The Six Bells in Cambridge

Staff are great, BB was especially welcoming and helped us with recommendations as only in the area for a weekend away, good vibes and wanted to stay.

great bar w/ great staff & clientele; good beer selection; lovely, small garden, and a bar pool table. checks boxes for cozy yet youthful and close but out of the city center.

Love Eileen simple as.. if you got an argument then Bugger off. If you like liberal and creative people and a family led pub then happy days. Reading the one star brought tears to our faces.lol. Bb thumbs up 👍

Be careful not to try to enter by the wrong of their three entrances or you will be deemed "too drunk" by a hostess with green hair and more piercings than a dartboard.

Nice pub for drinks and great area in the back with a pool table and darts board.

A wonderful pub with real heart. Friendly service and great live music!

Lovely cosy pub, the staff are so lovely and friendly, really make you feel welcome!

Nice and cozy pub, me and my BF came here for first time and it has lovely vibe, nice, friendly and helpful staff. Good range of drinks and plenty seating inside and outside in garden area. Good place to come and relax and have a pint of beer.

Love this place. Great atmosphere. Great people. Love it

This Pub in my opinion is the best around! A good old fashioned boozer. Lovely landlady in charge.

The family atmosphere, live music, great spirits, what a pub..in the heart of England, salt of the earth. A Guiness there is something special indeed

Quirky little back street pub which are often the gems. Give it a try...

When is Elvis going to play again I didn't eat food ...it is one of the last old school pubs in cam which is about the people

Mikey was amazing great bar staff and lovely pub vibe

Bar tender mikey was fantastic.

We visited this pub during August of 2023 and Mikey was the best member of staff going. He was hot on our drinks, excellent at giving advice of what to try and made me feel very at home. Had a great time and the other members of staff were great too!

Proper old style pub serving the community with decent real ale and a lovely lady in charge.

Great local pub with good prices and a great vibe. Not for everyone.

It's an Irish pub and there's always something going on every night of the week.

Very lovely pub, great staff, good prices, perfect pub atmosphere

If its a REAL friendly local pub with best live music then this is way best pub in Cambridge. It's the way I remember pubs used to be

I came on a Saturday morning for Harry's Bar for a bloody mary and a DELICIOUS sausage baguette. Harry is a SUPERB bartender and the six bells is a lovely, comfortable and cosy pub to have a chilled out Saturday in!

A cool place I kind of randomly choose because it was close to where I was staying and I didn't regret. It feels very authentic, it doesn't try to be something specific other than a nice place to be. Down to earth and a nice atmosphere with a friendly guy behind the bar, decor not sure how to describe it and here it doesn't really matter.

Cosy, friendly, no-frills pub. The pub quiz is superb and the staff are great.

Gr8 local boozer, friendly folk & lovely bar staff, gr8 crew.

Excellent night out in a really vibrant local pub. Friendly and quirky. Love it!

Best Guinness in Cambridge. A lovely landlady, very friendly bar staff and customers. Plus there is a piano in the bar.

Me Elle and Ju thumbs up best venue ever

Se vc está em Cambridge estudando ingles, esse é um ótimo lugar p treinar o idioma, o pessoal se encontras às quartas com essa finalidade. Bebidas ok porém se quer comer não tem, apenas alguns "salgadinhos" de pacote, desses industrializados, comida, lanche ou porção não tem, é um lugar para beber mesmo kkk, ambiente bem legal

This sort of pub is a real rarity these days - a truly traditional place with a strong community feeling. The staff are all lovely, friendly and generally quite quirky. You feel quickly at home here.

So far the cosiest pub in cambridge! Seems to have a busy agenda also. With pub quiz nights and live music 🎶

Really liked this place, the owner is personable and witty. Has an outdoor area with a heated cubby hole. Indoor area with pool table and dart board.

Friendly and fun with live music

Nice little bar, great place to unwind and hangout with your friends.

A wonderful community pub just off Mill Road. Live music, a jukebox, and a pool table at the back. Always a good experience.

Friendly staff, good Jukebox and pool table. Great that pubs like this don't change. 👍. Updated in 2022 and pleased to say exactly the same.

The staff were welcoming and genuinely care about your time. Good selection of beer with a decent sized courtyard garden. Also includes dart board and pool table so endless fun with family or friends.

Lovely little pub, was packed when we went with a live band as well

Six Bells is a solid neighbourhood bar, locals and some connoisseurs gather here to drink lovely beers and beyond. The camaraderie is high and social interaction is welcomed and affable. I come occasionally with visitors so they can see a classic pub that it is not sold...

Very quiet when we went in there. No music in the background so was a bit awkward at first. Good selection of alcohol though.

If you haven't been here, you shouldn't have! The wings on the grill are delicious.

Mostly down to the Landlady. Both pub and her, lovely.

It's banging, great pub, loved my time here, went with mates, the bartender lady was lovely, super good service

Lovely little pub on the corner great service and staff ,great atmosphere had a great evening

Nice atmosphere and kind staff!

Warm friendly pub, good Guinness

Found this Pub by accident and had a great time , bar staff very friendly . Will call again if in Cambridge.

Great pub/restaurant, friendly and professional staff. Menu was good, quick delivery of food. Good portions, tasty, prices were reasonable and well presented. Would recommend to all to use.

Nice little pub hidden away down a lane. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The loos need a bit of a refresh as they are a tad grotty. Lots of regulars here who seemed to be having a great time.

Best pub for a community feel. I love it there! Definitely will go again!!! Although I already go there quite a bit.

A little gem in Cambridge, a highlight of my trip. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff efficient and helpful and the quality of the musicians was excellent. Best mug of tea I got in Cambridge too, Eileen has a magic touch, I wish this was my local pub.

I’m trying hard to think of something positive to say about this place but it’s not happening. The food we had was basic - cardboard chips with a hair baked into my quiche, no dressing for the salads that came, the curry was served up- something in a sauce plonked in the middle of a circle of rice with no further accompaniments, my wine glass had red wine on the rim from another customer (I was drinking white). Not one for being squeamish I felt sick when I discovered the hair after the dirty wine glass and just wanted to get out. It’s stuck in a time warp - pinewood panelling all over the place and a bit rough another edges. I definitely won’t be back.

We were comfortably accommodated with excellent food and drinks. Lovely evening sitting outside. Well organised by staff. Friendly intimate surroundings in easy to find place

It was so nice to visit The Six Bells after a few years absence. A college reunion brought some old friends together for an evening of great food and beer in a great environment. Eileen, the landlady, went the extra mile to make the evening special for everyone. Her staff were so friendly and helpful, the food was superb (I had a steak which I'd rate 11/10), the accompanying ale was tip top. I will be re-visiting shortly. I highly recommend The Six Bells

The Six Bells proved to be the perfect place for a 40th anniversary reunion of students from 1979 - we used to visit this pub back then, and it’s still well worth the trip! Eileen, the landlady, and her staff did everything to help us - they had cleared a room for us so that we could chat before eating, and had set up all of the tables for us to eat in the garden area. The food came exactly as we had pre-ordered it (there were 35 of us!), and everyone commented on how they had enjoyed their meals! Eileen even made a fabulous apple crumble dessert for us all at no extra charge! The beers were great too, and the atmosphere, with live music in the bar, was really friendly and fun - absolutely perfect!!

Fun little local. Live mellow music. Picked up about 9 on a Saturday. Not much food, but nice enough to make an ok burger.

Lovely friendly pub where we popped in for a pint and stayed for a feed and a few more pints. Steak, chicken curry and veg curry all very good.

Wie man sich einen Pub vorstellt, nur kleiner. Beef Burger mit Chips für 7.50 lassen über das recht teuere Bier hinwegsehen. Sehr herzliches Personal.

Such a welcoming Pub. Great music at the weekend and even better food. The landlady and the bar staff are accommodating and very welcoming. I will definitely be back

Lovely little pub with a very friendly land lady,but unfortunately probably the grumpiest most unwelcoming landlord I have ever come across!

Enjoyed a late Wednesday night lager in The Six Bells. A traditional pub, perhaps not the roomiest, off Mill Road and can be made a part of a Mill Road bar run. Always a pleasure

Amazing little pub close to the train station. Owners are incredibly friendly and went out of their way to assist us greatly in a time of need. Thank you for making our stay in Cambridge what it was

Thanks Eileen for welcoming us to your lovely pub, we had a great night - interesting beer, good food, friendly locals and amazing musicians.

Whenever I visit Cambridge, the Six Bells pub is always on my priority list. It is a lovely traditional pub with welcoming friendly atmosphere and cosy vibes. Beers are very good, the selection is great. But the highlight of the experience is the food. Their steak is legendary, grilled to perfection and served with chips, grilled mushrooms and tomatoes. The pub also runs a weekly quiz (serving homemade chips) and if lucky you can get a quick tip from the landlord across the tilt, who happens to know everything there is to know about everything.

Visitamos el seis campanas por primera vez hoy. Nos quedamos tirados en por la música de la fabulosa "artinis que eran perfectos para escuchar mientras comíamos una cena espléndida de cerdo asadas con chispeante y budín de Yorkshire, que fue traído a mesa con sonrisas felices.

Encontré este pub buscando en tripadvisor. Queríamos reservar un lugar con buena comida, pero a un precio razonable. Este era el lugar correcto. La comida era excelente, los platos estaban llenos y nos ofrecieron más de cualquier etc. verduras Personal amable y no ocupado en el domingo que visitamos. Mi hijo está en la universidad de Cambridge, así que caminamos desde su lugar, en lugar de buscar aparcamiento. Este fue un buen paso y disfrutamos del paseo por la ciudad.

Visité el seis campanas para comer el domingo con un amigo. Había una variedad de un par de carnes y una opción vegetariana. Todo fue excelente, y nos ofrecieron extra para repetir en la cima de las porciones de carne ya generosa, 5 verduras, patatas crujientes asado y yorkshire flanes. A £8. 95 Este es probablemente la mejor relación calidad-precio el almuerzo de domingo en Cambridge. La cerveza era sabroso parecía bien cuidada.

Great pub to have a sunday lunch. Food great and portion size very generous. Great value for money. Warm and welcoming staff.

Vine a las seis campanas de Pascua almuerzo ya que has oído sobre el increíble asados que hacer allí.

Le Six Bells est un pub chaleureux à deux pas de Mill Road. J'aime son intérieur tout en bois, sa salle avec les canapés habillés de coussins tricotés et sa juke-box!

the six bells was very welcoming, all the bar staff were lovely and really helpful and e land lady was an utterly lovely lady who accomodated our every need! really great food all round great pub! would highly recommend!

Yo iba a comer como me lo dicen la comida era buena, pero cuando vi cómo

Las seis campanas es un centro tradicional de la ciudad calle secundaria pub, suelos de madera, música en vivo (en muchas noches y fines de semana), un menú a la medida y los que les encanta leer a charlar.

te Six Bells is a gem, tucked away off Mill Road and capturing the bohemian, eccentric and cosnopolitan spirit of the area. Sunday lunch is a particular highlight along with great beer, welcoming locals and a regular ptogramme of live music.

Popped in for a pint...great beers in this busy local. No frills just a good trad pub. Sunday Lunches are apparently very good value.

Nice local pub. We arrived there at 9:30 pm and only crisps were available as food. Good beer.Good atmosphere.

The Six Bells is a very friendly pub that serves a great Sunday lunch, fantastic steak and chips on a Thursday and a splendid chicken curry and chilli con carne during the week. Great value for money too.

It's such a great place for music and basic (enormous) meals, served up by Aunty Eileen O'Brien. Friendly locals, a true central Cambridge location.

I came here for a Sunday lunch with my friends and it was absolutely brilliant! Very reasonably priced, big portions and great quality food. The staff were very friendly and the drink was really good too. Will definitely be recommending and coming back soon!

This pub is the best in Cambridge . A real community pub . I have some very happy memories there. Always holds a special place in my heart

The Six Bells is a small pub tucked away off Mill Road. It is very much a neighbourhood local and when we were there early evening, it was quite quiet. They do offer live music on certain nights and having been to one of these I can vouch to the fact that it can get much busier.The range of beer was limited, but the size of the bar area precludes much more. The food menu was similarly limited with the usual range of pub food: ham, egg & chips, lasagne & chips, burger & chips, etc. My scampi was perfectly edible, but nothing out of the ordinary. The food was reasonable value with most dishes around the £7 mark. There were no desserts on offer.So, I don't think I would purposely seek out the Six Bells, except for a music night. There are nicer pubs and better food available in the immediate area. But having said that, it's not a bad place to go.

Great old fashioned local with friendly staff and good beer. Eileen, the Irish landlady made us very welcome and there was a great singer there on Saturday night. We didn't eat ourselves but the steaks on the next table looked very appetising

If good, home-made pub fare is what you're after, then this is a pretty good option. Don't expect gourmet food (or gourmet prices). Just expect decent, home cooking in a nice little pub just off the Mill Road area of Cambridge. they serve a good selection of beers, and the atmosphere is nice and friendly, though you might find the odd wobbly chair leg. I had the sausage and mash, and it was pretty good. If you're fussy about mashed potato, then you might want to give this a miss, because the potato was quite lumpy, but personally that doesn't bother me. Served with four sausages, and a huge boat full of gravy, this made for a nice lunch with a glass of coke. The ham, egg and chips also looked very nice indeed: two fried eggs with soft yolks, and thick cut ham - no pre-packed sliced ham here.

Lovely traditional community pub with a warm welcome for everyone whether local or just visiting Cambridge. Food excellent and great value. Look out for its events - music, charity events, the Monday quiz and exhbitions by local artists.

We went here for a wake. Place quite poky with small rooms and very old-fashioned feel. Needs some updating - though not too much, it has some real character which we hope they'll keep. Customers an eclectic mix, while we were there anyway. Staff nice and helpful.

The food at the Six Bells is excellent value. The chef Tony makes lovely pub style food. Sunday lunch is excellent and there is a vegetarian option. Both Tony and Eileen are great friendly hosts! Well kept real ale too!

I've been coming here for around 15 years. It's cosy, friendly, welcoming and unspoiled - a proper pub for sure. If it's your first time and Tony serves you, true, he might have an unfortunate demeanour if you're not used to him. But he's a good guy and he and Eileen do so much for the community. Don't expect refurbished gastro nonsense (though I'm a sucker for gastro nonsense too), just a comfortable place to have good beer, home-cooked food, or music or (my favourite) the Monday quiz (with free chips).

Eileen and Tony create a home from home but with an amazing variety of delicious beers, great food, and all sorts of entertainment from live music to sports (quizzing and snooker) to knitting!

Two of the best people in the business. Make you feel welcome with plenty of banter but if you want to be left alone Thats fine too. Great food is a bonus

I've lived in Cambridge for years and have only in the last few years rediscovered the Six Bells ... many local pubs have become 'theme' pubs, seeming to be more about the brewery than the customer, not so the Six Bells, it's very much at the heart of the local community. Excellent food (especially the steak on Thursday nights and the ever present ham egg and chips, and superb chilli), really good Guinness (it tastes like it does in Ireland), an interesting range of beers and so on ... there are lots of different areas so you can avoid either a quiet zone or a noisy zone, there is a pub garden / patio area at the back and a pool room and also a sofa area with toys which is great for young children, then at the front are two rooms one a bit of a snug and the other more open.The real joy of the Bells is the music ... so many different nights, an open mic every other Sunday, local musicians on Wednesdays, bluegrass, Irish, folk and then bigger band nights with everything from Cambridge legends Hedgepig to Elvis.There are knitting nights, a book club night, and a whole social world if you chose to get involved ... all very welcoming, or you can just sit and have a quiet drink or a romantic night in a corner or just chat with a whole variety of different people.Really worth turning down Covent Garden and popping in, but remember to take cash as they don't take cards.

Visited twice now as just around the corner from the dance studio where the daughter is studying. Friendly atmosphere, and really, and I mean really good food.

I can't recommend this place enough. We went on a Sunday and the roast was impressive. The quantity was more than a person could ever want but it was not overshadowing the quality of the handmade mashed potatoes or the excellent roast.We will definitely be back for more!

they dont ask for id and are happy to serve under 18s. i really recommend this is closed down immediately

One bar pub with various nooks and crannies.Excellent food. Interesting specials boards.Good real ale, although a little pricey for my taste.Friendly staff.

We had a great had a great Sunday lunch in this pub. It has several rooms including a kids play area and very nice garden. The lunch was super and we had a choice of Beef, Chicken, Pork and a vegetarian option. They serve a great range of real ales and beers

Inmitten der ruhigen Wohngegend einen authentischen Pub zu finden ist wie immer dem Zufall überlassen. Wir kamen recht spät ins 6Bells nach einem Pubquiz wurden die Stühle schon hochgestellt, jedoch wurde unser Wunsch nach einem Guiness erhört. Aber auch hier kostet ein Bier 4£....... Die Gegend ist von der Anglia Ruskin University dominiert. Einer Fachhochschule wie z.B. Bath Spa oder Oxford Brooks nicht zu verwechseln mit der richtigen University of Cambridge. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Was just visiting our son who has recently moved to the area so we were having a walk around & thought we would stop at this place for a drink.Not sure if the older man behind the bar was the owner but it was like we were being greeted by a grumpy guard dog!!!! Didn't say a word to us just snarled as we each scarily asked for our drinks & snacks then we legged it into the beer garden to get away from him & most of us were too scared to go back to get another drink.Don't think I've ever been in a place as a customer to get such an unwelcome welcome!!!!Won't go in there again :-( !!! Maybe other customers were too drunk already to notice as we went in the afternoon !!!!

What a great night we had lovely food fantastic atmosphere , very good night ,we had made so many friends on the night thank you for great night can't wait for our next visit .

Great burger with chips, nice owner/cooker, interesting and cozy environment. Suggest going there anytime anyday. They are open and you get more attention.
