"The Elm Tree doesn’t serve food. It’s a beerhead’s pub, in many respects, with a laminated book running the gamut of Belgian brewing styles and plenty of interesting ales on cask. But it’s worth a visit to enjoy those beers in a staggering interior, with armchair furniture, walls lined with beer labels, bottle caps, and posters, and come autumn time, witches’ hats stuck to the ceilings like stalactites. It may not be the sine qua non best pub in Cambridge, but it’s a standard-bearer for traditional pubs in a city heaving with them." - James Hansen
