Discover the 6 new stylish bars in Cambridge
Who doesn’t like a fancy cocktail? I like it strong, so a Negroni or a dry Martini stirred, not shaken, are right up my street. My new love these days is actually an Old Fashioned, perfect for a cold winter’s day, and on a hot summer’s day, I go for a lighter twist made with Adnams Whisky.
Wondering where to go for a nice cocktail in Cambridge? You’re in for a winner! Cambridge wasn’t lacking great cocktail bars, and recently it has become even better!
The Orator at the Cambridge Union
After a complete make over the Cambridge Union Society re-opened during the summer of 2021. It has long since hosted famous speakers for drinks after spirited speeches or passionate debates. While this history still stands strong, The Orator Brasserie and Bar now provides a perfect destination for city dwellers and visitors, as well as Union members. Tucked away behind the Round Church in Bridge Street is a hidden gem away from the crowds.
The Garden House at the Graduate Hotel
The Garden House at Mill Pond is a relatively easy find if you know Cambridge, but you’ll be surprised how many visitors to our city never visit this scenic spot. The recent refurbishment of the Gardenhouse is absolutely stunning! It hosts a restaurant with views over the river, the poshest riverside terrace in Cambridge, and a pretty swanky bar!
The Tipsy Vegan at the Quayside
Just a stone’s throw away from the Orator, you’ll find The Tipsy Vegan at the Quayside with stunning views over the River Cam and the Colleges. This excellent Vegan Restaurant opened its doors in July 2021, and although it is not a dedicated cocktail bar, it serves some smashing cocktails! Michelle, one of the owners, loves Bourbon, so you are in for a treat if it’s one of your favourite drinks! Head over to their website to book your table!

Two of the new openings are in Edington in North Cambridge, just off Histon Road. It’s easy to get to from central Cambridge and a perfect location for a short stay in Cambridge away from the crowds.
