This is where Watson announced that he and Crick “discovered” the double helix. Other than that, pretty standard. Good Mac & Cheese !

V.busy on the weekends. Head to the RAF room for the best tables (where James Watson used to sit). The fish and chips are excellent value.

Beth Sylvester

Walk through the archway, through the outside seating and in a side door. You’ll end up in the RAG Bar with some very historic graffiti

Adrian Flintoft

Good pub grub , not cheap but not too bad foe Cambridge. Gets very busy so avoid peak times, worth the visit & other options close by if it's too busy.

I have mixed feeling (i.e., I would like to give 3.5 points, haha). If I recommend it to my friends, I would say, "try it if you are a tourist ." FYI, the food I tried was a burger .

ARM's microprocessors are in almost all the world’s smartphones, so its employees have a lot to accomplish every day. But after work, they relax at this local pub , which is more than 300 years old.

Carl Griffin

Where Crick & Watson announced their discovery of DNA . Great real ales .

Brian T.

Touristy , but for legitimate reasons. As a result, it can get annoyingly busy, but it's worth a visit for it's history

Krystel Justice

Fantastic historic pub , with ties to the USAF and the discovery of DNA . Food was yummy!

If you can find a seat outside in the courtyard in a sunny day, you're a winner...

Great for a pint in the little alcoves or outdoors! Food is run-of-the-mill pub fare , a touch bland

A Cambridge institution. Often full and good atmosphere.

A good place to visit but not to stay. Wonderful history but a standard pub offering
