Score context
Four distinct Tripadvisor guests describe the Fish Lane bar in 2025–26. Three enjoyed cocktails, mocktails and the welcome; a regular drinking wine there in April 2026 describes poor manager attention despite a quiet room. The negative is about bar service rather than cocktail flavor, and the sample is small.
