the dolphin

 A cross between a dive bar, tavern, and a lounge, The Dolphin is South Philly’s beloved night-time destination. Before reopening in 2013, it was a legendary go-go bar and the first stop for sailors coming into port at the Navy Yard (yikes!). Today, The Dolphin offers excellent dance music, great drinks, and unforgettable events. Inquire today about booking an event that is sure to dazzle even the most skeptical of holiday partiers!

South Philly’s Dolphin Tavern is a cross between a dive bar and a nightclub – offering an incredible dance floor with a signature light wall, a rotation of DJs, and great drinks. Host a theme night party, enjoy live entertainment with our state-of-the-art sound system, or takeover the entire club.
