Such a vibe. One of the oldest pubs in the world although obviously the history is debated. Also…read moreallegedly the place where DNA was discovered. Definitely a significant stop for RAF soldiers during World War II. Current days - a cosy pub with plenty of seating and a decent food menu. Friend had a steak and ale pie and she said it was good. I was content with water enjoying the crowd etc. You can order either via the app or at the bar with your table number. Toilets were limited and not the cleanest. Overall a must see while in Cambridge although I'm not sure the experience warrants a return visit.

The meat eaters in ou group loved the Sunday roast at Clarendon. They had either smoked brisket or…read morepork belly on offer. The brisket was tender and flavorful and the sides were amazing.

We had a chat with the friendly owners who are Italian immigrants and the wines (tangy with a bitter finish) and beers (hoppy) they recommended were just as they described them. We shared an aubergine bake (delicious) and chips (small and nothing special). Luckily they weren't t showing any matches and the garden wasn't packed.

This pub was everything you'd want in a nice local pub. Friendly folks, good beers, and a nice…read morelittle outdoor area in the back. It's not a big place, but we had no trouble finding a place to sit. The night I was there, they had a local Indian restaurant serving Indian food. It was quite reasonable in terms of price and outstanding in terms of flavour. I enjoyed the vegetarian thali more than I've enjoyed almost any Indian food anywhere. So there are lots of things to like, and really nothing to dislike. A good pub worth stopping by again.

This could be a 5 star establishment if staff made even the slightest effort to make you feel…read morewelcome, and if they had half the beers on their menu and giant board behind the bar actually available.

Great addition to the Brewdog family. Very cool interior…read morewith 2 floors of seating. Awesome Beer selection of their own beers plus friend taps. Additionally they sell their spirits here too. Haven't had the food but they do have a vegan section and what sounds like are some amazing cauliflower wings. They also have a brunch menu and open at 1000 Saturday and Sunday (with a few vegan brunch options...yeah!) Can't wait to come back and give the menu a try and taste more of the beers. This trip was just the Punk IPA and then on to the next stop

Like Nathan said the owner is extremely friendly. It's not very large but very nice pub to visit…read more I like their back garden patio, which is just one little table off to the side which adds to the character of the whole place. The history fact of this pub is that it used to be a house lived in by a guy who was the rowing champion of the Thames. The paddle is hung up right over the bar which adds to the special nature of the whole place.

This is a very cosy feeling pub, probably better suited for a drink on a cold winter's day, but…read morestill worth a look in the summer (especially if it is raining on you like it was on us at the time!). Has a lot of different alcoves and seating areas. There is even a small part of the bar that serves a separate section. The pub is much loved by locals and is also the name of a local rowing team who meet here apparently. Kindly helped us book a taxi when it came the time to leave.

Okay, if I'm finally getting to review in the UK after 2 years of waiting where do I start? How…read moreabout the pub at the end of my street? YESSS Because my local is amazing. Truly. It's got strange live music, a pool table, a beer garden, free newspapers, a small but decent selection of beers, seating on the street, bar billiards (sometimes) and... thousands of pigs. That's right - this dark but warm little pub is brimful of random pig toys, pig posters and pig sculptures. It adds a unique atmosphere to an already well-known atmospheric pub. Being only about 20 houses away, you can trust me that this is a true local gem. After 5 on most nights you'll find this place packed with drinkers who can't be bothered to go home just yet or catch the train home to the villages. Even if it's near-freezing out you'll still see us taking our beers out and sitting on the grass by the BBC next door so that the smokers can smoke away. And on a hot summer night - it's just perfect. No need to go home until I get thrown out.

It's nice enough. A bit on the pretentious side a small English style pub with an intimate manner…read more Good beer but missing the pub classics.

This is definitely not touristy Cambridge, which in one way is a pity, because it's much a nicer pub than many that tourists visit in the centre. The interior is very traditional - lots of dark wood - with a single long room. On a freezing winter's night, it was cosily warm, and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Clientele seemed a very mixed bunch of locals and students and some (very polite and chatty) heavy-metal fans. A nice touch was the lack of piped music. The main draw is the choice of up to 10 real ales, with some really interesting choices, include a locally-produced ale if you want to keep your food miles down. Food is more limited, with the usual snacks, plus a platter (£5) of either mixed gourmet Swiss and Dutch cheeses, or cheese and sausages, both served with horseradish and pickles, but (oddly) not bread. Overall, a nice pub with a great beer choice.

When I worked for a company of text message experts that answered whatever question you had, we…read moreoften had our own questions for ourselves. Q: "Which pub in Cambridge has outdoor seats that get the sun for the longest on a summer evening?" And what a wonderful question it was - taking in maps, local knowledge, astronomy and architectural planning to find the answer. No doubt you've already worked out that the winner is The Elm Tree, but for us it was a stunning surprise as it's the awesome town pub right opposite our text nerd headquarters. We were sitting on a pot of gold defined by the west-facing alleyway. But is 5 stars justified just for beer garden sunshine at 9pm? Not quite... but the Elm Tree is amazing on so many other fronts. A wide selection of Belgian beers with their glasses, superb local real ales, barrels of cider, pork scratchings made by the local butcher, jazz music and a library of books. Plus secret genius bar staff and a great sense of humour. Like the sign says... Great beers No Food Angry Barmen (i think they're joking)

I hang here whenever I'm in Cambridge - it's the only real Craft joint in the town - but I can…read morenever get a handle on it. So I went to their 'Craft festival' a few weeks back and, um, um? There, was, ummmmmm nothing. I did have a draught carrot Saison - a first even for Craft Jesus! - which was seriously nasty in a bad/good way. Still, if you remember it, somethings going on, right? They have some weird taps and the occasional DIPA, still a rare Craft horse in the UK. It just doesn't come together for me. You have to be 'eating' to sit in the booth area - most unCrafty - and too much hipster dust has settled into the floorboards. My Craft Jesus rating a confused PA/IBA 52 IBU

I could easily spend a few hours in The Cambridge Brewhouse. In fact, I think we did!…read more It's good to see somewhere balance between pub and bar, and Cambridge is lucky to have somewhere like the Brew House as opposed to the usual chain suspects. The interior is very light and there's plenty of seating, with a 'restaurant' section towards the back and more upstairs. We headed straight to the bar when we arrived and looked over the different options. As usual, there were cask and keg available, which you can choose either from looking at the different labels (so sue me, I often choose my drinks based on the design!) or at the large blackboard. They also have some cans and bottles in the fridges, plus wines and spirits are also available. I tried some of the Cambridge Brewhouse's own pale ale - when in Rome and all that - and stuck with it for a couple of pints. It was nice and light, and a great session beer. Service was friendly and reminded me very much of drinking in Manchester; they're more than willing to let you taste a few of the beers and talk you through their favourites on that day. Worth a visit if you're a beer fan.
