Location and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "BrewDog is located just a short walk from the Grand arcade parking garage and in the heart of the restaurant area."
  • "A big fan of the brewdog so when going to a gig at corn exchange it was great as brewdog bar a 30 second walk to venue."

Cons:

  • "The Cambridge location used to be fine, but it’s going downhill very fast, I won’t be going there any longer."
  • "Absolutely terrible new Brewdog bar. Their focus is just to make money from food."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The burgers are really nice, I had the buffalo chicken burger and it was piled high with chicken and it was cooked really well."

  • "The food itself wasn't bad but covered in too much and unevenly with sauce."

  • "Tables were not cleared, one of the tables had ants and our food was delivered after 55 minutes."
  • "One of my favourite bars in Cambridge. BrewDog make some of the most amazing beer. This bar is more suited to people dining, lots of tables to sit at but the bar is a great place to enjoy your favourite BrewDog beverage! Friendly and knowledgeable staff make this place a please to keep coming back to!"
  • "The tables are usually quite dirty and the place lacks hygiene overall; the food seems to be made in a rush and with poor ingredients."
  • "Absolutely awful visit and won't be returning. The interior is extremely run down and tatty, found our way to a table, no menu and sticky surface so moved."
  • "Wanted to really like it - but the wait for food was incredibly long (about an hour), the chips were lukewarm at best."

Service

  • "Spent the evening here last night, as usual it was a great experience my partner worked his way through the beer menue and I had many pints of the Gluten free punk."
  • "Stopped in on. Monday afternoon so it was not very busy at all. Lots of seating available. We ordered food and a rum coke vanilla drinks. These were really good."

Cons:

  • "Even when empty it’s faster to walk down to the bar to order drinks."
  • "The service is like snail pace ..."
  • "We came with our kids and our friends with kids who were visiting. We ordered food and just after it was delivered to our table, we were told by a security guard that we needed to leave."
  • "When we asked for more we have been told that there were none left in the kitchen."
  • "Our server Izzy was very nice and kept checking in to make sure all was good."
  • "It took over an hour to get our first round of wings and nobody even came at our table at any point to ask whether we had ordered or if we needed anything."
  • "Waited over an hour and 20 mins for food. We only ordered fries and wings."
  • "Arrived and ordered through the QR code on the table. After 50 minutes we checked on our order to see why it was taking so long. The kitchen cancelled our order because they didn't have everything and no one told us."

Ambience and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "I've visited the Cambridge Brewdog bar twice now and find the staff extremely rude and make me feel as though I'm an inconvenience."
  • "The Brewdog industrial look to the pubs isn't to everyone's taste and the limited space configuration of the Cambridge venue seems to struggle with that."
  • "Really nice to have a brew dog bar with some lovely beers. Really busy, but extra seating upstairs."
  • "Food was really nice and of course the beers were great! All a bit pricey though, I thought Β£6.00 a pint was a bit steep when buying Brewdog directly from Brewdog."
