The top Cambridge pubs for a student date night
The Fort St. George
Romantic riverside views? Check. Strong food menu with light bites and bigger meals? Check. Comprehensive drinks list with lots of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails? Check. Nooks and crannies inside for a bit of hand-holding and eye-gazing? You bet. The handsome Fort St. George has a lovely location on the south bank of the River Cam, and is usually a little quieter than some of the other waterside pubs in Cambridge… making it the perfect spot for a student date night.
The Anchor
Another riverside pub that seduces you with views across the water, you get a prime position for watching tourists have a go at punting from the Anchor. A great icebreaker on a summer’s evening, the hustle and bustle of this pub can help you avoid those awkward silences that can happen on a first date. If you go to Queens’ College, this one’s only a matter of steps from class – as well as the iconic Mathematical Bridge.
The Little Rose
Roses are red, violets are blue. This is one of the best pubs for students like you. The Little Rose sets the scene for romance with a charming name matched by an equally charming interior. The building dates back some 500 years, and proudly bears original features like exposed wooden beams. Food’s served ’til 10pm every night except Sundays, including seafood specialities like the famous aphrodisiac, oysters. The pub also runs a cocktail offer all day, every day. And you can wash down those oysters with a couple of espresso martinis – classy.
The Grain & Hop Store
Last on our list of Cambridge pubs for date night is the Grain & Hop Store. A great place to inject some fun into your evening with a game of shuffleboard, you can also catch some live music at this pub. Craft beers and cocktails are on the drinks menu, while food ranges from larger meals to small plates and sharers, with plenty of veggie and vegan options too. Obviously, you don’t want to come across as cheap on your date, but the pub also runs student offers so you can save on your food and drinks.
