The Globe Inn (Burns Howff), Dumfries

An ancient pub with Burns associations, looks old outside but inside is one of the better class of establishments in Dumfries, no neds. The best part for old codgers like myself is the small snug by the entrance, the lounge bar is nice enough but more like a dining room. It is all matchboard walls in dark varnish with stained glass to one side and pictures on the other. A short counter is home to a horseshoe of standard kegs and three hand pulls of unusual design, there is also a large (200 odd) range of malts. The staff wear black trews and shirts topped off with a tartan waistcoat and the service is good but restaurant style.
