The Globe

Great Atmosphere and fantastic staff.
Food’s not bad either ;-)

Cosy pub, very friendly service, free weekly film night, free WLAN. Worth a visit

If there’s one thing you want in an unfamiliar city, it’s a pub that instantly feels like home. The kind you’d be thinking about whimsically when tapping your sparkly red shoes together, hopin’ for some Good Witch magic. When I entered the Globe to meet my bro, I was especially happy. Here was one cosy, homely little snug.
I like the name first off because I’m a Shakespeare nut. But let’s think for a moment, what exactly is a globe? It’s a world in miniature, a microcosm if you will, and aptly, this pub is somewhere that has universal appeal. As a result you’ll find all walks of life in here, from work suits to artists, blue collars to writers.
I’m pleased to see all the Unilocal love for my first Brighton pub experience. I suppose I’ll always look at it with rose-​tinted glasses — it was the day I got my nose pierced, the day I left my office job, the day I discovered Unilocal,the evening I dined al fresco in October (thank you, weird and wonderful Brighton weather), the evening the BF wowed the crowd with his kerazee guitar skills and all in all my Brighton debut. As soon as I had a pear cider in my hand, sibling and friends by my side, I thought, I really could live here. And the Globe’s exactly the kind of pub I’d happily have as my local.

Like the nearby Hop Poles, The Globe is a great pub to go when you want to carry on socialising after going to a show at the nearby Brighton Centre or one of the music venues on the sea-​front. The only minor problem is, it gets so busy you might have to share a seat or wait ten minutes until someone leaves. Luckily, the atmosphere is usually so good I don’t mind. Downstairs there’s comfy leather arm chairs and sofas whilst upstairs is a mix of sofas and wooden tables and chairs.
I’ve never been on a Sunday but I believe the Sunday Roast here is pretty tasty and there’s a good choice of different meat and veggie dishes to choose from. The bar also stocks a great range of spirits, bottled beers and ales — which makes it a great place to pop in for a Guiness after a long, windy walk on the sea-​front.
