The Panton Arms is a pub in Cambridge, U.K. that is often frequented by scientists from the Engineering and Chemistry Department of the University of Cambridge. It became more widely known in February 2010 when a group of scientists released the Panton Principles - a set of recommendations on how to license and label scientific data that have been made public - that they had drafted in the Panton Arms starting in June 2009.
The pub features a "white gingerbread building festooned with hanging baskets of petunias and nestled among rows of Victorian terraced houses" with black wrought iron gates.[1] The atmosphere, service and the food at the pub have generated mixed reviews from online reviewers.[2] It serves beer and there is adequate parking nearby. One reviewer described how it seemed "hidden in a residential area".[3] It is the remaining corner and former tap room of a larger site, originally occupied by a brewery.[1]
