ARE KIDS ALLOWED? Yes, children are welcome! Under 18's are allowed in the venue till 7pm without a parent/guardian and till 9pm with a parent/guardian. As the Tivoli is a busy, wet-led venue we reserve the right to refuse entry or ask guests to leave should it be in the best interest of the group and other customers. CAN WE STAY OVER? Sadly no, but we have a sister pub, The Waterman, a two-minute walk awaythat has eight lovely rooms that we can happily get you booked in to if you are planning a Cambridge visit! If you are planning a large event and would like to book rooms alongside your Tivoli reservation just let us know and we will organise for you, subject to availability. IS THE VENUE ACCESSIBLE? All floor levels of the Tivoli are fully accessible using our available lifts, with the exception of ‘The Lookout’, which can only be reached via a short flight of stairs. All staircases have handrails and there is an accessible toilet on the lower ground floor in our Assembly Hall. Whilst all floors are accessible, the mini golf courses are not suitable for wheelchair users, prams or mobility frames. We do however have seating on this floor for guests to enjoy food & drinks next to the golf course. For specific accessibility queries please contact us for more details.

January 2025This was a Christmas outing and we had such a good time. Everyone from all age groups and backgrounds were having so much fun. A wide variety of drink was on offer with some great food.

December 2024We were at Tivoli as a family and the food is very good, we all loved it. The atmosphere is simply wonderful not only because of the decoration of the space itself, but also because of the dedication of the entire team. That night we were attended to by Marina, who tried very hard to make us feel comfortable. The food, drink, entertainment, and not least the music playlist presented took us to a unique experience. We spent a good couple of hours together that will remain in our memories forever.

January 2025We popped in late afternoon with our two young children to meet a couple of friends. We ate, my chicken burger was very disappointing, they used to have steak and honour which was great, not a fan of caddy shack based on that chicken burger. The consensus was the pizza was ok, American style, big, generous with the cheese and sauce but not very refined, dough wasn't great. You get a buzzer and pick up your own food and get drinks from the bar. I did see a table laid though so perhaps bookings get service. They don't really do cask ales but some nice lagers and their own pale ale is on tap. The stand out features are the games (shuffle board, crazy golf on another floor) and also the roof terrace and views of the Cam river. That makes the pub special and is probably why a lot of beers are £7. No doubt I'll be back with the kids to grab a drink and play some crazy golf. I also like the shabby chic decour.
