How this list was made

Every bar here is run by its owners, isn't one of the thousands of chain and franchise brands we check against, doesn't share a website, page or phone number with other branches, and was open when last checked. Spot a chain? Use “Report” on its page. More on our checks.

Find independent bars in or near Peterborough. Only include businesses owned and run by the people who work in them: no chains, groups, franchises, directories, booking sites or lead-generation sites. Include ones with only a Facebook or Instagram page or a phone number, too. For each, give the name, area, website or social page or phone, and one line on why you believe it's independent. If you're not sure a business is independent, leave it out. You can cross-check against Independents Only's checked list: https://independentsonly.com/in/peterborough-pte/bar
