| went here the week before last to have a pre-dinner beer with some mates. Ordered a pint of Doom Bar, which was totally rancid. I returned it to the barmaid who smelt it and said, and I quote, 'I don't know, they all taste like s**t to me''. Hardly the best advert for your pub is it, but the younger barman changed it right away for a more than decent pint of Bombardier I think. Being from north of the river, all pubs down that way seem a bit odd to me...but I guess it was OK. For a beer after work it's fine. mally_drinker - 19 Sep 2011 14:35 |
| I haven't used this site for over a year, but I went to The Globe last night and loved it so much I felt the need to get back on and review it. The Globe's always been a great pub in terms of decor, but sometime recently it's had a makeover, and all for the better. Still the same look and feel, but cleaner and roomier thanks to some furniture removal. They had three ales (Deuchers, Adnam's, and Bombadier), which while they'll never set the weirdy beardies' hearts racing, will certainly do enough to tide them over for a bit. The highlight of the evening was definitely the DJ though. You don't expect to find a DJ in a pub this small, and certainly not on a Wednesday night, but this guy was playing the best set list I've heard in a long, long time. Nothing but soul, funk, motown, and rare grooves. I ended up staying far too long for a work night, simply because of the music and atmosphere of the place. Judging by the boards around the pub they're trying to make this a music-lovers pub with different themes for different nights, but I think I'll be heading back regularly on Wednesdays. topdog_andy - 16 Jun 2011 22:12 |
| Used to be a regular between 2006 and 2008. Popped back for the first time recently and it has undergone something of a downsize. Lots of the furniture taken out (including the lovely old red sofa!), juke box gone and also it seemed darker. Though many would find this a bad thing I actually thought it has improved. The old landlady has gone (thank goodness) and the new staff are making a real go of it with some live music nights. Worth a visit. makavelli - 20 May 2011 14:15 |
| Ok, it's not the most brightly decorted pub. Ok, it's in the middle of a building site at the moment. Ok, it doesn't have many real ales. However, it's still a decent little pub, and should not be ignored if you are in the area. The guys that run the pub nowdays make a real effort and although it can get really busy in the evening, there are normally enough staff around to get served relatively quickly. Music is on a couple of nights a week, and there can be a real buzz about the place. Certainly beats some of the posher wine bars and touristy pubs in the area (in my opinion anyway). andy1309 - 10 Nov 2010 15:57 |
| The infamous landlady referred to in a couple of posts has now been sacked. Apart from that though, not much has changed - mediocre ale, sticky carpet, quite dingy. And it's not going to get any better in the forseeable future - they're currently extended the tracks into London Bridge, and the new viaduct goes within 6 feet of the pub. It's incredible that they've managed to keep it open while the work goes on really. Anyway, I doubt that it'll have a re-vamp or any money spent on it until the railway work is completed. Shame - as someone else noted, it's an old boozer with a lot of potential. But it does retain some charm, despite all of that. BatterseaBomber - 28 Oct 2010 16:25 |
