There are two pubs on Young Street; the Oxford Bar and the
Cambridge. Cambridge beat Oxford in the 2012 Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race,
and in my opinion the Cambridge Bar wins over the Oxford Bar every time!
Where the Oxford does a grotty small pub, the Cambridge does
a comfortable bar with a nice atmosphere. Where the Oxford favours miserable
old men as punters, the Cambridge has a mixed clientele and some hot barmaids. For
entertainment the Oxford has an ancient telly you could anchor a boat to, while
the Cambridge has a flat screen TV (on which you can watch actual sport rather
than just Sky Sports News) and supplies newspapers and even (god forbid) background
music!
But most of all, while the only food the on offer at the
Oxford are stale pies, the Cambridge serves a delicious variety of burgers
cooked on site. Yes it’s all about the burger at the Cambridge.
The Cambridge also serves beer! Though even if it didn’t I’d
still favour this bar to its boat race competitor.
