Nestled in the heart of Paris’ charming Marais district, The Cambridge Public House is an award‐winning neighbourhood bar and cocktail pub that opened its doors in 2019. This distinctive venue effortlessly blends the warming hospitality of a traditional British pub with the chic sophistication of a Parisian cocktail bar, delivering a relaxed and unique drinking experience that has quickly made it a local favourite.
From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by an inviting ambience that combines cosy comfort with refined elegance. The décor pays homage to classic British influences through subtle design elements, while the floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the front create a bright, airy space that lets in the essence of classic European café culture during the summer months. As twilight descends, the venue transforms into a vibrant late-night hotspot where expertly crafted cocktails flow until the early hours.
The cocktail menu at The Cambridge is a journey through both innovation and tradition. Inspired by the founders’ experiences in London—Hyacinthe Lescoët and Hugo Gallou—the menu features an evolving selection that uses the finest quality ingredients available. Signature drinks, such as the playful Pimms 7.0 (a creative reinvention of the British classic), the elegant Gimlet Julep, and the intriguing, smoky Cigarette After Sex, showcase imaginative twists on familiar favourites. Additionally, the weekly “Cocktail of the Week” offers an experimental delight crafted from leftover produce, ensuring there’s always something new to discover.
The culinary offerings are equally commendable. The menu includes hearty, comforting British classics like a rich chicken pie and a perfectly baked sausage roll, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a satisfying bite alongside a world-class drink. Whether you are stopping by for a casual drink or settling in for a leisurely evening of indulgence, the seamless service and meticulous attention to detail create an experience that is both welcoming and memorable.
Open from 3pm until late, The Cambridge Public House stands as a testament to the successful fusion of British tradition and Parisian flair—a hidden gem that offers a truly international escape right in the heart of the Marais.
