Strongers . left this review about The Globe

The Globe was closed when I tried to visit early on a Monday evening in February, but I was happy to find it open at around the same time on bank holiday Monday just gone. This is certainly a small pub with banquettes on carpet across the front window and up the left-hand wall to around the rear. A partition screen, with a stained glass insert, is found three quarters of the way up the left hand banquettes creating front and rear seating. The serving counter on the right-hand wall has a tile floored surround and there’s more stained glass around the top of the bar. Standard keg was available alongside Madri and Cruzcampo and four of the five hand pumps were in use drawing Brain’s Rev James, TT Landlord and Boltmaker and Wainwright. The Rev James, served by the friendly landlady, was on good form.
In the rear, on the way to the gents, is a small wooden floored seating area with some tables and a short banquette up the left. A map of Liverpool patterned wallpaper covers the right-hand wall and there’s a small coal fire that was primed for lighting on the rear wall. This is a proper old boozer with an older clientele from at least the 1960s where the background music was from. Worth a look.

My tweet about "never judging a book by its cover" was retweeted by Roger Protz who commented that Liverpool CAMRA first met there 50 years ago next year.

I went viral :-)

What a gem - externally, it looks like you should be walking on by, but inside, its a proper pub that you instantly feel at home in. Small front room around a horseshoe bar. A 2nd, almost secluded back room. Full of puppy trinkets and art work.

TT Boltmaker in fine condition - the pumps for this and landlord emblazoned with the brewery "champion cellar" accreditation.

GBG2023.

Handily located for Liverpool Central station and all of the main shopping streets, this is a small and narrow locals' boozer tucked away off the main drag, but easily found if you're heading to Clayton Square shopping centre.

It's probably been almost 10 years since I was last in here. The ale range is not too inspiring these days and it has dropped out of the Good Beer Guide, despite being the birthplace of Merseyside's CAMRA organisation. Sharp's Doom Bar, Timothy Taylor Landlord & Thwaites Wainwright are the ales. The guest beer yesterday was Coach House Cheshire Oak.

There is a small room and some equally small toilets at the rear, with a deceptive, sloping floor in between. The pub attracts all walks of life, including locals and stag parties (one had just arrived as we were getting ready to depart).
