The Cambridge Arms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cambridge Arms is a pub in Cambridge, England located on King Street. The pub is one of The King Street Run referring to the practice of consuming one pint of beer in each pub in King Street in the quickest time.

The Cambridge Arms was popular among the Heavy Metal and Rock communities in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Due to its proximity to the Cambridge Corn Exchange many famous musicians would be spotted there relaxing between their soundcheck and showtime for which it became famous. The pub had two bars, a heated courtyard and a small basement. It was also popular with the biker community.

In 1997 it was renamed "The Rattle and Hum", borrowing the tile of U2's album Rattle and Hum. Following a refit in 2004, the pub reopened as the "Cambridge Arms". It remains a popular pub in Cambridge.
