Quick info
About Bar -OH
Bar -OH is a cocktail bar and live music venue on Downing Place in Cambridge, pairing a cocktail programme with free-to-use video game consoles. The room runs as both a gaming lounge and a drinks bar, with the console setup sitting alongside the cocktail service rather than in a separate area. Cocktails anchor the menu, and live music takes over on Fridays and weekends, layering performances onto the bar's usual run. Tables can be booked in advance, with the venue holding longer sits for groups settling in for the evening. The format suits both a casual drink and a longer night out, mixing console play with live sets under one roof. The downstairs gaming space adds a second room to the offering, giving visitors somewhere to switch between drinks, games and the stage without leaving the venue.

“Booked a table for 3 hours was really fun and something different would come back for sure.”
- Beth Webb
“Made our evening, the place was beautiful with great live music and atmosphere, was very impressed by the games and even more so by the cocktails which were the most enjoyable drinks that far exceeded my already high expectations. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, especially Will and Riley, who went out of their way to help us out and were great to talk to!”
