The Globe Inn, Weymouth

A locals corner pub with a small L shaped room and beyond that a pool room. A total of six handles on the bar and beers on were Sharps Sea Fury, Butcombe Original, Dartmoor Jail Ale, St Austell Proper Job and Tiny Rebel Lemonade Stand. The Tiny Rebel beer wasn't the greatest of the day but that's more down to indifferent beer rather than down to how it was kept.

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.
