We stumble upon his drugstore, looking for a liquor store. Customer service was fantastic. We found exactly what we're looking for and a few things like the best soda, St. Louis, staple and globe candy kitchen pecan turtles. read more

It was only $20 But it in this economy every done is needed. I left the store with no money and nothing i intended to buy . The place is a joke use cash if you have to buy there. I'll never go there again!!! Customer service is horrible . read more

Oh my gosh, recently visited this place for the first time and was not disappointed. It's a total dive with worn floors/counters and doesn't have a pharmacy, but it's got eeeeeeverything else you could want or need. Need some expired chips for 69 cents? Check. Need some fudge or non pareils? Check. Need a beach towel? Lantern? Booze? Canned soup? Tools? Rugs? Check, check, and check. This is a dumpy little store with everything you could want for cheap. It's crowded, disorganized, and so fun to wander through and explore. My mom tells me stories of when she was a little girl in the 60's and going to Globe when it was still on Cherokee. Judging by her stories, not much has changed. Highly recommend visiting and exploring all their stuff and discovering the hidden gems. Plus you can get snacks on the cheap here (do Doritos really expire, though?). read more

As a Soulard resident, there's a special place in my heart for Globe Drug. Is it the squeaky clean corporate convenience stores that are on every street corner in the USA? Surely not. Does it have so many random items that you're bound to find what you're looking for and more. Yup. It took me almost two years in Soulard to venture into Globe Drug. It's on the east side of 7th, and I rarely have reason to go over that way, and honestly didn't know what to expect. I had heard through the grapevine that they offered a lot of really unique and cheap Mardi Gras decorations and figured that my time had come to visit this Soulard staple. Entering into this very vintagey looking store, you get the vibe that not much has changed since the 50's. From the sign outside to the floors to the shelves of products that create a maze through the store, it all feels from a totally different era. And I was seriously shocked by the selection. Things I would not have expected lined the shelves. They had everything from drinkware and tiki torch fuel to greeting cards and cake mix. I honestly didn't know that they also offer a huge selection of alcohol! That was the biggest find of my trip. If I'm ever in a pinch and need to pick up a bottle of this or case of that, Globe Drug might just be the place in Soulard to stop. read more

Globe Drug (I'm pretty certain the "drug" part ended in the late 90s or early 2000s), is one of my favorite things about St. Louis. In fact, it's now my only favorite thing about Saint Louis (a place I used to love deeply, but I fled from the St. Louis corpse for good last year). This place is a cornicopia of everything you can imagine: candy, clothing (including an odd selection of random uniforms on a regular basis), alcohol, tobacco, food and cooking supplies - I doubt their is a category they don't at least _touch,_ even if it's slight and indirect. The place may be small, but shopping there can last hours - it's like a magical candy store for the crazyest of shoppers! Go. Try it. You eill NOT be disappointed! read more

Can find items cheaper than the big box store wish I could go now items from tv sold here also

Very nice store love going there love going around Christmas time to find different ornaments for my tree and other household needs

I love this store but its not for everyone. Brian was correct in his review when he described it as similar to Big Lots. The selection of products here is pretty random but they always have a really nice selection of microbrews and wines as well as chocolates that they make on site. They have really great chocolate covered strawberries around valentines day. Prices are always super low here. Globe has been around for many decades and there used to be a store located downtown and a couple locations on Cherokee street. This is the only location left. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I always see the same people working every time I go. This is a great place to stop by after Soulard Market or after a visit to Johns Donuts. read more

Globe Drug - Drugstores Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I could spend a whole day in Globe Drug. Entered on a whim, my wife and I discovered Globe Drug after doing some business at the U.S. Post Office. I had seen it once or twice and had little desire to check it out. I don't know why, but that side of Broadway always keeps me looking over my shoulder. The vagrants seem to gravitate to the area. My wife insisted that we go inside, and I'm glad that she did. This place has a boatload of crap! If you're looking for odd finds or just want to take a walk down Memory Lane, Globe Drug is a good place to do these things. I found a box of 1991 Fleer Baseball Cards unopened! Why? I have no idea. Needless to say, I bought a couple of packs. They have weird discounts on random items. We found an Abita summer beer for $3.98, normally $7.99 at the corner store. Chocolate cream filled Twinkees? They've got them for $1.49! They must get overstock from other places at a fraction of the cost. There's a whole section of day old Hostess snacks for ridiculously cheap! Globe Drug is not the place to do your grocery shopping. However, their prices are pretty much on par with Vincent's or even Schnucks, but finding something specific could be difficult. The soul purpose to me is finding those bizarre odds and ends that I can't find anywhere else. read more

Globe Drug - Drugstores Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

SO much fun!! This place is amazing -- like the old Spicers, where you can find odd-sized drain plugs and random items that you can't find anywhere else! It's a drug store, but in a neighborhood where things might disappear off the shelves, so you have to ask a clerk to get the OTC medicines for you. Otherwise, it's a giant jumble of fun -- everything from deeply discounted holiday candy (on time for every major holiday), homemade chocolates and locally-roasted coffee (they do this onsite) to cleaning staples. I don't buy PineSol or toilet bowl cleaner anywhere else, because you can't beat Globe's prices and you can toss as many impulse buys in your cart as you want, and STILL get away for less money than you would have at any other store. The people who work at Globe are all nice, and even though there usually is only one register going, you can check out quickly. Tons of cheesy crap to look at, along with everything you need for your household, and did I mention that they sell beer, wine, and liquor? Same stuff you can get at Walgreens or Shop & Save (but not at a higher end grocery) for a third of the price. Well worth the drive to Soulard to check this place out. You'll have fun and save a lot of money on stuff you had to buy anyway! read more

Okay, So before Christmas this year we knew we needed some more wrapping paper and a few other things for said gifts and knew we had to make the trek down to Globe again, like we normally do. I guess this would be the mistake that we didn't know about. Apparently they have (I don't know if it's just this year, or they aren't dealing with it much anymore???) stopped selling as much wrapping paper or much of the holiday goods. We walked in to get all of our goods and found many a few boxes of wrapping paper, unlike the last few years where they would have aisles full. It was rather disappointing because this is why we come here. Ah, well ce la vie! read more

The management and staff are great. Wonderful and eclectic selection of necessary quality household items. Great prices with close out deals. This store is a must if you live in the area, you will most assuredly be pleasantly surprised from the front to the back. The seasonal items are a steal. Kudos to the owner for supplying me ten plus years of shopping joy. You can't beat a visit to Globe. If you are a bargain shopper don't go to Soulard market and miss the community gem. It's right around the corner! read more

I love this place. It's like a Dollar Tree on crack. You never know what you are going to find. Great deals. I come here for household needs, cleaning supplies, pet needs, candy, snacks and seasonal decor to name a few. A great stop before or after Soulard Market. They have promotional displays for sale, usually promoting alcohol. The staff is super nice and helpful. Gets a little crowded at times. read more

I love globe drug! I've always mainly gone there for their cheap alcohol; they sell beer that has surpassed the "best by" date, as well as wine and liquor. The beers have never tasted funny, though. It is always fun looking at the other random stuff, but I usually just walk out with booze. It is the best! read more

What a St.Louis treasure to be sure!!! I only heard about it on Christmas Eve when my cousin got us all the surprise boxes!!! It totally made out Christmas Eve!!!! Inside of these boxes were the most random delicious crap ever!!! My totally conservative banker cousin got a sign that read amateur gynecologist and a jock strap as well as a lot of other crazy fun stuff!!! My dad got a totally useful Hanna Montana wall mural!!! I got a jar of pickle erasers!!! Everyone got all this crazy random fun hysterical stuff!!! AWESOME!!! So!!!! I went today to check out this place!! And it is just an old school wonderful variety store!!! Each aisle has something you never wanted but buy anyway!!! Best of all are the employees!!! So super friendly!!! Kind! Kind! Kind!!! I thought I stepped back through time when a lady's atm card wasn't working and they said come back and pay when you can, they knew her, but still!!! Where/when does that even happen anymore! Such a joy to find!! In a homogenized Kardashian world I love that places like this still exist!!! Take a first date, go on a rainy day or if you need a chippy snack or maybe you may need a pair of duck dynasty slippers...this is a great place for all of that!!! read more

Globe Drug is quite possibly of the most misunderstood, hidden gems of Soulard. It really isn't a drug store, but a discount/closeout store. Think of a locally owned Big Lots, however you never know what you are going to find here, they typically have some standard food items, with a limited refrigerated section for items like cheese and other items. You an always find some seasonal items, greeting cards, wine, cooking products, and chocolate. The one thing that few people know is that Globe makes their own Chocolate downstairs in this location, its very good and a very reasonable price. Some of the chocolate they offer is turtles, chocolate covered nuts, heavenly hash, and a wide variety of other chocolates, the best part is that if you are planning on cooking with chocolate you can but a large block for much less than you could at Wal-Mart, and its much better. Give Globe a try, but don't go in expecting this to be a Walgreens. read more

I love this place. You can buy almost anything here and everything is super cheap. Truly a hidden gem in St Louis and I hope it's around for another 100 years. read more

In a desperate, cold-induced act to find cough suppressant, I googled "drug store" and Globe Drug popped up. When I walked inside, I was a little confused because the first thing I spotted was alcohol but, lo, and behold, against the back wall, they have lots of medicine. Beware, however, that a clerk needs to get the medicine for you, write up a slip, and deposit the medicine at the cash register for your check-out. As a side note, I decided to try Father John's cough suppressant which the store clerk told me people drive far distances to purchase. He didn't steer me wrong -- the stuff works wonders! While I was at it, I bought a Christmas stocking and wrapping paper for $0.98 each. I avoided the sundry other odd items but I'll be back when I need stocking stuffers or other random items. I like the low shelves that allow you to see across the store from the entrance though the aisles themselves are a bit tight to navigate. read more

I honestly don't want to review this place in hopes that no one else discovers this place. My brother and I went to this place while waiting for haircuts at another hidden gem soulard barber shop. So my brother a fellow elite goes on yelp to find out what is around given the wait. So we take a number and hop across the street to globe drug. It isn't a drug store as much as a discount special store. They have $2.98 six packs of good beer. They also make their own chocolate. Great gem. I am going to bring my mom so she can stock stockings for xmas. read more

Love this place. I love that you can get old liquor and wine displays for about an average of $15.00. Some are super nice and sturdy. Also lots of other fun random stuff. read more

I love Globe Drugs! It has been in the family for so long and I love going there and eating all the chocolate from the little factory downstairs! I also love helping pack the surprise packages that are so popular these past couple years! I hope you can enjoy the store as much as my family and I do read more

amazing quality chocolate! very friendly workers!!! good prices! definitely a must go to when I need something!!
