Well, yeah, this is a railway pub, but that is mainly because it happens to be located near the railway station. Actually, the station that it is located near is Baker Street, the station famous for a consulting detective (sort of). Anyway, yeah, this pub isn't bad, though it is fairly standard. Well, standard to the extent that it has some pretty good art inside. However, I have to admit that as a pub this one really doesn't blow my mind at all. read more

Lively bar in great location near Baker street station Great service On hot summer day air conditioning they have is appreciated

I ordered the Steak and Ale Pie, which was served with mashed potatoes on top, fresh seasonal vegetables (basically peas and carrots), and a jug of gravy. I was a bit disappointed with the vegetables because they were flavorless, but the pie was so delicious. read more

The Globe - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

This place was pretty good! It was my first European pub experience. There is a decent amount of beers on tap (not as many as I had hoped for). The pies are so good- probably the better of the ones I had during my London stay. Their martinis and delicious and they also offer ciders as well as a full bar. The atmosphere is good for groups and just a casual fun time out. read more

The renowned Baker Street detective, Sherlock Holmes, sat thoughtfully on the red leather armchair with a pipe on his hand. After a knock, Dr.Watson entered the study and gave Holmes an urgent, but polite reminder. "My friend" Watson said, "It is time pay the crime scene a visit." The crime scene was just down the street at the corner pub, The Globe. A brisk walk on a chilly Summer afternoon left both the gentlemen rather exhausted. They decided to get some information with bartender first. Watson approached the bar. "Good 'noon, sir. May I have two pints of the pale ale, please." "Comin' right up." "You know most of the regulars here?" "We don't get many regulars up here, mate. Just tourists mostly. I don't usually see the same face twice. That'll be 9 pounds for the drinks." "Good day, sir." Watson found Holmes outside by the standing tables and relayed the newly acquired information. He did not forget to add that the pub two streets down had pints for a better price. After a drink of their beverage, Holmes appeared absorbed in thought. After a moment of reflection, the legendary detective asked Watson to summarize the case thus far. "Very well. The victim was scheduled with Mr. Malevance here at The Globe. According to our notes, Malevance is a rather frugal apprentice who works just two streets down. He told us he had met the victim here several times before, and they had plans to enjoy a cold and refreshing beer here on the day of the crime. However, according to Malevance, the victim never showed up." There was a glimmer in Holmes eyes. He just had a breakthrough. "My dear Watson, Malevance is lying. As a frugal consumer, there is little chance that he will be willing to spend nearly 5 pounds for a drink when, as you mentioned, there is a pub near where he works for a far better price." "But maybe he enjoys the quality of The Globe and is willing to pay a premium. Could that be a possibility?" Watson inquired. "Take another drink, old friend. Malevance said he planned for a 'cold and refreshing' drink, but you and I can both attest to the fact that this beer is served warm. While that may be a crime in itself, it also happens to be evidence against Malevance's testimony." "Finally," Holmes continued, "Malevance claimed to have met the victims many times before at The Globe. But our fine bartender here says that this pub is only frequented by tourists. Thus, Watson, I have little doubt that Malevance has given us false information!" "Cheers, Holmes." Watson said in awe, "You've done it again." The two gentlemen left their warm beer in haste and walked through a group of tourists to their office. read more

The Globe - warm like the summer sun - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

The best pub I have been to in London! If you go there make sure to talk to George!!!

Great vibe...as a younger person rn is is a great spot to be at! Would definitely recommend

The Globe has a captive audience being the only obvious meeting place in close proximity to Baker Street. And it's nice that it doesn't abuse it's position as the only pub on this stretch of the busy Marylebone Road. It's big and fairly basic, the typical tourist-catcher with just enough of a traditional pub feel to it. Their fish and chips were popular with a group of school kids on my last visit who must have stopped over after a visit to Madame Tussauds. I've been here on busy nights when drinkers spilled out onto the pavement. This is not possible at the moment with the front obscured by some massive hoardings. You have to walk around a building site to find the entrance. It's rather noisy downstairs with the sensual overkill loud Europop but you can usually find a spot in the quieter bar upstairs. The friendliness of the staff came as a pleasant surprise. The bar up here is tiny and stocked with just the basics, but our server went downstairs to get some cucumber when we specified we'd like our G&T with Hendricks - well impressed. read more

The Globe - Upstairs bar - perfect for a quiet drink - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

After 30 minutes of having the hardest time finding a place to eat, we decided to come here and it was delicious!! We all got the Taylor Walker Steak & Ale Pie and wow so good. Great flavors, it wasn't too salty. The crust is always my weakness and I couldn't stop eating it, even when I was full. I also got the fries...so yummy! Service was a bit slow, but at least the food was worth the wait. read more

I'd imagine The Globe gets a lot of punters by pure luck. When you step out of Baker Street Station, looking for a meeting point, it's either the Sherlock Holmes Statue, or the Pub. The pub has alcohol, the statue has Chinese tourists. The pub has an upstairs and downstairs; the downstairs is normally pretty busy, and normally has football on the T.V. The upstairs is normally quiet and doesn't have football because it doesn't have a T.V. But it does have a few sofas. This has been a handy venue for me for work meetings. Handy because it has food, and handy because it has drink. Handy is a weird word when you say it a lot, try it. Anyways; The staff are friendly, the drinks are pretty cheap - especially when someone else pays, the only annoying thing being that you have to walk down another flight of stairs to get to the toilets. What's also handy is that just outside and across the road is a little stand that sells waffles, which always delight me. read more

The Globe - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

When working at Madam Tussauds, me and some of our acting group would go to one of two pubs after every shift, one of those was the Globe as it was right opposite us, it is great, there is some outside seating, which is really loud as it is on the Marylebone high Road, and it is huge inside. I have been countless times and the crowd varies, it all depends on what is happening in London, like a football match, or rush hour, or a simple week night. I have never encountered any trouble and there is always a good mix of people. It is cheap and cheerful and is a real old place, I got speaking with one of the bar maids a few years back, who still happens to be a close friend today, and she told me that it was built in the 1700's... that's old. read more

I hate to do this. But seriously and in all-honest-to-God-sincerity, this was by far the worst sandwich I've ever tried to eat in my life. Tried!? Yes, tried. I had to wash down each bite with beer because it was bone dry. The bread threatening to disappear into dust by one mean glance. A slab of mustard, some dry ham (how can ham be dry!? It is old). Some cheese that was indecipherable. A sandwich is something so easy, truly I could make it. The service is only done at the bar, so there was no one to even check in to see "how things might be going." Not well, my friends, not well. Accompanied by a few sprigs of yellow lettuce. Insult to injury! Salt in the sandwich wounds. More like CROAK Monsieur. Bad news, yelpers. Stay away from the food and if you are going to hit up this super-expat hangout, stick to beer. And beer alone. read more

Just another over priced central London pub, nothing spectacular. It's part of Taylor Walken -pubs (a big chain) so the food is good but the beer is expensive: £5.40 for a pint is the most I have ever paid in London and hopefully will be! If your in the are and just want a pint I recommend the Metropolitan across the street. It's a Wetherspoon (cheap pub chain) so the drink won't set you back too much... read more

The Globe theoretically shouldn't be a bad place to have a pint, but for some reason it just is! Prices are standard pub prices, and have a fair range of drinks, but this is let down by being near Baker Street tube station, and a stopping point on the eve of most football (US: read 'soccer') games for anyone going to Wembley. If you are up for a few replica shirt clad scraps with gangs of blokes with a plastic pint of lager, then this is the place for you. FYI - This and the Metropolitan Bar over the road shut after everyone has left for Wembley to prevent groups of fans returning after a few more shandies to beat seven shades out of each other. read more

On the second day of our London honeymoon, my husband and I stopped in after getting caught in the rain leaving The Sherlock Holmes Museum. We chose this place because the sign said The Sherlock Holmes Bar, but it fell short of the advertised theme--and the upstairs Sherlock Holmes dining room was closed. However, the beer was good and the sampler platter was quite enjoyable--especially my very first English meat pie! read more

Really enjoyed this place during my stay in London for a week! I was with a fairly large group the first night I went here so we all sat upstairs and we all loved the atmosphere. I can't remember the name but whatever cider they had on tap was by far my favorite cider Ive ever had! I ate their vegetarian friendly "fish" and chips and it was so salty and delicious! I will definitely be back the next time I am in London. read more

I remember quaffing a pre football drink here many years ago that I quite enjoyed. Maybe things have gone downhill a little, because the pub seemed to lack an atmosphere despite being busy....too busy really. A couple of tvs apologise for their existence on the walls. The big tables outside are quite decent though. Had a half of abbot ale that wasn't even worth drinking really. Has been around for centuries. Probably goes through good and bad times but its location for tourists and other travelers will keep it alive. read more

This place is probably better known for it's tourism purposes than it's function as a pub -- supposedly this historic pub is where Sherlock Holmes liked to get some relaxation. I swung by while waiting for my friend at Baker St tube station (conveniently across the street from the pub). The food here is as you'd expect, I had a beef pie which is done fairly well. The pastry was a little bit on the dry side but the filling was delicious. To drink, I had a nice Cornish Pilsner which was pretty good, nothing special though. Runs a little on the expensive side, all together I paid ~ 18 quid for lunch and a pint. read more

The meals are tasty and hearty. Staff were very helpful and friendly. They have a full menu. The lamb shank Shepherd's pie was delicious. And the fish and chips seemed an extra large portion. Perfect. The atmosphere is very relaxed considering it is in a very busy area of London. I would definitely recommend this spot to others. read more

No fuss pub with decent food (slightly overpriced) and the usual selection of beers. If you just wanna catch-up with your mates then this is it. read more

Standard big-chain pub. Menu is uninspired. Bartender was helpful. There are other more authentic pubs nearby (try Beehive around the corner on Crawford St.). read more

The Globe pub near Baker Street is a huge pub which gets lots of tourists. I think they must rely on them because one visit is enough. I ordered roast beef and for some reason this pub doesn't provide roast beef when you order it. They provide a chunk of braised beef instead. They call it roast beef on the menu. My friend ordered medium rare steak but it arrived raw and was sent back for more cooking. She also ordered a salad and was offered Tartar Sauce as a dressing which is shocking really. This place is not cheap and many tourists go in there so it should be better. read more

I go to the globe at least once every time I visit london, Its conveniently located next to the hotel I usually stay at. The prices are decent, the food is good, service is quick and I love the strongbow cider they serve. read more

I have ended up in the pub a few times as it is near a lot of work places and close to a tube to get me home after! My visits have normally been spurred on by the need to find a pub in the area that is showing the football / rugby. They have lots of screens so matter where you stand / sit, you can get eyes-on the game. Even though when it is really busy, you can get served almost straight away, which is something I have to say is a real bonus. The toilets are a bit of a mission to get to, down the stairs, round several corners and then finally you can pee! There are enough tables and "barrel-tops" to stand by if you want to sit outside. The pricing is average for London. It's good for sports watching and to roll over the road to a tube station, but that is where my appreciation of this place ends. I wouldn't really go here for drinks with friends for a catch up or for food. It really is just to watch the game and for that it serves it's purpose well. If I am in the area and want to watch a game it's top of my list, for anything else, there are plenty of better bars/pubs around the area. read more

Kinda touristy, but in a good, central location for a meet-up. We got together with a London friend while visiting and shared a couple of pints as well as a decent fish and chips. Prices are in line with the area and just a bit above regular pub fare. read more

We stopped into the Globe for some fish and chips and felt it to be a good pub experience. The food was delicious and the cider on tap (I think Strongbow) was cool and refreshing. read more

Nice atmosphere. Although I admit I'm not an Engländer, I thought the fish and chips were okay. I really wanted to eat authentic and have a pub experience. The beer was good and the pulled pork nachos were pretty tasty. read more

This place has just had a refit and clearly the new staff are enthusiastic. The place was let down though by the lack of snacks (apparently the staff have eaten all the crisps) and the limited range of price lists. It is a huge improvement on the previous incarnation, but not as good as the local Chapel and Perseverance pubs. I'd go elsewhere for the time being as it can only improve and when it does I will head back to try again! read more

Great place for a pint. Grabbed a couple, hung out at the outside section with heat lamps, and enjoyed the people watching. Easy access to Baker St underground. read more

Its an old man's pub of course it has a ghost! A traditional pub isn't worth its salt unless it has a good ghost story. Its your basic pub, with fish and chips, across the street from Madam Tussauds. Its not The Globe like Shakespeare's Globe its more like The Globe in reference to the earth as a globe, with big pictures of continents outside. There are usually lots of office workers outside having a drink afterwork, and a hot spot for tourists grabbing lunch. Nothing to write home about, but not bad either. read more

Right across the street from the Baker Street tube stop. Good selection of beers. They pull an excellent pint of Guinness. On a recent night, the eggs on my ham, egg and chips were a little over done, but I got an ENORMOUS pile of ham, so - yay! Their fish and chips are excellent, reliable, standard pub grub. The fish is fresh and perfectly fried. Nice, cozy place to watch the match and have a pint or three. read more

Ciders are all fantastic. Service is friendly and fast. Food is just what you expect. On point.

This place was okay, it seemed like the people that worked there were annoyed, but I guess if you're right by Madame Tussaud's, it would be a given. read more

Not bad...food is okay...beer is better! Good place to people watch!

This place is right off of the Baker St. tube station. I visited here for one of my school's mixers and there are two levels in case downstairs gets too crowded. In general, a decent bar to meet up with friends. read more

Very convenient for baker street tube. The place has a great feel to it. Old style pub with trendy post work crowd. Can get busy and they hire out the Sherlock bar upstairs for private functions. read more

Great location, but can become very cramped. Its right on the busy tourist trail and the clientele is a mixture of locals battling with tourists. It was difficult getting a drink, and seating is difficult to get. However it has a great vibe about the place and location wise its great. read more
