A great little pub selling a very nice pint of Cains Bitter, Cains Mild and a guest ale.
Sixties music played at a level so as not to stifle conversation, very friendly staff and clientelle. My first pint in The Globe was in 1973. It was a good pub then, and it's still a good pub now. It's supposed to be an 'old man's pub', but my lad is 19 and really enjoys visiting The Globe.

After reading previous reviews I went a couple of weeks ago. It was about 5pm on a Thurday or Friday and was crowded. Can't remember what I got to drink but managed to squeeze into a seat at the front of the pub where the kareoke was set up. couldn't hear myself think so didn't stay for long. Not my sort of pub!

A real gem - and a rarity these days - a traditional city centre boozer. Great place, friendly welcome, very efficient service and ale in tip-top condition - what more could you ask?

What an incredibly unique place! Tiny pub nestled next door to Clayton Square shopping centre & one you would almost certainly walk past without noticing. Very small with 2 rooms & a weird sloping floor it doesn't need many people to pack this venue. Very friendly staff & clients I doubt anyone could fail to have a good time. There can't be many of these types of pubs still in existence.

Small traditional pub in the heart of the City Centre situated close to the entrance to the Clayton Street shopping mall.

There is one small bar at the front which leads to a quieter room at the back.

There is much wood-pannelling and stained glass to admire. However, the main distinctive feature is the sloping floor which slopes down quite noticeably to the back of the front bar from the bar area at the front - indeed the pub advertises itself outside as " the pub with the famous sloping floor"

Note the globe high up on the facade of the building, indicating that the pub dates back to 1888.

It's badged as a Robert Cain's & Co's house, but serves guest beers also - on my recent visit, these included Deuchars IPA and Black Sheep.

Well worth seeking out, but be aware that this is one of the smaller pubs in Liverpool and that you'll probably have to stand.

Nice little basic pub usually has a few well kept real ales. Standing room near the doors, long bar on one side with seating opposite and at the far end then on further into a little room at the back. Nice enough decor with some original ceiling features and articles and pictures about old Liverpool sites and people.

One of Liverpool's little gems, this place. Beer is always well-kept. The place is very old-fashioned, in a way that seems to be just left over from the first time round, rather than re-done to look old, if you know what I mean, but I don't see that as a problem. The only problem I have with it is that it is pretty small and snug so if there are more than half a dozen of you you struggle to be able to sit or stand in a group.

Great little boozer with friendly folks and a cracking pint.

I visited this pub last tuesday evening and what a real pub it is.
I had a pint of Black sheep bitter and something else,very well kept and a good price at 2 pound.
If your looking for characters and good beer this is the place to be.
The locals are freindly and they might but you a pint if your out of town.
The only problem is the sloping floor.
Liverpool is a friendlier city than Birmingham.
Birmingham pubs can be paranoid man

Not to be missed. Unbuggered-about with.

This is a fantastic little pub, tho' the slope does throw you when you have had a few. Great choice of guests, and the country and western music is fine too.

Brilliant pub! Best barmaid in Liverpool. Hubby and I call in on Sundays when we go for lunch and the barmaid always remembers what we drink even if we havent been in for a few weeks. By the way we call it the "deep end" cos the bar reches your chest as you walk in but towards the back of the bar it reaches your waist, bit like walking in a swimming pool! Beers good too

This is a very good little pub indeed. It seems to get very busy, but staff always cope. Well kept beer. And yes, the floor does slope!

Its a classic Liverpool pub, small, traditional and welcoming to both locals and visitors.
Good range of real ales ( including Cains )
Beware the sloping floor, which can lead you to think you're much the worse for wear than is actually the case !
