The Bar

Emma Bar

The Emma bar is one of the best college bars in Cambridge. It's student-run, which makes for a great atmosphere and cheap prices. Anyone can work behind the bar and it's a good way to meet new people. The bar also has plenty of customers from other colleges, as some college bars are pretty poor in comparison!

The bar serves most drinks, albeit from plastic cups of various garish shades, and normal closing time is 11. Twice a term there is a bar extension, usually fancy dress themed, where the bar stays open later, until 2, and the bar is filled with Emma students in daft costumes dancing to cheesy music. There is also Emma Ents, one of Cambridge's best known student-run club night. Other big events such as "Show Your True Colours", a charity event where the dress code was Emmanuel pink and blue (see picture), and the unforgettable "Miss Emmanuelle".
