Explore Independent Cambridge: Thirsty Cambridge

With the help of Independent Cambridge - the community of ‘real’ Cambridge - Cambridge Network continues its weekly exploration of the best independent shops, cafés, restaurants, venues and events in Cambridge and the surrounding area. This week: Thirsty Cambridge.

STOP PRESS: After a very successful first year at the Museum of Technology on Riverside,  IndiePro member Thirsty Cambridge has announced the return of its hugely popular biergarten for summer 2018, this time in a new location – the gardens of St Giles’ Church, at the corner of Castle Street and Chesterton Lane (opposite Kettle's Yard).The biergarten will be open from 3-11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, 3-10pm on Sundays, closing on Sunday 2 September. Cheers!

Mitcham’s Corner is the area around the junction of Chesterton Road with Victoria Avenue, Victoria Road and Milton Road, just north of the river Cam. It's home to a growing number of fantastic independents including the irrepressible Thirsty Cambridge, making this particular corner of CB4 a real indie destination.

This indie drinks shop and bar aims to do things a bit differently – even (some might say) revolutionary! It’s a great little ‘offie’, with wine categorised by style rather than country, but with a whole lot more. There's plenty of seating for in-house drinking and socialising, and 22 taps (12 lines of craft beers, six lines of wine and even four lines of cocktails).

On the food-front, tasty meat, cheese or vegan platters are supplied by Culinaris – another local indie and a packed weekly schedule of visiting street food traders can be found pulling up outside. With Thirsty events popping up all around the city, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on their social media for updates.
