Pescado Lounge

You're walking down Dock End towards the water when Pescado pulls you in—all warm lighting and the sound of actual conversation rather than forced bonhomie. It's Spanish tapas and proper fish dishes in a space that feels like someone finally understood what locals actually wanted: good food, honest cocktails, no pretension. The kitchen takes seafood seriously; they're not mucking about with frozen prawns, and it shows. The kind of place where you can drop in for drinks and end up staying for dinner, or vice versa.
