Pubs
|
Description
|
The Pickeral |
One of the oldest pubs in Cambridge
dating from the 16th century. Dark, dingy
with decent beer - beware the Old Peculier !
|
The Eagle |
Large historic pub consisting of a number
of separate rooms. One of the best pubs in the
centre of town (opposite King's College).
|
The Castle |
(Bridge Street) friendly pub with excellent beer -
a Cavendish favourite.
|
The Mill |
No nonsense pub serving good beer - good in the Summer when half of
Cambridge spills out onto the unofficial beer garden by the river (beware the cows).
|
The Anchor |
Fairly large pub divided into smaller rooms (near Queens').
Serves decent food at lunchtime.
|
The Granta |
Decent pub overlooking the Mill pond (near Queens').
|
The Elm Tree, The Cricketers, The Free Press |
A triumvirate of small friendly pubs all in close proximity (at the rear of
Parker's Piece).
|
The Cambridge Blue |
one of the best pubs in town, a good
atmosphere and excellent real ale. Sadly it is a little way
out of the centre. Non-smoking !
|
The Maypole |
good cheap food and cocktails, beer is a
bit of let down.
|
St Radegund |
Old school style pub at the end of King's
Street, dark, small, exclusive, good bitters.
Just don't go with more than 2 people, you'll
never fit them in.
|
Fort St George |
Pleasant pub in an excellent setting by the Cam,
perfect for a lunchtime beer on a hot Summer
day (not quite the same in April).
|
La Raza |
tragically trendy but is open until 1am.
(Door charge).
Often has live music (jazz oriented).
|
The Regal |
if you have just turned eighteen and your
name is Tracy - this is just the place.
Best avoided on weekend nights.
