Also known for toilets to leak into the bar....nice!

---

I hope it doesn't go, Mare street won't be the same without the Valentine's Slag Tombola.

---

I don't know this pub but I'll point out that when a place is closed due to crime, the police do give the owners warning that it's a hotspot. The owners of the Dolphin will have known this and done absolutely nothing about it if it has now ended up being closed down.

---

I have to ask, what is Valentine's Slag Tombol?

---

Where do you think they get the Fosters from?

---

Turn up on valentines night, put your name in a tombola... Lets just say no one goes home alone. May not be suitable for those with a more... erm... 'linear' approach to their sexuality :/

---

I have no idea if this sounds like a fucking great night or the worst idea ever, hopefully they stay open so I can at least spectate

---

I like the Dolphin. That would be sad.

---

I don't know the place at all but 10 security guards (by their own admission) for a pub is quite telling by itself. I worked as a doorman on nightclubs with less guys than that.
