The Globe, Leicester

First visit to the Globe and I also liked this one and will certainly revisit when back in Leicester. Several different spaces arranged around the central serving area, and although the area to the left of the bar as you enter is a bit tight and more aligned to vertical drinking, the rooms to the right and to the back are more spacious and comfortable. Good well-kept range of Everards Ales and guests available and there was no evidence of the supposed spirit of the young boy in the cellar having pissed in the barrels during our visit. Everards Original, Tiger , Beacon and Sunchaser were complemented by Bath Ales Golden Hare and Burton Bridge Rabble Rouser and the couple I tried were in fine nick. There is also now a bistro restaurant in the room upstairs but didn’t utilise this. And today's themed anorak fact is that the boy in the cellar is reputedly not the only ghost and there is also a woman on the stairs who allegedly comes from the time when pre pub, the building was used as accommodation for women awaiting impending execution at the hands of the noose man in nearby Gallowtree Gate.

I count myself lucky to have got a good pint of Everards Tiger on our PG visit, as the manager told us about a ghost down the cellar who turns the beer off now and then. I enjoyed this pub and especially liked roaming round from room to room. Defo a must when visiting Leicester.

A very interesting interior to this Everards tied house.You wind round a nesting of rooms as you tour the pub,with many nooks and crannies.There is an island bar which serves several of these sections.The front bar contains the most handpumps,with seven dispensing a wide range of Everards including seasonals and a smattering of guests.My Malty Tasker was on fine form.A rear bar area supports two real ciders on handpull.I will leave a detailed interior description to others,but all I will say is that the refurb has maintained the important elements of the pub while smartening it up.A must visit on any crawl.

The quintessential Everards pub in Leicester. If you like Tiger, you are in the right place. Clean and tidy pub in the city centre with excellent beer. The only down side was the banging music, which added nothing to the experience on a sunny Saturday afternoon. We took our pints outside and sat in the sun where it was much quieter and the views were much better :O)
