The best volunteer bar in Cambridge
Not to be confused with the Buttery, we are the student-run, 100% volunteer-based MCR bar at Christ’s.
With >190 items available at permanently cheap prices, Maggie’s (the MCR bar) is the heart and soul of grad life.
Bar Events
Cocktail Night
We open every Friday in term time (and some Fridays out of term) for cocktail night - the team cook up bespoke cocktails and mocktails, centred around a particular theme. When we say cocktails, we are serious - we regularly use fresh fruit lovingly juiced by hand, house-made syrups, and even house-infused lemon verbena vodka.
Bar Swaps
We organise mutual exchanges with other MCR Bars, including Pembroke and the legendary DarBar, granting Christ’s members access to another bar for a night

Join Maggie’s Bar Team
The bar could not run without the wonderful Maggie’s Bar Team - we gladly sacrifice our Friday nights in the pursuit of serving you the perfect bev. All 15 members of the bar team say that working the bar is incredibly rewarding. Concretely, the perks include
Free drinks at the bar
First dibs on places for bar swaps
Input into stocking decisions (have a favourite beer from your home country? We can order it in!)
The time commitment is generally less than an hour per week, and completely voluntary. It’s also a lot of fun!
