The Golden Hind is a Greene King pub and restaurant on Milton Road in north Cambridge, with a roughly 90-capacity room and an upstairs function space that doubles as a live-music venue. Its headline draw is the Cambridge Folk Club, the city's oldest folk club, which meets every Friday at 8pm presenting the best in new, local and national acoustic music. A six-figure refurbishment in 2025 added a brighter bar and dining area alongside sports viewing and live entertainment — bands, DJs and karaoke. With free parking, a full pub-food menu and a reliable in-house PA, it's a welcoming, unpretentious base for folk and acoustic acts in Cambridge.
