Stopped in on our Globe adventure to start it off. Great Bloody Mary's. Awesome Bartender Kayleigh. Lots of history. Great bar. We didn't eat but boy those drinks were great. The bar is old. Has murals and cool stuff inside. Definitely stop and wet your whistle here.

Friendly little dive bar with great prices. We wandered in and were greeted by everyone in the bar. Enjoyed all the "scenery" on the walls and above the bar! Worth a stop for a drink!

We stopped here on our way to see Globe and never went anywhere else! We were visiting Globe for the weekend to do some work. We stopped here Saturday night. Our bartender told us the story about Drift Inn. Im not gonna give any spoilers, but there's a murder and even ghosts involved! They have a full bar, and yes, their wings are amazing!! They take a little longer to make, but the wait is worth it! We had the garlic parm and the dry rub. We met quite a few super nice people, and it felt like we had grown up there. Will go back AND bring my friends as well!

Garlic Parmesan (cooked on the flat grill) and then tossed in Buffalo sauce, with carrots.

If you have to eat after 8PM, this Saloon is a very good option. This bar seems like it could have been an establishment during the days of Wyatt Earp. There's a quaint patio out front, where horses could probably wait for their patron. Half of the wall is a long bar and across from it were two pool tables. Tuesday night seemed to be pool league night. We had the zucchini and mushroom basket, which came out really hot and we didn't leave a crumb! The BLT was definitely a safe bet. And the burger was, too. The wings were flavorful and made to order, no fuss! But they were smaller than what we are used to in the Phoenix area. I wish I ordered the full order instead of the half. Our service with Oscar was great! He had our drinks filled throughout our visit and carried a friendly, teasing and fun demeanor. I definitely won't mind hanging out there again when I am in Globe.

Old ""Cat House" , now a cool Bar!

Opened in 1902 but new owners bought this landmark just 2 years ago. The "new" owners make us feel valued & welcome as we always have felt here & not much has changed from the menu to the ambiance. Which is remarkable and reassuring. The ancient wooden walk-in cooler still functions & holds pride of place near the front door. Tin ceiling tiles and a ridiculously high ceiling it's easy to picture saloon girls "advertising" from the second story windows. The "upstairs rooms" were torn down long ago , there is no longer a second floor , but the nude oil paintings still pay tribute to the "Soiled Doves" that once worked the "cribs "above the bar floor. That is history tho , Flash forward 100 years .., the bar food here is way above average .More of a full menu restaurant and a good one at that . Personal favorites include the Really meaty & large chicken wings. They have about 8 flavors but their dry rub is unique! Great burgers, including a huge variety of fresh toppings ...served on a buttered grilled bun . The " jalapeño bottle caps"remain a local favorite & house specialty. The Drift has a full bar and wide and modern beer selection. Basically a classic saloon that's keeping up with the Gastro-Pub scene! A real treasure .

Stopped by at the watering hole in operation since 1902...its cool! Had us a quick drink and hit the road again. Didn't try the food and if you have a sensitive bowel...I don't recommend the restrooms...then again it's a bar

The Drift Inn has some history, cold beer and decent food. The Rabogliatti Family sailed from Italy and settled in Globe, AZ shortly after the turn of the 20th century. They began to live the American dream by constructing a 6000 square foot building which was an outstanding structure on Broad Street. The building was divided into three separate businesses. The Club House Café, the notorious International Saloon, and the Western Cash. It was the "International Rooms" that was a prosperous brothel. After the famous gun fight in Tombstone, AZ at the O.K. Corral, October 26, 1881, the Earp's packed up and moved on to California. The Gal that loved Lawman Doc Holliday and everyone else, Big Nose Kate moved to Globe Arizona and opened a boarding house for miners in the International Rooms. Mattie Earp worked with Kate for a short time at the Globe bawdy house. They say the upstairs of the building is quite active with ghosts. Both men and "the ladies" have been seen up there in the back hallway. A cowboy spectre roams in silence as if searching for someone. The legend says a jealous early day cowboy came looking for his girl upstairs in one of the rooms of the International where he maliciously shot and killed her.

They have since added one more stall to the ladies room since my previous post, which is a big help.

Copper Bistro - Hot Mess Burger with fries

The menu is quite varied, and there is something for everyone…read more The food is first rate, with possibly the best burgers in AZ! The service is alway fast and friendly and they will happily guide through your selection and answer all your questions. The portions are huge! The restaurant is very clean and comfortable. So far I've had the Bistro Burger a couple times, the Curly Joe, onion rings, okra, cole slaw, the chips and pulled pork and the brisket nachos. Andrea has has the hangover burger and the midstate burger with cottage cheese and shared in the chips and nachos. She also stole huge bites of my burgers and several of my onion rings! Everything has been awesome! So awesome, int fact, we stopped on the way uo north to Alpine from Gilbert, and decided to stop in again the following day in the way home! The Copper Bistro great excuse to get out of the valley for the Phoenicians!

We trekked to Globe, AZ to view Besh Ba Gowah…read more We also planned to set out at such a time so that we might try a local eatery. Our choices were Copper Bistro and Nurd Burger Cafe and for no particular reason we decided on Coper Bistro. We were surprised and richly rewarded by their cheese burger, fries and onion rings. I may have made mention in other reviews that a burger patty must protrude beyond the bun in order to attract my attention. This patty protruded well beyond the brioche bun and, better yet, it was hand crafted, not pulled out of a box of 300 other patties that were shaped exactly the same. And the beef was flavorful. We both enjoyed the fries and onion rings. Our meal was so filling we didn't eat dinner that night. Oh, the staff are super friendly, attentive and downright welcoming. If you find yourself in Globe, you could do a lot worse that supping at Copper Bistro.
