The Kambar

Built in the mid 17th century, Kambar is housed in a grade 1 listed building steeped in history. Many of the structural wooden beams arrived in Cambridge having been transported up the river Cam after they were salvaged from wrecked sailing ships. A main supporting beam beneath the dancefloor is a 3' square beam taken from such a ship, dating back to 1624. In its long history, the building has been used as a butcher's, a tea shop, private housing and a restaurant. During its time as a nightclub Kambar has hosted some of Cambridge's finest and longest running clubnights, a tradition that continues to this day. Website Design by Alternation Media © 2005.
