About This Pub

Ah, Ta Bouche – it's one of those places in Cambridge that just draws you in with its buzzing energy and top-notch cocktails. From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, it's a real gem for anyone wanting to enjoy a few drinks without breaking the bank, especially with those extended happy hours that go on till late. The staff seem like absolute stars, always up for a chat and mixing up whatever you fancy, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting. That said, it's not all smooth sailing; it can get absolutely packed, turning into a bit of a madhouse on weekends, and since they don't take bookings, you might find yourself hovering for a spot. Still, if you're up for a casual vibe with some outdoor seating to soak in the city air, I'd say it's well worth a visit – just pop in early or give them a ring to check how busy it is. Overall, it's a solid choice for a fun night, balancing those affordable drinks and friendly service against the occasional chaos.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The cocktail selection is fantastic, with loads of options and great happy hour deals like two for £15, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly night out.
  • The staff are really friendly and know their stuff – they can whip up just about any drink you fancy, which adds to the welcoming vibe.
  • It's got a casual, vibrant atmosphere with plenty of outdoor seating, ideal for enjoying a drink in Cambridge city centre, especially during those milder evenings.
  • Happy hour runs late, up to 11pm on Sundays through Thursdays, so you can catch a bargain without rushing.
Cons
  • It can get pretty hectic and crowded, turning into what some might call 'carnage', which isn't ideal if you're after a more relaxed evening.
  • No reservations means it's first come, first served, so you might end up waiting or struggling to find a table on busier nights.
  • The place leans more towards a bar feel than a proper restaurant, so if you're looking for a sit-down meal, it might not quite hit the mark.

The bar staff certainly know what they're doing they can make anything it's a shame they don't work somewhere more relaxed though the place is always carnage.

Nice little bar. Very friendly staff. 2 for 1 cocktails during the long 'happy hour' are good value😊

Pretty cool spot, nothing too fancy, but it's a nice casual spot for cocktails. They have nice drinks and do happy hour for mix&match cocktails, even on Fridays and Saturdays, with some good (but not too loud) music, would definitely recommend.

Loved the vegan pop up here! The vegan milkshake was AMAZING and so were the onion rings. The vegan burgers were very fairly priced. There is definitely more of a bar vibe to Ta Bouche than a restaurant vibe, so I’d recommend coming here for a quick lunch or date night!
