The Globe Inn, Weymouth

A couple of lanes behind the quayside and a lot more mellow than the tourist chaos a few yards away. Externally it is a very attractively presented building in a style that I really like. Surprisingly small inside (two room knocked-through via a functional 90 degree opening) and it was difficult to find a spare seat with just a handful of punters in. Someone had had a go at brightening-up the interior though the resultant two-tone blue everywhere didn’t really work. GBG listed, with five cask on over six with no real surprises for this neck of the woods, my Dartmoor Jail was decent if not cellared quite long enough and was served in a pitted glass (NBSS 2.5). Felt like it should be a notch better.

Small interior and very busy due to its location near the harbour, traditional with a scooter appreciation, games room to side

This is an attractive looking street corner pub with a warm and friendly ambience. Situated a couple of lanes back from the harbourside and the sea front in the other direction, the atmosphere is radically different from many of the more tourist and food centred bars found there. Our evening visit found a busy chatty pub with nearly all seats taken and drinkers also congregating around the bar. The main room with the squint ended bar on the rear wall has various items of mixed décor on show, much with a maritime theme including ship's knots in a glass case framed by a life buoy, pub mirrors and even a framed Weymouth F.C. shirt. The firemans' axe had a write up below which I couldn't make out so I'm unsure of any significance. The TV was off with music playing linked to a TV channel but not at a volume detrimental to conversation. Another linked side room has a pool table and framed pictures of race horses. A high shelf contains a library of reference books. The pumps had St Austell Proper Job, Tribute, Doom Bar and Dartmoor Jail Ale plus a box behind the bar contained a cider from Cheddar Valley. Two handpumps remained unclipped. There were also good selections of whiskies and gins. I liked it here and would probably have the place very high on a list for revisits if in town again.

Very much a locals pub just a few minutes walk from the quay. Really good selection of real ales and staff very friendly, I always pop in here when in Weymouth always very busy.

Best pub and best ale quality on a crawl around the town,this GBG regular should not be missed.The interior is well described below,it's a tradtional boozer with a collection of old boys pertched on stools around the bar,chatty and friendly on a Thursday lunchtime visit. The six handpumps were drawing Cerne Abbas Blonde (in perfect nick),St Austell Cornish Best Bitter and Proper Job,Doom Bar and Dartmoor Jail Ale with one pump unclipped.I could have settled in for a much longer session,which would be the aim the next time I'm in town.
