The Globe, Leicester

A nice multi roomed traditional. The history of it being Leicester's oldest pub is detailed on external signs. inside, there is a central bar, with rooms hanging over it all around. Comfortable enough. As usual, Everards Tiger looked fantastic but didnt exactly set the pulse racing.

The Globe has a mix of tiled and wooden flooring throughout and a central island bar that is encircled by small seating and standing areas. All of the tables were being used during a recent midweek evening visit, some by drinkers and some by diners. I didn’t spot any televisions, but there was some low inoffensive background music playing. There are seven hand pumps around one side of the pub and four around the other. This is an Everards pub so Tighthead, Golden Hop, Tiger and Old Original were available alongside Brunswick Brewery’s Old Accidental and Weston’s Old Rosie cider. On the keg front there is a selection of premium and craft alongside Carling. The service was polite and the pub was interesting so well worth a look.

Almost corridor bar with adjoining space including a snug with snob screens. Tiled floor, old building. Nice features, nice pub

Nice, large, multi-sectioned, original pub with mix of dark wood, red brick, & stone-slabbed floors, equal cross-mix of clientele. Snug to right of entrance, narrow area to the front/left of large central bar, note the round stained glass lead-light window depicting ‘victory' between the right and rear bar sections. Everards Tiger, Beacon, Sunchaser, Janet's Gaffers Gold, Burton Bridge Sovereign, Fullers Chiswick(?). Rather irritating that they felt the need to suggest it ‘illegal' for us to have marker coins on the table for our friendly game of b'strd brag, even if they did give us a box of matches to replace.

Fine old Everards pub with a variety of rooms around a central bar. Good selection of beers and ciders from a total of 10 handpumps, including Malty Tasker (£1.50, half). Only had time for a flying visit, but will certainly be back.

Well described below by my fellow PuG crawlers, so I won't bother. My pint of Malty Tasker was in good nick and the locals were friendly and chatty. As it was just after the budget when George Osborne knocked 1p off a pint there was a large jar on the bar full of 1p coins that said "A present from George Osborne, please take one", very amusing. It's a very good pub.
