An Edwardian-style, 23-tap craft beer and gin palace, Pint Shop also serves cracking bar snacks (chips and curry sauce, scotch eggs etc, from £3.50) and, in its restaurant, ace small-plates such as fried squid with saffron aioli and charcoal-grilled flatbread kebabs. “It’s a city centre favourite and the covered beer garden is cosy in winter,” says Heidi White, founder of foodPark, a collective of food trucks that serves lunch in various Cambridge locations weekly. “I’m into Pint Shop’s brewery collaborations, such as the dry-hopped pils, Appalachian Green, created with Marble Beers, and new gins are always being added.”Pint from £3.60, 10 Peas Hill, pintshop.co.uk

Despite the dazzling blackboard list of cask and keg beers, this place is more gastro than pub. It claims its inspiration as 1830s beerhouses, yet the food is thoroughly contemporary as is the parquet flooring and hip dangling lights (watch your head). Obliging young wait staff can point you to old menu favourites – the superb overnight pork belly has been featured since the opening day in 2013 – and to classicdishes such as Scotch eggs, British charcuterie sharing boards and chimchirri cauliflower (proving flexibility in the restaurant's subtitle "Meat Bread Beer").

Gastropub, Pub Grub, Beer, Wine, Cocktails, British, $$ The Pint Shop draws inspiration for its design and service style from the beer houses of the 1830’s, establishments which transformed beer from primarily a rich man’s beverage into a drink enjoyed and afforded by all. The pub offers a range of low-priced gins, whiskeys and beers, and the quaint architecture adds to the historical charm of the place. The Pint Shop also boasts an excellent restaurant, with food choices including flatbreads, whole fish and gourmet salads.

Popular Pint Shop's vision is to embrace eating and drinking equally. To this end, it's both a busy bar specialising in draught craft beer and a stylish…

A rather hip bar by Cambridge standards (there is lots of wood panelling, industrial lighting, vintage-looking brass taps on the bar), Pint Shop specialises in cutting-edge craft beers. Its 10 keg and six cask lines were, on this visit, pouring beers from Arbor, Thornbridge, Redemption, Redwell and Dutch brewery Kaapse, as well as an intriguing Imperial India Brown beer from Beavertown in collaboration with Canada’s Bellwoods. I opted for Marble’s marvellous Pint, which – lingeringly bitter, full of floral and tropical fruit flavours – was a reminder of just how much flavour a skilled brewer can pack into a 3.9% session ale.• Pint from £3.80, 10 Peas Hill, 01223 352293, pintshop.co.uk

After a good look round we hastily finished our drinks and went to leave, noticing the American accents of the only other customers as we passed them, and spontaneously stopping to urge these visitors to Cambridge, who’d unknowingly found themselves in Quinns because it happened to be the nearest place they’d found after leaving the car park, to go to ANY other nearby bar – the Pint Shop, the Eagle even (come on, they loved its potted history, what with its RAF bar and associations with American airmen), anywhere but here.

Glyn Britton, chief customer officer at Bionic, said: "The lockdowns have been hard for many small businesses so next time you’re in need of some essentials or even just fancy a pint, try heading down to your local high street to explore what’s on offer at the grocery shops, restaurants, pubs and microbreweries. You won’t just be getting goods, you’ll be helping to support the future growth of your neighbourhood and help give back to your community.

Of the plethora of chic microbreweries that have popped up in Cambridge in the last few years, The Pint Shop has proved one of the most successful. The bar inhabits a Grade-II listed building in the heart of the city and has been stylishly decorated with pop art and alternative photos. On Sundays, their surprisingly gourmet menu of charcoal grill mains give way to the more traditional roasts - beef, pork and chicken are all on offer.

Set in an 1830s building that was once home to the novelist EM Forster, Pint Shop opened in 2013 opposite the Cambridge Arts Theatre and next door to the Corn Exchange music and arts venue, making it perfect for pre- and post-theatre meals as well as fine beers, wine and spirits. The menu is pub-grub reimagined, so paprika pork-belly kebabs in coal-baked flatbread sit alongside celeriac schnitzel and vegan and real burgers and fries.

A classy vegan restaurant that appeals to non-vegetarians is Stem and Glory on King’s Street. If you can’t forgo the meat, the Pint Shop gastropub (in the former home of EM Forster, opposite the Arts Theatre) is for you – try its scotch egg, with the bonus of craft beer or artisan gins. Close by, The Senate is a good-quality Mediterranean bistro at medium prices.

The building that the Pint Shop now occupies was once home to EM Forster, making it a great destination for anyone interested in the city’s literary past.

In early 2013 we found an empty grade II-listed office building in the centre of Cambridge and fell in love with it. The building dates from 1830 and was once a house (EM Forster once lived there). It felt like the perfect place to open our very first pint shop.
