Pubs in Cambridge (England)


Pubs in Cambridge (England)

Cambridge has a colossal number of pubs, over 110 at the last count. Since the July 2007 smoking ban, all pubs, clubs and restaurants are smoke free inside, smokers are catered for with outside "facilities" (sometimes, just the outside).
  • The Cambridge Blue, Gwydir Street. A friendly pub with a large garden and good range of real ale.
  • The Castle Inn, Castle Hill. One of the best and busiest, traditional pubs in Cambridge. With an eclectic mix of locals and visitors, it can get impossibly busy of Friday and Saturday nights, however, the beer is excellent (the wine less so) and the food is home cooked and good value - the "Castle Burger" is a popular choice.
  • The Champion of the Thames, King Street. Old style pub in the centre of town with a blazing fireplace in the winter. One of the few pubs to sell a local cider rather than the mass-produced stuff.
  • The Eagle, Benet Street. Watson and Crick were regulars here whilst in the process of unravelling the secrets of DNA.
  • The Fort St George, Midsummer Common. Been there for hundreds of years, overlooks the Cam and Midsummer Common. Also one of the best places in town for a pub lunch! (Think Sunday roast.)
  • The Free Press, 7 Prospect Row. Mobile phone use is not allowed, making this a pleasant quiet pub. Garden.
  • The Granta, Newnham Road. A large terrace looks out on the river and surrounding nature. Popular during the summer, this pub serves excellent food, and rents out punts and canoes.
  • The Live and Let Live, Mawson Road. A small and very friendly place with an excellent selection of real ales.
  • The Mill, Mill Lane. Cosy in the winter, bustling in the summer, this pub offers a refined selection of real ale.
  • The Pickerel Inn, Magdelene Street. Claims to be the oldest pub in Cambridge.
  • The Regal, St Andrews Street. Belongs to the Wetherspoons group and is supposedly the largest pub in Europe, it was previously a cinema. A freehouse, it serves one of the biggest selections of real ale in the town. Refurbished in Spring 2004. Guest ales £2.10, Stella £2.59.
  • The Wrestlers, Newmarket Road. A bit of a walk from the City Centre, but great real ales and some of the best Thai food in town.
