This establishment struck me as odd, not sure if I would classify it as pub. Large patio outside with roof. Bar room looks a bit like canteen, seemed very family and kids friendly. Good selection of cask beers + even more bottled beer. Some beers I haven't seen around. Friendly service. Gets quite crowded in the evening.

Taboada  (355) Compostela (Galiza), Spain | February 24, 2023
Visited February 2023. Local moi espacioso cunha gran terraza e un acolledor interior. Típico pub inglés con comida dispoñible e unha boa selección de cervexas, alguna local (Pastore, Three Blind Mice). Cervexas servidas en boa condición e ambiente agradable. Unha boa parada despois de andar por Cambridge e de camiño ao Brewhouse. Next one please!

Large interior, at least two rooms. Sadly the weather wasn't conducive to sitting outdoors. Lounge bar had just half a dozen or so beers, looks like many taps were just out. Lots of tables were reserved for food. Good service. Worth a look.

Located not so far from St John's College, with its entry on the corner of Park St and Lower Park St, moving into Portugal Place can be a bit confusing. A good independent freehouse with a friendly welcome. The lounge half-moon bar displays a great range of hand-pulled cask ales and craft beers on tap, I counted 12 cask ales and 15 kegs. Many local and regional beers, served in pint or half pint, no thirds. The beer menu can be read inside and outside in a cozy beer garden where we enjoyed our beers in sunny weather. Food options. Friendly owner who really took care of his pub. (Visited with Frau Eva 10.07.2019).

Beer pub just outside the center of Cambridge. Nice ambiance, with lots of tables outside. Inside it's not much. Quick service, no frills. 30 beers between tap and cask, so a nice and wide selection. Beers well preserved. Good prices (2.25 for half-pints). Overall, a very nice place. Also rather popular, apparently.

A plain older style beer bar with lots of hidden tables and outdoor seating. Good food and interesting beer selection. Great place for lunch on s Cambridge walk about.

20/04/18. Visited prior to Grant Lee Phillips' gig across the river. I'd already driven to Cheltenham JazzFest that day so was flagging and in urgent need of refreshment by the time I washed up here, and was underwhelmed. Fairylit awning with faux leather sofas and reclaimed sticks of wood. Extensive list of somewhat parochial cask and slightly racier keg. Scandinavian prices. Confidently left belongings unattended at my table in the confident and certain knowledge I could retrieve them by administering a thrashing to any one of the garrulous and annoying 20-something clientele in attendance: mostly professors and £2.57 overdrawn posh boys whimpering about how tough their lot in life is. Somehow not welcoming.

Great pub with lots of outdoor seating. The selction of both kegs and casks is excellent in terms of both quantity and quality. Glad we decided to go here as our final stop in Cambridge.
