In search of a pint in Cowes, I was tempted by The Globe's roof terrace with its views over the Solent, as well as the choice at the bar of Purity Ubu or St Austell Tribute. The former at £6 a pint indicated to me that this one's probably aimed less at the locals and more at the tourist, perhaps including those parked up at the nearby marina.
It's nautically themed inside, as you might expect, with a reasonably priced menu on offer.
The beer was fine and, on balance, I'd say that the view was worth the mark-up.

On the seafront overlooking the Solent, this pub is hidden away off the main drag through Cowes. There is a large room spread around a central bar on the ground floor, with a more formal restaurant upstairs.
I was hoping for better on the ale front. They had just St Austell Proper Job & Greene King Coronation Ale. However, we decided to eat in the bar area and my Fillet Steak presented still cooking on a hot stone with side portions of chips and salad was very enjoyable.
The pub was quite busy when we arrived, but had pretty much emptied out by the time we left and just as a live music act was setting up. Having said that, a group of lads asking for Space Raider crisps had just walked in before our exit. So, perhaps they were the target clientele for the singer.

Graham Coombs left this review about The Globe
An unsurprisingly boat-themed pub in a key location on The Parade waterfront, which appears to have had a refurb as it is certainly no longer a sports bar. There are stills rows of tables outside to enjoy the harbour views from, but inside is fairly plain and smart wood throughout, with a smattering of nautical junk. It also opens for breakfast and there is a posher restaurant upstairs in the evenings as well as a rooftop terrace. Ales on were Yates Seadog and Proper Job.
