Baron of Beef

You know the type of pub that just works? The Baron sits right on Bridge Street with enough character to feel lived-in without trying too hard. It's the sort of place where you can pop in for a quick pint after wandering through the Backs or grab a booth with mates for proper pub fare that doesn't disappoint. The Greene King chain does reliability well, and this one benefits from its central location and that distinctly Cambridge vibe—student, townie, tourist, academic all mixing naturally over a drink.
