Panton Arms

Head down Panton Street and you'll find yourself in one of those rare Cambridge pubs that actually feels like it belongs to the people who live here, not just the tourists passing through. The Panton Arms has the bones of a proper neighbourhood spot—dark wood, real ales on tap, the kind of place where regulars have their regular stools. The food's straightforward and honest: good quality pies, sandwiches, and pub classics that don't pretend to be anything fancier than they are. It's the sort of place you stumble into on a Wednesday night and somehow end up staying for three pints.
