For a Christmas party that gives the gift of atmosphere, La Raza will transport you and your colleagues from Cambridge to a sultry, low-lit underground bar for the evening, that feels straight out of the winding streets of Barcelona. A long-established local favourite, La Raza brings together tapas, cocktails and live music nights in a way that feels naturally suited to festive gatherings - lively, full of fun and perfect for groups.
Its location just off the market square makes it an easy meeting point, particularly for teams or groups arriving from across the city. Once inside, it's all about mood with low-lit, warm and sociable vibe - whether you're taking over just one table or the entire place.
Food is designed for sharing which encourages everyone to get involved with a menu that spans small plates, salads, sides, seafood, cured plates and croquettes. Get stuck into dishes such as a crayfish and prawn brioche roll which brings a richer, more indulgent note, while burrata with vine tomatoes, rocket and pesto keeps things fresh. Examples include baked chorizo with Mediterranean vegetables and especially desserts such as warm pastel de nata served alongside vanilla ice cream.
Drinks, as ever at La Raza, are central to the experience. Classic cocktails like Negronis, Old Fashioneds and Espresso Martinis are made with confidence, and there’s plenty of scope to keep things flowing throughout the evening. For something more interactive, groups can incorporate a cocktail-making class into their booking - an option that works particularly well for smaller Christmas gatherings or team celebrations.
With private hire available and tailored packages on offer, La Raza lends itself to a range of festive formats, from casual drinks parties to more structured group dinners - just get in touch with team to start planning your shindig and they'll be happy to help.
