A reasonable backstreet pub albeit somewhat modernised inside, my three Blind Mice Porterhouse Blues was a good drop. I didn't really warm to the interior despite some decent ale, worth the visit though.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Alexandra Arms
Solid, side-street pub with a modernised (but not excessively so) interior. Although a Greene King house, none of its beers was available, with Wolf Brewery's Mad Wolf (£2.45, half) being one of four cask ales and a cider being poured from a total of eight handpumps.

First time to visit for me as I usually restrict myself to one GK pub maximum a day and that would be the nearby Free Press. However, on the PuG crawl running list it was so I dutifully entered my, god forbid, third Greene King pub of the day.
Fortunately, in keeping with the others, another of the GK stable in Cambridge that supports a decent guest ale offering as detailed by the reviewer below and my Three Blind Mice Porter was very decent.
A nice looking pub from the outside but I wasn’t so keen on this one inside and the modern bare boarded space wasn’t really to my liking, especially the area with the bench seating which sported a wall papered wall that was conducive to headaches. And I’m not a great fan of being able to see the workers in the kitchen whilst I’m sitting there drinking.
However, what I was very impressed with was the outside courtyard area at the back which was largely undercover and extremely well designed and laid out. If there was anything resembling a silver lining from the Pandemic it is that a lot of pubs now that their outside spaces as a feature rather than an afterthought.
Still don’t think I would rush back to this one, given what lurks nearby.
