The Globe Inn, Weymouth

Small interior and very busy due to its location near the harbour, traditional with a scooter appreciation, games room to side

This is an attractive looking street corner pub with a warm and friendly ambience. Situated a couple of lanes back from the harbourside and the sea front in the other direction, the atmosphere is radically different from many of the more tourist and food centred bars found there. Our evening visit found a busy chatty pub with nearly all seats taken and drinkers also congregating around the bar. The main room with the squint ended bar on the rear wall has various items of mixed décor on show, much with a maritime theme including ship's knots in a glass case framed by a life buoy, pub mirrors and even a framed Weymouth F.C. shirt. The firemans' axe had a write up below which I couldn't make out so I'm unsure of any significance. The TV was off with music playing linked to a TV channel but not at a volume detrimental to conversation. Another linked side room has a pool table and framed pictures of race horses. A high shelf contains a library of reference books. The pumps had St Austell Proper Job, Tribute, Doom Bar and Dartmoor Jail Ale plus a box behind the bar contained a cider from Cheddar Valley. Two handpumps remained unclipped. There were also good selections of whiskies and gins. I liked it here and would probably have the place very high on a list for revisits if in town again.

Very much a locals pub just a few minutes walk from the quay. Really good selection of real ales and staff very friendly, I always pop in here when in Weymouth always very busy.

Best pub and best ale quality on a crawl around the town,this GBG regular should not be missed.The interior is well described below,it's a tradtional boozer with a collection of old boys pertched on stools around the bar,chatty and friendly on a Thursday lunchtime visit. The six handpumps were drawing Cerne Abbas Blonde (in perfect nick),St Austell Cornish Best Bitter and Proper Job,Doom Bar and Dartmoor Jail Ale with one pump unclipped.I could have settled in for a much longer session,which would be the aim the next time I'm in town.

I think that the Globe is split into two rooms, but I only visited the main bar area in the right hand side. A standard draught selection was available and I counted six hand pumps. One of these was unused leaving Brains Rev James, Sharps Doom Bar, Ringwood’s Old Thumper, Dartmoor Brewery’s Jail Ale and Hopback’s Crop Circle as the ale options. At the right hand end of the bar is a dartboard and a small plasma screen was showing muted Olympic coverage. There is a nautical theme that runs throughout and a pool table is advertised, which I suppose must be located in the left hand side of the pub. I found the service to be friendly and a good atmosphere was generated by the other clientele. Before I left on the recent Thursday evening I visited the pub started to really fill up with an older crowd. This is certainly one of the better pubs of the area and I would make a point of revisiting if I found myself in the area again.
