our baby - really nice cosy pub and a great atmosphere!
