Going out in Cambridge

After 11.5 years in Cambridge, I would say my favourite places to go out are:

Restaurants
- The Oak Bistro (Lensfield Rd): Very good and affordable, [the owner: Philip (long hair) is great and friendly]
- D'Arrys (King Street): Australian restaurant, very affordable too
- Chez Gerard (Bridge Street): Affordable French restaurant
- Alimentum (Hills Road): Bit more upmarket, but great food and interior design (Jazz nights on Tuesdays)

Pubs
- The Geldart (1 Ainsworth Street): Gastro pub, with sometimes live music and art exhibition. Elvis (the landlord) is a great guy, go and say hi! Also has a beer garden and does hog roasts.
- The Pickerel (near Magdalene bridge): Supposedly the oldest pub in Cambridge, great beers and beer garden in the summer
- The Snug (Lensfield Rd): Nice and warm, makes good food too
- The Baron of Beef (Bridge Street): Great for football games

Bars
- The Arts Picturehouse bar (Regent Street): The bar of the cinema is good, and they also make crepes. Plus you can stay and watch a film, many world cinema films (French, etc) are shown there

Late night bars
- La Raza (Rose Crescent): My favourite haunt when on the booze late at night. DJ and sometimes band play there. Was once called a "girls' mine" by a friend of mine

Hope you enjoy these places and get back to me with feedback!
