This was Robert Burns' "howff," or, his favorite local pub. In fact, he allegedly scratched verses…read morein the windows with a diamond and had an illegitimate child with the barmaid. Thus, for historical value, I had to check it out, but I only stayed for one drink because I did not find it particularly friendly. I have found that dichotomy across Britain (but not Ireland): pubs in large cities welcome everyone, perhaps because of the cosmopolitan nature of a city; in the small towns, where there are probably fewer tourists and more local regulars, I often get a very icy vibe from both patrons and staff. Too bad. I paid 2 for a Tennett's Velvet, a great price for a quality beer.

My family and I came to the Globe Inn for some after supper drinks. I had never seen the Robbie Burns' paraphenalia in the other parts of the Inn and my uncle asked the bartender if she would show us around. The lady was more than happy to open it up for us and show us the other rooms. I got to take some cool pictures with my family in the backrooms of the Inn. After the unplanned tour we had about 3 more rounds and then headed to another pub. I'm not sure when the other parts of the Inn are open regularly with the Robbie Burns memorabilia, but it was pretty interesting if you're fan of his. Definitely made this place above average.

Weekends There is always some form of entertainment on from quiz nights to karaoke and even for a quiz night love been here and there only being two in the bar but l recon this is more of a sports bar with all the unusual items plastered on the walls and ceilings mainly from golf. Drinks Aren't always the same here they change the selection quite often but I'm not sure if that's a good thing, they used to have west on tap but then discontinued soon after. This has to be one of the better bars in the area you can have a few drinks here and not have any hassle.

The village was created by Danish Vikings as a fishing and trading port and the area developed into a Emigrant port.

There is little left of the pier which once graced the shores but if you listen carefully, you can still hear the smuggler moving their illegal wares!
