This bar is where Sanger and his colleagues discovered DNA sequencing. We used to come here often when we were in school. It is very close to OPEN NARKET. I recommend it to everyone...
During a one-day trip to Cambridge, I came to the famous The Eagle. I had a painful experience finding a seat... I wandered around this small and narrow place for about ten minutes, but I couldn't find a seat. Later, I saw two empty seats next to a table. Auntie Chicago at the next table was also very nice, so the three of us sat down. [Location] Not far from King's College, the location is very central. Overall, the entire city center of Cambridge gives people a very centralized feeling. [Service] Two stars. It was almost 1pm when we went there, which was also a busy time. The bar was noisy and the space was small. When we were looking for a seat, we sometimes met with the waiter. Often we were the first to move aside and say sorry, and the waiter looked unhappy. Although it is understandable that busyness and crowds make people feel bad, I really don't think this is the attitude to treat customers. But there was a guy who was quite nice. He was busy serving food and asked us if we wanted to share a table. [Environment] It's actually quite tasteful, and the decoration is quite British. Lights, candlelight, wooden tables and chairs, warm colors. It's lively but also crowded and noisy. See if it's your type of place. [Taste] See the menu for price details. Basically, the main course starts from 9.5 pounds. Ordered a Pie of the day. The portion is really big. A huge crispy beef pie, a large portion of mashed potatoes, and a few scattered vegetables... Well, the British are just so careless about vegetables. The crispy crust is good, but the beef pie is salty overall, the mashed potatoes are not soft enough, and the vegetables are just boiled. It's not bad nor delicious, it's still okay to experience it. Remember to remember your table number and go to the front desk to order.
Close to King's College, one of Cambridge's oldest and most famous pubs, built in 1667. It is famous because Nobel laureates Francis Crick and James Wolfson announced the discovery of DNA here! A bronze plaque was set on the exterior wall of the bar entrance - Creek and Watson announced the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA here. The interior of the bar is very British! Its brunch has a traditional full English breakfast, and the fish&chips here are also doing well!
A bar with a long history, did not go in, but passed by during the day and night, there were a lot of people, the environment of the whole bar was generally the same, but there were a lot of flowers and plants, the seats were relatively narrow, and the space may be limited.
