FAQs about Top Private Bars in Cambridge
You'll find a mix of stylish modern bars, classic pubs, and multipurpose event spaces in the city. Revolution Cambridge offers several zones across its large event space—great for birthday parties or team events. The Terrace and Rooftop at The Tivoli offers excellent views of Jesus Green and River Cam and it is the only all weather rooftop location in Cambridge! There are also more intimate spots like The Portland Arms for smaller groups looking for a cosier feel.
If you're planning for 100+ guests, look at venues like Vinyl Cambridge (with a standing capacity of 650) or the full-venue hire option at The Tivoli. These spaces are set up for big groups, often with multiple bars, lighting setups, and even DJ or dancefloor areas available.
If you're eyeing a weekend evening—especially in term time when students and locals are out in force—try to book at least 4 to 8 weeks ahead. For weekday or daytime events, you’ll usually have a bit more flexibility.
