Parker’s Tavern guests will discover an inventive cocktail menu as well as the usual nightcap classics.
Our cocktails follow a slightly different ethic, celebrating Cambridge’s spirit of invention with mixology that reinvents the classics. The Bloomsbury Boozer. Wittgenstein’s Poker. Blushing Byron. Each drink has a story, each twist a Cambridge link.
The Bloomsbury Set was a formidable group of writers, academics and intellectuals who met at Cambridge during their boozy student days.
Cambridge Dry Gin, Raspberry, Elderflower, Super Lemon, Grenadine, Egg White
The Cambridge Five was a Soviet spy ring recruited while at the University. Rumour has it there was a sixth member who was never caught.
Buffalo Trace, Johnnie Walker Black, Salted Caramel, Super Lemon, Egg White
Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the twentieth century’s most important philosophers, was known for his fiery temper. He once waved a hot poker in the face of a visiting lecturer at King’s.
Cambridge Dry Gin, Rhubarb Shrub, Cointreau, Luxardo Maraschino, Super Lime, Egg White
Top quality professional jazz comes to Parker’s Tavern bar every Friday. Sip away at Parker’s Tavern signature cocktails and enjoy the swinging sounds of some amazing UK based jazz professionals. Trios led by charismatic and highly regarded saxophonists Sam Miles and Tim Boniface make Parker’s Tavern the place to go for jazz on a Friday night.
Every Friday, 9-11:30pm. All are welcome, no booking required.
It should reward the curious palate, without punishing the traditionalist who knows what they like. Among Cambridge’s bon vivants and connoisseurs, the reputation of the University Arms’ cellar has always been great.
With our reinvention, we have gone back to a selection of beautiful wines that need not cost the earth (but a few that do).
Parker’s Tavern Restaurant marks a homecoming. A return to good, unpretentious British cooking. No fuss. No froth.
Just fresh, honest ingredients, locally sourced and put together on a simple plate. A knife, fork and spoon. Conjured by a spectacular chef.
