The Dolphin in Camden

Enter at 9:15pm. The barmaid pointedly looks at a wall clock and says. We call close in a while, you can have ONE. And holds her finger up for emphasis. 9:15 pm Charming

Nice cosy pub Very handy for Kings Cross Not much choice of beers though

Wonderful place to go for a drink

OK pub, but very expensive beer, and lukewarm reception. Won't be going again.

Lovely people inside and outside the bar

What a find in Kings Cross. A majestic pint, a real pub atmosphere and wall art of the bedrock of Ireland . What more could you want? A gem!

We didn't do the food....the pub was old school and the winner of best poured Guinness last year....also the wine was chilled and tasty

Called for a beer, amazing pint of Guinness you will not be disappointed!

Beware of middle eastern men sitting at this bar. I was robbed of my money by 3 middle eastern men pretending to be police officers and I noticed them the next day at the Dolphin bar.

Nice pub with a good guvnor, I'm a Guinness drinker so not a problem but there was a lack of real ales and bitter.

Great place but the toilet are downstairs so if you are disabled not an ideal pub...

Meeting place for Forest fans when we play in London.

Plenty of characters, warm and friendly.

Never had any food.... nice friendly pub

Turns into a diplomatic pocket of Geordie-Land on match day. We went there specifically for that and it didn’t disappoint.

As said in many others comments, the owner is really rude and he even yelled at us because me and my friend did not order at the same time.

Fun pub with good local vibe. Stopped in for a late night drink, and it was good.

TOON TOON. Proper unreal this pub like. Just full of pure Geordie ultras putting away the lagers on a match day, no better place to watch NUFC.

What's the service charge for? 2 pints i pick myself from the bar?

rather bland boozer, only keg ales, barman could do with some customer service training but decent pint of Atlantic

Accidentally stumbled upon it, had a guinness here and loved it. Such a lovely atmosphere.

A kind cozy pub near kings cross that absolutely stole my heart! I had a wonderful time and the beer was the best I've had!

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, about 10 people in there. Decent selection of beers.

Typical no nonsense traditional British pub. Don't go there if you are expecting to get a coffee 😊. I got told off in no uncertain terms when I tried.

This is a lovely pub. It feels very much like what you'd expect a British pub to resemble. The prices are good for the area.

Authentic locals pub. Not crowded. Absolutely delicious food prepared by chef from Lima. Great value.

Popped in for a quick pint, great London pub.

Local pub, good Peruvian food, good atmosphere. The tamales, ceviche, chicken wings, shrimp are really good! Nice to have an authentic pub near Kings Cross.

Cozy pub close to London's three major train stations. Large selection of beer, very friendly service and two large rooms with plenty of seating. Were here for the start of the European Championships and felt very comfortable. Nice place to watch football!

Very cosy friendly pub with excellent filling food. Bar staff are helpful and the chef came to my table to explain the food and take my order.

Just stopped for a couple of pints after work. Nice atmosphere and outside seating.

Absolutely amazing food. The most authentic ceviche I have ever tried. The service was super quick and the quantity of food very good. We order: - tamales: very good, but not my favourite - ceviche: essential order. Very authentic, big enough for both people (if they are happy to share). 100% recommended - salmon a lo macho: OMG, it is the best seafood I have tried in the UK. Slightly spicy but bearable for someone that doesn't like spicy food. I cannot recommend it enough.

Had a great meal here. The Peruvian food was great, very flavoursome, chef was friendly and helpful, as were the bar staff. If you’re looking for authentic cuisine made by a well travelled Peruvian chef, then go to the Dolphin.

Can't rate food as never eaten there. Service is solid. No doubting the atmosphere. Not had it but the Guinness looks good.

Very old school pub. Does what it says on the tin.

Had a great day with leeds united in London. A lot of us ended up at the dolphin and had a great laugh. We only had drinks so no score on food. Could have done with an extra hand behind the bar. Long waiting times to get served. Solution........get more drinks each. Great little pub, thank you

Small and tucked away around KingsX with an interesting food menu. Thursdays are busy!

I've tolerated this pub due to the atmosphere that the Newcastle United fan group are able to create on match day - it's as close to watching it up north as you'll find here in London, but the pub itself is just awful and the landlord doesn't deserve the devotion that the fans have given it over the last few seasons. The pub itself is a time capsule from the 60s, maybe you can call that "charm", but considering how much they charge (£6.50 for an alcohol free can of Guinness) and how much money goes behind the bar every match day, you'd think the staff could crack a smile - nope, it's closer to resentment and rudeness. I think in an economy where pubs struggle and close everyday they should thank their lucky stars that the Newcastle fans have adopted this spot to watch the games. Hidden Gem for Peruvian food here in the city, the chef is an absolute gem and the food is lovely!!

Horrendous landlord.Visit the pub only if you support racism.

Visited this place, with a big group of friends, on a weekday evening.Realised that the kitchen and the bar function separately. It looks like the kitchen staff and the bar keep don't get along and the customers suffer for that.The bar keeper(wears hat)working the evening shift seems to have some issues which reflects on his racist behaviour towards people.wish we had paid attention to the low the reviews as well.Also, Caught him poking his nose and not bothering to clean his hands before serving drinks. Definitely won't be visiting again because of rude and disgusting behavior of the bar keeper. Absolute mood killer Food was amazing. Good taste, great portion size.Ratings given only for the Peruvian food

Great pub friendly atmosphere 👌🏻👍🏻

What a fantastic find - traditional Irish pub with Peruvian cuisine !! The Octopus was great !!

I thought it was quite jolly with a local flavor - my wife didn’t care for it at all and said it lacked the old style pub feel. It does have that newish feel to it. We had a couple of the tamales which were just average. Stop in for a pint or so, just be careful what you order from the kitchen. I like the front and back bar options.

Decent pub for King’s Cross area

Continues to be the grimmest pub in the area and the landlord is as grumpy as ever. Still, at least it was open on a Sunday.

Great pub, close to Kings Cross. London prices, as expected, but won’t break the bank too badly.

Watched the Newcastle West Ham match here after looking for a Newcastle friendly pub. It was a brilliant atmosphere, probably helped by the fact it was a brilliant game. The owner was also really friendly.

Great service and food. Remember, if you're not local, you may need to go to the bar to order.

Charming pub with great service and atmosphere. A great place to watch football.

Quite possibly the best proper pub in the area. Always a friendly welcome and a good atmosphere in this traditional London pub that is tucked away from the hive of activity just a couple of streets away. 2 separate rooms and some outside street seating. Very reasonable prices and good selection of drinks. Always my go to pub when in the area 👍

Good service and relatively cheap for the area. It has two bars and a seating area outside. The stairs to the toilet are a bit steep, so watch out for that. Nice place to visit.

Class pre-match away pub for Toon fans and a good selection of draught beers. Good location near King's Cross, too. Would highly recommend.

A pub for people who are just passing through. Beer selection was poor, atmosphere was the opposite of cosy and overall the place felt a little neglected and unloved.

Love this pub! ALSO left my blue umbrella here and cannot get through on the phone, could someone check it’s been handed in? It’s blue and says Charlotte on it. Thanks

Met up with away day leeds fans had a good time beer ok

Met a few friends there and had a lovely time and the staff were great. we did not have food but saw a few meals coming out and that looked good

Amazing food! Please try the lomo saltado! 😍

Back street pub with Guinness and food. Better than those on the Euston Road. Sometimes busy. Sometimes rammed. Always friendly.

Great pub with nice atmosphere, quick service and amazing food!!!

Incredible food. Ceviche was frigging muy bueno! Great place to go before catching a train. Incredibly calm place given so close to Kings X. Highly recommend.

Will be sure to come back here again with fantastic and friendly staff. Highly recommend

Great pub nestled away in the King's Cross area. Great selection of beer and spirits with outdoor seating as a bonus. Always like to go in whenever I am in London! ☆☆☆☆☆

Bit of an odd one for the area. Old fashioned boozer with an independent kitchen serving amazing Peruvian food. It is also a Newcastle United supporters pub. Which is, you know, a bit odd for central London.

A lovely pint of Guinness,served expertly by the owner,we will be back.Thanks.

Hidden gem great little friendly pub best Guinness around kings cross

The Dolphin is always a big time, for those in Black and White, generating thrills and excitement...and an atmosphere like no other! Best experience watching NUFC I've ever had...barring SJP!!

Quiet traditional pub in the heart of London. No thrills, just a good old fashioned pub. 5☆☆☆☆☆

Came here after our Christmas work party. Everyone was great (from what I could remember) 😁

Worst pub ever. Couldn’t say enough bad things about this place. The owner especially is horrible to say the least. Do not go to this pub, even if it’s the last pub on earth.

Old school boozer, with some real character....landlord has been there for over 40yrs and you could tell but in a great way, will definitely be back In the new year

I was with a group of people but I got singled out for some reason the landlord thought I was just using the toilet, I was the only one he asked, I can only assume I wasn't the correct hue.

Needed somewhere to take visiting family for a post-flight meal days before Christmas. Also needed gluten-free food, and knew that Peruvian dishes often fit the bill, so called ahead and was assured that I'd be in good hands. It's a neighbourhood pub, obviously, as opposed to a restaurant, but the chef and his son went to every length to feed us well and make sure I was safe. Absolutely delicious, comforting food. A pleasure on every level.

Great, authentic food - chef was very friendly. Definitely bring my friends again!

Good location friendly staff and selection of ales, worth a visit 👍

Food was amazing traditional authentic Peruvian food! 100% recommended!

Worst pub in London. I popped in here today. I wish I hadn't. The old man behind the bar went out of his way to be rude to me. Plenty other great pubs around for me to go once I leave here. Will NEVER come back.

Didn't eat here but note the new menu. Friendly watering hole.

Just love that Irish bartender’s vibes

One of the nicest pubs around Kings Cross - staff are lovely

The chef and staff were lovely, I particularly loved that it’s a family business. The food was amazing, tasty, colourful; specially the authentic Peruvian dish named “jalea” & “ceviche”. I fully recommend this place if you are looking for original Peruvian food. Thank you so much for having us, I will be back for sure :)

Great Guinness and we were very looked after (thank you for the tea!)

Ottimo pub e buon cibo Peruviano

Proper pub, I understand that the landlords been here around 40 years, that why the pubs so good

Great pub for the last one before boarding your home bound train from St Pancras / King’s Cross after the match / day in London. We found it when trying to get in 5 star standard hotel bar, ‘dolphin up there lads’ was the bouncers retort. Great grumpy landlord, sport on, outside seating. Been twice now after london thrashings, perfect place to end the visit. We’ll be back in December 2023 and whenever we play Brentford. Didn’t try food but told its superb. Oh yeah and they accept cash, pretty rare down the smoke

What a gem - staff were overly helpful and the side bar was perfect for our get together at short notice! 100% worth nipping into (not a bad juke box either)

Lovely local pub, great tasty simple food, actually very delicious…. Fully recommend

Outstanding Toon pub - atmosphere for the Dortmund CL match was amazing, Newcastle away from Newcastle. Peruvian food was lovely as sharing portions for the table, and Guinness was decent - extra points for stocking Newcastle-based breweries too! ⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️

Buen sitio para tomarte una buena cerveza, dentro algo de ruido con las pantallas de TV con deportes, pero fuera estás de lujo. Personal correcto

A must visit for a dinner if you're around. Absolutely perfect.

My wife and I were in London recently and staying near the Kings Cross train station. We decided to go out for dinner and came upon this restaurant which serves Peruvian food. We went in and sat at a table for a few minutes and went up to the bar and asked the bartender if we ordered there and he said no , to have a seat, and we would be waited upon. After waiting 15 more minutes and not being waited upon we left.

A great little modest boozer super close to Kings Cross. Good local vibe with plenty of seating out the front. Has a great Peruvian kitchen which pumps out some amazing food. Plenty of telly's for the sport and a juke box in one of the rooms.

Good beer and great food. We had a good evening.

Great variety of drinks and food

The Dolphin just to the south of the main Euston Street is a blast from the past. All good as long as you don't need a cask ale. Plenty of choice from the keg. Juke box from the birth of the Eurovision song context. All good fun and quite Irish. Please note, no cockfighting allowed in the pub!

Had a quiet beer here, nice little pub

Fantastic authentic Irish pub with the bonus of excellent Peruvian food.

NUFC!! Love this pub - gets packed real quick. Brilliant atmosphere

Proper traditional Irish pub great food and atmosphere.

The food here was recommended by a friend and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The crispy pork belly was seriously crispy and addictive! Ended up over ordering and took some home. Tasted just as good the next day!

Food was nice, so the staff. Quiet pub by 6pm to enjoy the meal with a nice cider.
