The Haymakers - Cambridge

Our group had two beers each, but the third beer was off. After a staff member tested it and determined it was chalky, they turned off the tap. The manager then turned it back on and advised us to try the beer before ordering next time. Despite there still being plenty of beer left in the barrel, we felt like we were being scolded and treated like children. We finished our drinks and left as we were not given an apology for the accusations made. It was our first time at the pub and we were disappointed by the treatment we received. We decided to go elsewhere for drinks, despite the rain. The experience left us feeling like we might as well have stayed at work.

A charming neighborhood pub with a spacious outdoor garden. They offer a selection of tasty local beers and dishes. Although they struggle with birds leaving droppings on the outdoor tables, it would be appreciated if they could clean it off.

The restaurant is great, but I was disappointed by the rude and unhelpful waitress behind the bar who lacked customer service skills. It's a shame because overall the restaurant had a fantastic atmosphere.

Great, traditional, family-friendly, neighbourhood-centred pub. A wide variety of things on tap and a startling selection of very good pizzas for any taste! We saw friends getting together to play board games, families visiting with each other, pals catching up, everything necessary to a good pub vibe. Oh, and the service was ridiculously fast!

My favourite pub in Cambridge against some tough competition. Still feels like a proper local, love the wood panelling and booths inside, and a decent garden out the back. Don't really understand a few of the negative reviews here. Guessing people went expecting a polished, posh gastropub or something. Had countless pizzas here and they've all been great, beer selection is excellent and local, supplemented by a few choice Belgian and German bottles. I think they have good options for gluten free and its a very LGBTQ+ friendly pub. Haymakers has a friendly atmosphere and a lovely alternative vibe. Staff have always been kind, charming, funny, suspect a few of the reviewers can't read sarcasm. I love the vibe here and I've never not enjoyed a visit.
