Great service, food and drinks all around. The Irish band playing was lovely too. We will be back!

Beer & cocktail menu 8/28/23
Crystal L.

It has a real English pub vibe. Service was decent, although I did feel like checks were a bit rushed and they weren't even busy. We were planning on hanging out for a bit to catch up with friends, but our server offered the check right after we finished dinner so we moved onto another bar. There are some mixed emotions on food by other reviewers but I thought it was great! The pretzels were bite sized and had great texture-- slightly crisp on the outside and pillowy on the inside. I got the Clayton St. Hot Curry sandwich and it was amazing-- a curry fried chicken (or tofu) sandwich with a mint yogurt. Got it with fried okra because I'm a Californian visiting the south. Would come again!

They were slow when I got there.....the dark tavern type atmosphere was exactly what my soul was in need of. Waitress whipped up an incredible margarita (or 2) and I had the best Reuben I have ever had in my life. Don't stop what you are doing Globe. You guys nailed my experience. My waitress was friggin awesome. Wish I could give you more stars. The guy that was cleaning up even got me with (what felt like) an authentic "Right on". There was some power in that. I don't know if it was the margaritas or what but that place feels like it speaks to souls. Get that sammich. You won't regret it.**** **** Disclaimer: No guarantees that the doctor that made my sammich will be working when you getcho sammich.

The Globe is one of the numerous good places in downtown Athens. It can get very busy on a Friday or a Saturday night, but it wasn't when we went on a Sunday night. Mind you, lots of places in Athens are closed on Sunday, which made the Globe a welcome option for dinner and drinks. Food wise, the best label I can give you is gastro pub. We both chose the Guinness battered fish and chips. I have a problematic relationship with fish and chips. Most of the time I order it, I wish I'd ordered something else. I was not disappointed with fish and chips here, though. I ordered the one piece because I was not super hungry. It was very good. The chips likewise were very good. They were the best fries I've had in Athens hands down. It's full bar with an extensive selection of beers and a very good selection of bourbon and other spirits. The service was good. I have no complaints. The decor and atmosphere is much like what you might to expect of an upscale British pub, but that's just my take on it. We enjoyed our meal and our time there. Cheers!

Mellow Gold Chicken Sandwich and hand-cut fries
Stacie B.

Wanted to try out some local downtown Athens restaurants and decided to start with the globe one Friday evening. We came a bit early (around 430) so were there ahead of any Friday evening rush and were seated immediately. We ordered a whiskey sour which was well made. For food I got the Mellow Gold Chicken Sandwich. It was wonderful with nicely fried chicken thigh and a fantastic honey mustard on top. The sandwich came with their hand cut potato wedge style fries which would have been AMAZING had they not been over cooked slightly. That knocked them down a bit but they were still edible and good and I saw the potential for how good they would have been had they been cooked properly. Overall, this was a great experience. The service was solid, food and drink tasty and the vibe inside the restaurant is very nicely laid back and relaxed in a positive way. I would certainly return again.

Bar

The food is not to my taste. In my opinion, it was tasteless and had no special taste. The service was good and upon entering, they welcomed the customer with a glass of water and ice. The atmosphere of the bar and restaurant was great and relaxing and dynamic at the same time. Meanwhile, I left my water bottle and came back tomorrow and they kept it for me. The staff were kind, warm and polite.

Ploughman's plate
Shelly H.

Opening day. Longest wait ever for our $10 Ploughman's plate and $7.50 cold onion rings. When we finally got our entrees, everything was cold. Portions were tiny (just look at the fries - there were like 5 of them). The place wasn't packed by any means. What a bummer. I don't leave many bad reviews and I was really trying to find something positive about the experience but overall the food, service, and price were just disappointing.

The Ruban
Alexander W.

Walking around downtown, we wanted to try a new place and The Globe was a block away. The menu is VERY BASIC, but the drink selections and beers were good. I ordered the Ruban and side salad. My spouse ordered the Diner Burger (basically two sliders dressed up). The burger were well done, almost crispy. The Ruban was very good, a great balance of beef and extras. The price point is high for what you get for food, but the drink pricing is fair. We would return, but hoping for a better menu.

Great burgers but the fries!!!!! The fries are awesome!! The fries came to the table perfectly…read morecooked and fresh. The outside was crisp and the inside was soft. We had the ones with Cajun seasoning which were really good but the garlic fries are seriously over the top. When we return (yes, of course we will return) I think I just want garlic fries. Forget the burger I just want to eat those amazing fries. It's a good burger. Juicy, well cooked. Not overdone. The bread was not my favorite. Why does everyone insist on brioche buns? They don't really work for a cheeseburger. It is still a damned good burger. The only real problem is that it will occupy too much room in my stomach that could otherwise be filled with garlic fries. The dining room is a bit small. Let's call it intimate. The staff are wonderful. Go. Eat fries. Life is good.

Some of the more well known places down here I don't like so much for one reason or another. I have been walking past Clocked for years an never tried it. Well, today was going to be the day! I was seated quickly by a friendly staffer. The vibe here is Athens collage restaurant. Which I like. Rather than a burger today I chose the Chicago dog with some cheese fries. This is not a Chicago dog, the bun was toasted and not soft with poppy seeds. Bit it was good. The fries were freshly cooked, crispy, and hot. Cheese sauce was excellent. I go to a 40 Watt or Foundry show about once a month. I will be back to Clocked again to try a burger. I like this place.

Reminder about service dog etiquette and ADA rules I want to…read moreshare something that happened today because it was a personal violation and a reminder of how important it is for businesses to understand ADA rules. I stopped at Brett's Casual American with my service dog, Stormy. The server was excellent -- respectful, professional, and even asked before petting her. He mentioned he used to foster Dobermans growing up, and he clearly understood how to behave around a working dog. The issue was with the owner. He demanded to see "papers," insisted Stormy needed a vest with a visible ID tag, and told me I was "harassing his staff," even though the staff had been nothing but kind. For anyone who doesn't know: under the ADA, businesses cannot require documentation, certification, or specific gear. They can only ask two questions: Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability What task the dog is trained to perform What crossed the line for me was when he reached out and touched Stormy without permission. I walked out immediately. Touching a working service dog is not only inappropriate -- it interferes with medical equipment and puts the handler at risk. It felt like a personal violation, not just a misunderstanding. Most people in Athens are great about this, and I really appreciated the server who handled everything correctly. I'm sharing this so neighbors are aware of the proper etiquette and to help prevent situations like this in the future.

Nestled in a gorgeous building that was once a residential house, the restaurant has a gorgeous and cozy ambience that makes you feel like you're visiting with friends from the moment you enter. The menu changes with the seasons, and I've never been less than impressed with the often-inventive dishes. I highly recommend starting with their cast iron cornbread. It sounds simple, but it's truly elevated. Right now, the sweet potato brown butter pierogies are absolutely mouth-watering, and the hazelnut bread pudding is rich and a perfect blend of sweetness and cream. The waitstaff is top notch and you'll receive better, more attentive service here than at restaurants with much larger price tags in Atlanta. They also have an impressive cocktail program and wine list. On the "it's the little things" list, the candles 5 & 10 uses in the restroom are outstanding! They sell them and they're spendy, but worth it.

It was one single sip, halfway up the glass. the ice cube was the whole entire cup.
