user reviews of the Globe, Luton

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

I recently visited The Globe in Luton, and I can honestly say I was highly disappointed. While it seems to have garnered some positive reviews, my experience was the complete opposite.

First off, let’s talk about the garden – or should I say, the rat haven. I was horrified to see rodents scurrying around under the decking and even at the edges of the seating area. It’s not exactly the ambiance one hopes for when enjoying a drink outdoors. Instead of a cozy beer garden, it felt more like a scene out of a low-budget horror film.

As for the food, calling it basic is an understatement. I ordered a meal that was not only overpriced but also bland and uninspired. I’ve had much better pub grub for half the price elsewhere. The Sunday roast that others praised must have been a different dish entirely when I received mine, as it was tough, overcooked, and lacked flavor.

The selection of ales was also underwhelming. Yes, they have some options, but none of them stood out as particularly good. I found the whole experience to be rather mediocre in terms of taste, which was disheartening given the hype.

To make matters worse, the service was lackluster. While some staff members were polite, others seemed disinterested in providing a good experience. I didn’t feel welcomed or valued as a customer.

In conclusion, I definitely wouldn’t recommend The Globe if you’re looking for a pleasant outing. With rats in the garden and overpriced, subpar food, you’d be better off somewhere else. Save your time and money and steer clear of this pub.

Pretty unremarkable street corner 'old blokes pub'. The beer (Vale's Grumpling Ale - named after the Perisher's character ?) was okay but nothing exceptional. Football on the telly (without sound), okay for a swift pint, not really somewhere for a night out.

Been in here once with work to play darts and it's a nice little traditional pub. Had a toasted sandwich which was nice and everyone elses food looked nice and it was cheap!

A cosy little pub, off the beaten track but well worth a visit.

A warm welcome all the time. Wonderful Deuchars IPA and it has its own festival twice a year. Good for watching the football scores come in on a Saturday afternoon.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Family friendly, but still a traditional local. Serves cracking good Deuchars IPA all the time. Great cheap food in the afternoons. Best pub in Luton.

A cosy, low-ceilinged local with featuring an L-shaped bar. Wood pannelling to the bar and around the fireplace create an intimate and welcoming interior. Perimeter seating with royal red cushioned upholstery. Batemans Dark Mild, Greene King IPA and Young's Special on handpump. Very friendly locals all drinking ale - a good sign. Pub features a dart board, a gaming machine and two tv sets which were quite loud but conversation was still possible. A good pub all in all.
