If visiting the city of Carlisle make sure you make a visit to The Lane Bar. A hidden gem. Love that there are lots of cosy spaces where you can meet with friends and have a conversation without shouting!. Qwuerky and Stylishly decorated, great barman and owner who really looked after us. Highly recommend!! There is seating inside and out. Lovely outside area and balcony area.

I've always positively promoted this bar as its one of the best in Carlisle when on form but standards have certainly slipped without the owner bring present sat at the bar and she was missing on this occasion. Music was poor, pint of Asahi was poor and the lads working behind the bar weren't welcoming nor did they acknowledge us leaving, a first. Bar was quiet so really no excuses. Please improve and get back to the bar we love!

Very nice to be able to sit outdoors and the inside looked like it would be cozy for a night time. However I think over £27 for a bottle of house wine and a glass of cola is a bit steep. Also many of the outdoor seats were wire / rattan style and we had to ask for cushions. Would have thought these would have been out on a hot sunny day. Prices put me off going back

So yesterday we took a steam train to Carlisle… Knowing our friends and the fact we had three hours to spend in this lovely city, we knew we would need somewhere to go for a few cheeky libations!!! So after a little research on the net we found The Lane Bar situated in the historic quarter … Noting the current situation with regard to booking tables I dropped them a message in which I received a very prompt and polite response saying it was walk in only…however, because it looked so good we still took our chances and headed down there, which we were glad we did…. The place itself is just wonderful with underground tunnels and rooms with really cool decor, a chilled vibe and great tunes. The bar service was spot on with a wide selection of drinks served In the correct glassware by a young man with a look of Harry Styles!!! Needing a little something to soak up the long drinks we asked for a snack menu which sadly there wasn’t one, however in a matter of no time we were presented with a really tasty tapas board prepared by Gill the owner… True hospitality right there!!!! Being a beautiful day we made the most the fabulous beer garden which is a real sun trap with areas of shade for those who prefer to stay cool…. We really didn’t want to leave this place, it ticked ever box!!! Xx

Lovely surroundings and all in all the lane bar is quite a nice quirky bar. However, on this one occasion we encountered a very rude lady who we presumed was the owner (or at least acted like it). Our query was that the Peroni on drought was not up to the standard it should be, it had quite a murky dirty aftertaste to it. I won't go into detail because I don't want to embarrass the lady but she was directly very aggressive and very rude to our table, and considering we were there for birthday celebrations, the rudeness was not appreciated.

We went only in Carlisle for the night, but I’d looked for a good cocktail bar for after dinner and the lane bar had looked good from online reviews! Venue looked good, a cellar just off a quiet side street not far from centre of town. We arrived at approx 10pm on a Friday night and were informed on arrival that we were only permitted one drink as the bar was closing early (on a Friday night??). The cocktail menu was very limited. Very little atmosphere, if it hadn’t been for the chatty staff this would have been a 1 star review.

After spending a very hot morning in Carlisle celebrating 70th birthday of NHS, my colleagues (approx. ten of us) thought we all deserved a treat and headed off to The Lane Bar. We sat upstairs as no room in garden and headed downstairs to the cellar (where three staff were dancing to music) to request a menu. We were curtly told there were none and we would have to take a photo on our phone and return with order as not one of the three could possibly come upstairs to take our large order. (Bar was completely empty at this time). I therefore wrote all the order out and returned downstairs with it. We asked for a tab as we intended to have further drinks. We then headed into garden as space was now available. Within a short time we were all taken aback by being curtly told one of our party (young boy playing quietly on his Gameboy) would need to move immediately from table he had taken in case more customers arrived. He would of course have moved if anyone had come in! More customers did arrive ten mins. later and the same woman (apparently the owner) told us we WOULD NEED TO PAY as they were becoming busy. I.E. didnt trust us to pay as bar became more busy. We were all shocked by the way we were spoken to and have all vowed not to return until ownership changes again!!! Mocktail was awful and alcoholic cocktails were very poor. I had an apperol spritz which resembled nothing I had drank before!! AVOID - RUDE OWNER AND VERY POOR COCKTAILS. We did try to speak with the owner to say how disappointed we were, but she had no interest and purely pointed out she was a bar and we had no cause for complaint!!

First time here yesterday afternoon with 5 friends. The bar man was very funny and put us all at ease. I had 2 peach passsion fruits they were so tasty!! One of my friends is pregnant and he made up a mocktail for her which was lovely. He definitely knew his stuff. I asked him the ingredients of most of the cocktails on the monthly blackboard before i ordered. The bar itself is on 2 levels we were down in the cellar and it was so cosy and the brick was covered in like comic book pics. Will definitely be back to taste more cocktails. It was £7 for a cocktail which I think is about the norm.

Popped in a few months back whilst visiting family in Carlisle. Spotted the Absinthe fountain and dasher bottles through a window from the outside and this immediately made us thirsty for something stirred down and boozy. There was about 8 people in our party so we were told we could sit and have our drinks in 'Montys' upstairs, this little bar is absolutely beautiful with woof paneled walls and a backbar to make most London bars jealous. Our Waitress was lovely and our Bartender was fantastic. Its great to see a bar like this in Carlisle and to see them leading the way with forging a real cocktail identity for the city. Will definitely visit when I'm back in December this year!

I visited The Lane Bar a couple of Friday's ago while visiting a friend in Carlisle. I liked the quirkiness of the bar, a great place to meet friends and chat. The cocktails were unusual and enjoyable, but there was a long wait at the bar to get them prepared! Shame there wasn't table service - so have your friends wait with you or make friends in the queue! My only negative was that the bar staff weren't particularly friendly...but putting that aside I would definitely visit again.

We booked a cocktail class here for my best friends hen party. From the moment we arrived it was fantastic. We first sat outside in the beautiful beer garden and were offered drinks whilst given a menu for the cocktails we could make and explained how the class would work etc. When we were all ready we were taken upstairs to Monty's bar which was totally private for our group and again a brilliant setting. The bar man Cameron was great! He made everyone feel totally relaxed and welcome with clear directions for what we would be doing. We were also given a bottle of prosecco for the bride! We all took our turns behind the bar which was great fun and made the most amazing cocktails (obviously under Cameron's talented direction!) As we were a hen party we were playing games along the way which all the staff were fab at letting us do and even participating in! And we were often reassured we had as much time as we wanted! I would highly recommend this to anyone! In all, I can't give the venue and their service enough stars! Completely excellent and I would just like to say a big thank you!

First visit to this bar and I was quite impressed. Firstly the entrance is lovely with a couple of seating areas and a door leading to the garden. We went downstairs to the bar, the barman was very pleasant and talkative and we got our drinks. £4.60 for a pint is quite steep and I wouldn't normally be happy about paying this but the bar and garden more than make up for it. We didn't go into the bar itself but wandered back upstairs to the garden. It is so unique and quirky you could easily sit there all day especially if the weather is nice. There is a speaker outside and quite a few different seating areas. I would say it is the nicest beer garden in Carlisle!Will I be back? .......Definitely!

Firstly, I should praise Cameron and his bar team - their service all day yesterday was brilliant. They were all incredibly friendly, joined in with our group's banter, singing and (at times) dancing. One dark haired girl behind the bar is, in particular, an exceptional credit to the place.However..... Gill the lady who I'm told owns the place may wish to consider some lessons in how to professionally, calmly and personably talk to her clientele.Admittedly, our group had flouted the rules regarding food in the "VIP" area. Shockingly, we had taken two bowls of crisps(!!) three steps from the two booths we were allowed food in and into the "VIP" area (I keep using inverted commas because the only real difference in this area is the velvet rope delineating it from the rest of the bar - other than that, you'd have no idea it was "VIP"). The bar staff, and indeed Cameron, had seen this for a good two or so hours and said nothing to us before Gill took it upon herself to rudely, loudly and abruptly address the party host in front of her guests and chastise her for breaking the bar rules re: food beyond the rope. Whilst the majority of the group accept that we were wrong (it was an innocent error for most of us) and that it is the bar's policy, it was Gill's unfortunate manner and incredibly aggressive gesturing that soured our evening.I would suggest that perhaps Gill should spend less time drinking in her own beer garden of an afternoon and pay attention to what's going on downstairs before she has one too many shandies and takes it upon herself to create a thoroughly embarrassing scene, ruining everyone's night and ensuring that the vast majority of us won't be back.

The lane bar is amazing-cocktail lounge bar in the centre of Carlise. The staff /owners are amazing. Defiantly worth a visit if in Carlisle

This place is really something special, it has impressed everyone who I have taken. Nice for private little parties/drinks, top for cocktails but just the classy atmosphere and good staff make it

Stumbled across this bar by accident and ended up spending most of our afternoon there. Excellent service in lovely surroundings

I met some colleagues from work for pre-dinner drinks at The Lane Bar. This was my first visit and it will not be my last. I had read about it in Carlisle Living and had wanted to go, so when I found out this was where we were all meeting, I was delighted. I was not disappointed when I turned up. What a lovely atmosphere, very clean, good display of drinks and the staff are friendly. This place is a little gem and wish I could have stayed for longer. I will be back for sure.

We stopped at The Lane Bar on our way back from a meal as we have been in before and our wives enjoy the cocktails.The bartender who served us took plenty of time making the cocktails with fresh ingredients and they were presented in lovely stylish glasses. I would definitely recommend a visit to try the cocktails or a beer and relax in the very comfortable sofas.

I love the lane! My and my husband go there quite often, and even though it's a five minute walk from the main night life it's definitely worth a visit. Love the wood burner and unique decor too :)

Great old pub. Been visiting off and on since it was a State Pub back in the 70’s. Gets even better with age! Call in and enjoy.
