Panton Arms — Pub in Cambridge

You can find The Panton Arms on Panton Street in Cambridge, just outside the city centre. It’s a traditional dog-friendly pub known for its quality beers and regular Irish Folk Jam session every Thursday. Open from midday to late evenings, it's a solid pick for a relaxed drink after work or with friends on weekends.

About The Venue

The Panton Arms has a straightforward interior, wooden beams, polished floors, and standard bar fixtures typical of older Cambridge pubs. Located on Panton Street, it’s within walking distance of colleges but not in the city centre core. The pub runs consistently with no major renovations or architectural updates since its early 20th-century origins. It focuses on serving quality beers, wines, and spirits without fanfare, maintaining a quiet local feel rather than aiming for big events.

Typical Experiences

Go to The Panton Arms for weekday pints after work or weekend drinks that go until midnight. Don’t miss the weekly Irish Folk Jam session on Thursdays, small crowds gather for live acoustic music in an unpretentious setting. Entry is free, and the focus remains on good beer and casual conversation rather than curated nightlife.
