Quick info
About Six Bells
Six Bells is a pub in Cambridge at 11 Covent Garden. Live music is on the programme, and a pub quiz runs alongside it. A pool table and a dartboard give visitors games to play between rounds and sets. Local art hangs on the walls inside. No food is served, but guests can bring their own from elsewhere and eat it in the pub. Dog owners can bring their pets along, since dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff are the most common thread, with reviewers describing a welcoming, cosy pub where the bartenders are helpful and management is accommodating. Live music comes close behind, and several mention catching a band or loads of gigs through the month. The pool table, darts, beer garden and local art also get mentions, and a few praise the good range of drinks and ales, with one calling the prices good. Food draws mixed comments. One reviewer says there is no food but outside food can be eaten inside, another praises the ales and food, and a lower rating cites warm beer and tasteless pork, beef and chicken. Others call the place authentic and down to earth, somewhere to relax with a pint. One visitor describes a great night listening to the band among friendly regulars.

“Lovely little cosy pub. Staff are super friendly and prices are good. No food but you can bring food from elsewhere and eat it inside. Loads of live music all month and such a welcoming friendly vibe. Has a beer garden, pool table, darts, and loads of local art. Would 100% make this my regular”

“Warm beer. 3 types of meat (pork, beef, chicken) and all of them were tasteless. I do not recommend it.”
