About Six Bells
The Six Bells is a traditional community local on Covent Garden, just off Mill Road in Cambridge, and has served the city for well over a century. It's a proper neighbourhood pub — pulling in locals, students, quizzers, pool and darts players, and a steady crowd of music, book and poetry buffs — with a beer garden out back. Live music plays every Saturday night with free entry, and the calendar also includes regular open mic nights alongside steak nights, pub quizzes and even a knitting club. The room holds roughly 80, and it welcomes both original acts and covers across a mix of genres, making it a friendly grassroots spot in Cambridge's Petersfield ward.
