 Best bar none |
36-37 St Andrew's Street Cambridge CB2 3AR United Kingdom +44 1223 37 1081 |
Situated on St Andrew's Street between Emmanuel College and Downing College, this bar is a marvellous place to relax. The sandwiches are something special and help to cheer up many a dull lunchtime. Try the flour tortilla wrap filled with flaked salmon, lemon mayonnaise and herb salad, or crumbled goats cheese salad with French beans, cashew nuts, egg and balsamic dressing. All Bar One also has an extensive range of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Local pub in traditional setting |
73 Newmarket Road Cambridge CB5 8EG United Kingdom +44 1223 35 3791 |
This local pub is a great place to enjoy a quiet pint in a traditional setting. The friendly bar staff is eager to help you select from a variety of bitters. The standard Green King Mild is a favorite, although it is well worth tasting the superb Cocker Hoop, a special rich and complex blend by Jennings of Cockermouth, renowned for its sweet fruity flavor with a bitter tang. The garden area is available for seating in the summer months. A full lunch is served on Sunday; menu varies. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Gem of a nightclub |
15 Market Passage Cambridge CB2 3HX United Kingdom +44 1223 51 9224 |
A rare gem among night clubs, this club has no dress code, although it does have a strict policy excluding any potential rowdy clients.

The club's cheap and cheerful student night (suitably named Magic Monday) kicks off the week, where a variety of music is played. Mondays are student nights, but called 'fatpoppadaddys'; Tuesdays are r'n'b/hip hop/dancehall and Wednesdays are international night. Admission prices vary and usually cost about GBP8 on weekends.

This basement music bar cum nightclub is a hangout for the grooviest clubbers in Cambridge.

Watch out though, because the club's popularity can often mean queues forming after 10p, so arrive early to guarantee entry! Review © 2007, Wcities |
