+1 for being easily accessible and ready to serve my post-work thirst. +1 for the window seat being open and perfect for people watching +1 for being large enough to accommodate several birthday celebrations - 1 for not serving wings +1 for the incredibly gracious Teresa who was celebrating her birthday with a big group of friends/family. When I asked her where she ordered her wings her response was "Girl, we cooked this at home. And now you get a plate and fill it up, right now!" I tried to resist but she marched me on back to my group of friends to invite everyone over to dine. When we politely declined, all she had to say is "You white people are crazy!" and I followed her back and chowed down on the most amazing wings and macaroni salad I've ever had. Thank you Globe for hosting such a fun 4 hours of boozing! And another +1 for the white wine that impaired my addition abilities. Don't drink and calculate kids. read more

I rarely write reviews for these types of bars...to be honest, this might actually be my first one. A friend of mine suggested a bar near his apartment where we could grab cocktails. He said that it was a no frills type of bar but nonetheless, gets the job done. We walked in and I was all like hmm this is a cute little pub/bar/whatever you want to call it. Then I really looked at the layout some more and was quite impressed. First of all, we managed to snag one of the 2 tables situated right in the window. Literally these are the best seats in the house. Not only do these seats allow you to watch everyone walking by on 23rd st but you can also get a full view of everyone in the bar. These are the pimp daddy VIP seats. So there's a typical bar area where you stand (but there are plenty of bar seats as well) and also a back area for dancing with I believe an additional bar. There was also a DJ spinning some impressively current and awesome music. We arrived at 11:30 on a Saturday night and honestly not even 10/15 minutes later this place was entirely packed wall to wall. I would suggest going at around 11 to secure a good spot! The crowd was definitely on the young side...I would say mid 20's. While The Globe is definitely a very casual bar, I saw my fair share of women with Hermes bracelets and Chanel bags. Be prepared and dress understated but still nice. ++ Cocktails. The grand finale of this review will be about how absolutely lovely The Globe's cocktail list is. No they don't just whip up vodka cranberries and send you on your way. No no no no no. They have a list of specialty martinis. I wasn't expecting much from them to be honest but I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the apple martini and I had something with pomegranate (I believe it was called "The Pom"). DE-LISH. This is not your typical dive-bar shithole where you will be sticking to the floors. This is in the middle of a regular joe schmo bar and a high-end lounge. Somewhere in the middle is The Globe. read more

I was worried about having a birthday in Murray Hill but needed somewhere with space. Several Yelpers I trusted seemed to think this place was decent so I went with it. When we got there, JP (the manager) was friendly, the bar had a great vibe, and we had lots of room to spread out. I felt relieved and ordered a ton of food. We had a corner to ourselves and everyone was having a good time. I looked down to take a bite of their awesome curry fries. When I looked up, there were 800 more people in the bar. We were surrounded by sweaty, unwashed masses and were prodded, poked, and molested by other bar patrons and the staff. I didn't really want my birthday to be a reenactment of my grandparents' experience at Ellis Island. I'm giving three stars because their food was good and the bar itself was solid, but if I were one of the people that came later in the night, this would unquestionably be a one star experience. They let in way too many people - when we all tried to leave it felt like being shoved out a birth canal. We had to relocate to keep the party going. Note to 2012 self - never again. read more

Combine your favorite casual after-work happy hour spot, with that solid bar you can always count on for a quick beer or an easy pregame meeting spot and mix in a bit of your best friend's parent's chill basement den, complete with a fireplace, throw rugs and plush seating arrangements. What does that give you? The Globe. Besides the quick heavy-handed pours, friendly service and convenient location, The Globe has an astounding number of seating options. Bar stools (easy booze access), counter seats (near enough to the action but not right in it), booths (cozy groups), couches and big leather arm chairs (for sipping scotch, obviously). I can imagine that the weekends here can get pretty crowded, so I've never strayed from the weekdays, where the extensive interior never seems to get packed. Which I like. So I get drinks without a hassle. read more

The Globe is the first place in Manhattan to pour me a beautiful pint of Guinness. I've had Guinness elsewhere, but we've had to rely on divey old man bars in the outer boroughs (or even, the 6th borough -- Philly) to get a perfect pour. The last place I dared order a Guinness cracked a fuckin' can. That's insulting. And watery. And it will not happen again. The bar staff are friendly and unpretentious and seemed genuinely happy to be there, chatting with the mixed crowd. As if that weren't enough reason to stop by The Globe, the space is incredible. Big front windows, including a window seat, look out over 23rd Street. A floor to pressed tin ceiling, ornately carved wooden bar with mirrors and glass fronted, brass trimmed refrigerators built in commands most of the front room. The back of the space has booths and large leather sofas and a second bar. I didn't even realize it was there until I went in search of their bathroom. The front space feels quite intimate, but there's plenty of room to bring a few friends and take over a booth in the back. $6 for a pint. $5 for Irish coffee. With prices like that, you can afford to sit and stay a while to enjoy this little haven off 3rd Ave. read more

I celebrated my 25th birthday here -- it was everything I hoped for and more. No joke. I came in mid-week awhile before to check out the space, having seen on their website that they don't charge you for the room if you guarantee a certain number of guests. The bar on a Tuesday night when I went to check it out was busy but not packed and had an excellent beer selection and ambiance. Two adorable Irish brothers own the place and were absolute gentlemen helping me coordinate and set up. Friday night? There's a DJ, dance floor, and the bar tenders are filling glasses as fast as you can order. Basically I had to bring 25 - 30 people and got happy hour prices. It was fantastic. Lastly and most importantly, somehow my friends bribed the DJ into playing my 25 year old wasted self every Lady Gaga song available at least twice which of course only added to the magic. read more

I had the opportunity to come here (I don't usually spend too much time in the 20's) for a friend's birthday party and was a little disappointed upon arriving as the bar was about half full. I noticed that people kept coming in but the bar didn't fill up too much. The drinks were pretty cheap ($5 for a beer) but nothing special so it didn't look like it was going to be that great of a night. Around midnight or so I looked up from talking to a friend and the entire bar was PACKED. From that point on, the energy in the room kept growing to the point where the entire bar had turned into one giant dancefloor, pulsating to the beat of whatever was playing at that time. Needless to say I had a great time, but I wouldn't recommend going until 1130 or so. I'm not sure if there was a line when I left but that may be a factor. They weren't really turning people away so I think it's one of those things where you just have to wait for a few minutes before you get in. read more

Drinks were decent enough and music wasn't terrible but if you choose to go to Globe, you must be wary of the stocky beefcake manager/gatekeeper who may throw out random members of your party as he pleases. One of our friends was told to leave for picking up a friend mid-hug and another for "stealing straws" which were actually put in his pocket by others as a joke. We tried to very patiently reason with the Globe gatekeeper for close to an hour (we had about thirty members of our program at the bar and relocating would have been difficult) but he wasn't interested in having anyone disturb his power trip. Do we live in an America in which two bros cannot participate in a passionate air hug? Are a couple of cheap plastic straws really worth the expulsion of a small Asian boy with a very large heart? I think not. No but really, just avoid the place if beefcake's on the prowl cause you might just get kicked out quite simply for breathing. read more

Awesome - so, I'm not quite sure how I've forgotten to review this place so far. Mind you, I specifically DO NOT COME HERE ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY NIGHTS as I am quite aware of its Jekyll and Hyde nature during these times; following the same logic, I feel The Globe should be called something else at night so no one from the workweek crowd would get confused and, therefore, subject an otherwise pleasant, laid back bar with a local feel to their scathing reviews intended for it's perverse, nighttime, alter-ego. For the 20-somethings looking to come here on a Friday Night instead of going to Joshua Tree, look to a different review. The opinions above^ and throughout are ONLY with regard to the workday and Friday evenings up until the douchebaggery commences. All of the above pretty much comprises any bad aspects of this bar. If they added 1-2 craft beer kegs, I'd say it'd kick them up into 5* territory. The good aspects include many things including the following: Bryant makes some pretty decent White Russians; Amber will chat you up and make you feel right at home or observently leave you to enjoy your burger in peace; the Globe burger is pretty solid with fries and a pickle, AND it's only $10 including a beer up until 4pm... sweet; the moderately dim interior is spacious enough to withdraw privately to a corner with your crew, comfortably hang out in the living room area, or post up at the bar for some serious drinking; regardless of where you sit, the whole place is very warm and inviting (in the dark/wood/gloomy pub sense of the word); drinks are on the whole up to par so I won't bore you with prices and shit that won't actually make your decision either way. Just go here if you're thinking about it. Or don't, and we can keep the awesome, not-too-crowded-so-I-can-actually-talk-with-my-bartenders vibe going strong. Oh, and the dryers in the bathroom will blow your knuckle hairs off if you're not careful. read more

The Globe - Globe burger ftw - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

I think that I need to pay more attention to the Yelp highlights because I notice when it says "20 somethings love this place" I hate it and should stay away at all costs! Lol I could definitely do without this place in my life. The music here is good but thats about it. Nothing else stood out to me here whatsoever. Some guy was so drunk he tried to unplug my phone and take it because he previously had his phone charging in the same spot prior to me but forgot that he had already taken his out. Very loud. Sloppy dancing. Definitely not my scene. Props to the DJ but thats about it. I had 1 beer and left! read more

I booked this place for a Saturday night triple birthday bash. The location is accessible (though random, and clearly the only decent place around) and the space is fantastic. They accommodated our group of 30 easily, and the staff was fantastic- the owner (?) even comped my bill at the end of the night, which was incredibly appreciated. The crowd seems to get a bit douche-y late night, and there's a dance floor that was in no way put to use- which was a bummer because the music was really great. Definitely steer clear of the mixed drinks, though; I'm pretty sure they skip the alcohol when they make them. Thanks for a great night, Globe. read more

The food is good, the drinks are good but it can tend to get expensive and it tends to get really crowded as well. There should probably have more waitresses when it does because it is a pretty big spot that's connected next door to the green room so they are not as attentive as they should be. read more

Solid bar, normal-priced drinks. They have a good amount of space inside. Almost a deceptive amount, really, as from the outside it seems to be perpetually covered in scaffolding which makes it look smaller. Anyhow, my one experience here was slightly clouded by the fact that at one point I had to use the restroom. I would share the details here, but don't really feel like getting my review flagged, but suffice to say it involved one straight man being really impressed with another straight man's package in the mens'. Enough so to loudly exclaim his surprise, give well wishes to the other man, and then exclaim more surprise. Apparently, this thing could have been a special effect from the movie Anaconda. Readers: Just so you know, should you ever be standing next to a man at a urinal, and should you perform the absolutely forbidden-by-man-code "glance over" and notice that he happens to be holding on to what appears to be a flesh-colored tree branch, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to explain how impressed you are. Ever. Ever. read more

So I came here some time last week for a fundraiser. Never heard of The Globe before but now I'll never forget it. I left more impressed with the bar than with the charity (ouch, I know, it sounds cruel, but it's the truth). Mind you, I LOVE nonprofits, believe me, I used to work for one, but this organization just wreaked of feigned passion (even with the good work that they presumably do). Their heart just wasn't beating loudly enough for me to hear it or be convinced by it. Others with me that night also shared this sentiment. But enough of that. This is Yelp not Charity Navigator.. my days of blasting questionable 501(c) 3's are kaput. Apologies for the digression. Anyhow, what I like about The Globe is that it's a good medium-sized venue and there's a understated but intimate vibe to it. The best word to describe it would be cozy. It's got it's lush value too, there's a full bar in the front and towards the rear as well and though I didn't get my mimosa, I still give The Globe points for being classy and stylish. I definitely noticed more of an after-work, professionals crowd and not so much for young revelers (for that you'd be better off in the St. Marks vicinity). P.S. - I didn't catch the skylight, but man oh man, had I seen it with my own eyes, I'd inch my yelp review to a possible 4.5 stars! read more

Dark. Huge. PACKED on weekend nights. I frequent the Globe pretty often because one of my friends is a bartender there. (Look for Jackie, she is the best, literally). I waltzed in here on a Friday night and was floored. It was so crowded, could have been a club. Not the scene for me, personally, but this place is great on weekdays. Still busy but roomy enough to grab a table with your friends and enjoy drinks. They've got a nice window seat section in the front by the bar and a second bar all the way in the back. TV's over both bars to watch games. read more

Opinion: I wouldn't go here because there is nothing special about it. I thought when I came here I was going to get the college hangout vibe. Instead, I got a dark room with okay food. Fun Fact: Someone stole my Victoria Secret jacket here, I'm guessing the person was drunk or just took it from the coat rack. Will I go here again?: The Australian is way better. Meh read more

I give The Globe 2 stars so its already pretty clear I am not a fan. The problem is it really just isn't my kind of place. Drinks prices were fine and the beer selection was better than I expected based off the rest of the experience. I'm not saying they had anything great, but at least they had Guinness on nitro and Magic Hat #9 instead of the bud/miller/coors/samadams I was expecting. So I think the real problem is me. At some point in the years since I moved to NYC I foolishly developed some ridiculous sort of self respect and now I'm unhappy at a place like The Globe. For example, even though the place was packed to the point where you couldn't move, the owners were too stingy to have more than 1 coat checker on staff. I just don't like going places that make me wait 10 minutes to check my coat and then 15 minutes to pick it up. I feel like I am better than that (which is likely untrue, but that doesn't change the fact that I feel that way). Similarly they only had two bartenders so the lines for drinks meant you weren't seeing your friends for at least 20 minutes if you wanted to grab a beer. The list goes on... I don't like places where the bouncers flick flashlights around and herd people like cattle. I don't like places where drunk assholes start bar fight at 11:30pm. I don't like places where my entire group stops what they are doing to comment "this DJ may be the worst I've ever heard". So, no, I don't like The Globe. read more

I love the Globe and JP and Eamonn (brothers/owners) are brilliant. I've been a few times and it's always been great - cosy and intimate when you want it to be, and also a fun place to go wild and dance when you're in the mood! We had our wedding after-party there and could not have had a better time. The place easily held the 100 people who showed up at midnight and the DJ played fun songs that kept the party going! Photographic evidence even shows that my bride and I were dancing on the back bar at one point...in full wedding gear! We will definitely be back and will absolutely have more parties there! read more

Not a place for Soccer fans/VERY Rude manager A friend and I came to watch the soccer game tonight btw USA and Ecuador. There were 2 games going on, Basketball on one end of the place, big screen, audio where most of the patrons were and then soccer on the other side on a muted smaller screen, watched by us and another table behind us. We decided to stick around anyway b/c the place wasn't crowded and we got perfect seats right in front of the screen. We were enjoying the game, especially since USA was winning, THEN! At the very last second the game ended, the manager/owner comes and switches it to basketball, RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!..and walks away. No acknowledgment that we were watching, no apologies. We told the bartender we wanted to watch the highlights and heck watch them celebrate them winning! Manager guy comes half way back and yells game over and they needed the extra audio for the basketball game, and walks away. Super rude, no apologies. This place deserves just one star if any. Other than the awful, rude, #$^@#$ manager, bartender was great and good bar food. Definitely not coming back. read more

It was Friday October 28th...the weekend of Halloween celebrations. My friend had her birthday party at The Globe with the facebook event invite saying costumes are optional. I love Halloween and costumes are NEVER optional in my book. You know the scene in Legally Blonde where Elle goes to the party dressed up as a bunny and NO ONE ELSE IS IN COSTUME? Replace bunny with spotted feline (I'm not up to date on my cat classifications), Elle with me, and Legally Blonde with my life. But NBD, because the drinks are sooo well priced (Tanqueray and tonic for $8? Yes please) and the bartenders were all dressed up. I showed up around 11pm and by 1am the place filled up with more people in costumes so I wasn't the only kitty kat in the place. Overall, it was a good night. The bar isn't pretentious, there is no line, the drinks are cheap, and the boys are tall/cute. Meow! read more

Came here for a friend's birthday party. The drinks are okay and the average price you'll find in Manhattan. I think draft beer was $7-8. My friends didn't need to reserve any space, but told people to stop by and it worked out fine. The place wasn't very crowded when we went at 9, but filled up by 11. read more

I've been to the Globe before and enjoyed it, but my friends and I had a really unpleasant experience last night. An out-of-town friend picked it as a gathering spot, and we also wanted to watch a 7 p.m. basketball game while drinking and noshing. There are two TVs, one at the front bar and one over the back. The one in front was on, showing the ACC tournament game we wanted to watch, and the one in the back was off. My friend asked the bartender in back if he could turn on the TV to the game, since that's the one we were sitting closer to. The bartender refused, saying the light would bother the people who were eating dinner. So we went to the front bar, ordered food and more drinks, and watched the game. About halfway through the first half the bartender changed the channel to a different game (Big East tournament) at the request of a group. My friend again asked the bartender to turn the TV in the back to the ACC game we were originally watching. The bartender was very rude and refused, saying "I'm not going to tell you again," as if my friend was a drunk who'd been badgering him for hours rather than a polite patron who'd been ordering food and drink and wanted to continue doing so. We had been having a really good time, and would have stayed for several more hours, spending more on food and drinks. Instead we left to find a bar where we could watch the rest of the game and where the bartenders aren't intentionally rude assholes to the customers. read more

I was trying to locate a new place to celebrate my birthday this year and came across The Globe. Based on other reviews, it seemed like the perfect option. I was able to book a space without a minimum fee; no cover was required; and the casual pub even had a dance floor. I was quickly sold on the space and sent out my invitation without even seeing the bar in person. As the date approached, I began to get nervous about my blind decision and opted to stop in one evening after work. I reasoned that if I was unhappy with the space, I still had a few days to revise my destination. I entered the bar and looked around. I saw a coat check, tons of seating areas, and a casual group of happy hour patrons lounging around the two spacious bars. I had been told over the phone that the back area would be reserved for my group, so I headed into the rear of the space and surveyed the section. I was more than satisfied in that regard, but was worried that the late night dance scene would never happen and that my guests would just be standing around bored. I approached the bar and was greeted by the UK native, Sara. The sweet girl confirmed that the center tables were moved out of the way on weekend evenings when the DJ came on around 10 pm. This then created the makeshift dance floor. I left The Globe with a positive outlook and no plans to change the venue. On the Saturday evening of my event, I arrived to find out that my party had been repositioned to the more cramped section of the back room. Since the weather had deterred many of my guests, I decided not to make a fuss about it. Generous bartender, Sara, happened to be working that evening and bought me a shot, as well as a mini bottle of champagne. Though the music was fun and upbeat, the DJ did not get started until around 11pm, rather than the promised 10:00. However, the bar was rather empty due to the inclement weather, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. As the evening progressed, the room filled up quickly, and the crowd rushed the dance floor. My event was pleasant and allowed all of my guests to enjoy a convenient and comfortable evening. I would definitely recommend The Globe for a relaxed event. Do not worry about seeing the space; just take my word for it! read more

The bartender was supremely charming and astute. The doorman was atrocious : He screamed at us to get out at 3:45....I get it, but why scream?!?! Also, got weirdly confrontational on the street after. Is that what this establishment wants to represent itself??!? read more

In the nearly four years I've live in NYC, I don't think there's a bar I've frequented more than the Globe (I'm not sure what that's saying about me or my friends!) At 27 now, I do feel my best times at the Globe have passed me, but here is why I've been a frequent fan in the past: -Always comfortably crowded (I say this because you can count on this place to never be empty and but never push-and-shove full except maybe in the center dance floor) -The music and the drinks are reliable and fun -Good mix of guys, girls and ages If you're looking for a good night out, there's nothing to lose by venturing to the globe! read more

I come here often as a Baruch grad student. The happy hour is great, and the burger/beer deal for $12 is perfect. There's always room to sit, not too loud (so you can hear friends talk without shouting) and have a great beer selection. It's relatively inexpensive and I actually really enjoy their house light beer. Good for groups or to catch a game. The bartenders are super friendly without being intrusive. read more

This is one of my favorite bars in the city. Great (somewhat greasy) bar food, decent decor and lots of tvs for game viewing. The bartenders are great and the waitresses, while sometimes snippy, are usually prompt and efficient. This is the place you go to for laid back enjoyment. It is not pretentious, it is not gourmet, but it's cheap, has lots of space and the crowd is usually a really good mix. Drinks are reasonably priced, as is the food. read more

Went to the Globe for a birthday party last weekend. It's a bar/saloon type atmosphere and most of the ppl there were in their early to mid 20s. Dress is casual to dressy, whatever fits your mood. There's no cover and even though it was packed inside, the bouncers were not obnoxious to make you wait outside. It was freezing cold that night so I appreciated them having a lax door policy. The music was diverse and the DJ had a great selection from today's pop to older stuff from the 80s and 90s. The drinks were cheap compared to other places in the city. The crowd was very hyped up and everyone was having a great time. No false pretenses, no attitude, just 200% all American fun. read more

Well I'm giving it 4 stars because I don't remember much more than walking through here and it being crowded, getting a drink (of water) from the kind bartender, and going to the bathroom; where I lost the person I was with and proceeded to send very weird texts, which I read the next day and have no recollection of sending or what they mean. I found the person I was with, don't worry, then left some where around 2am. From what I remember it looked like nice place, I'd go back. But then again don't take my word for it I remember very little. read more

What a great casual place to come for a drink after a long tiring day. I've been wanting to come here for awhile and I had the chance to come with a bunch of out-of-towners for a quick drink after an intense day. Owned and operated by two Irish brothers, the Globe has a great vibe and ambiance of an Irish pub. Drink prices are Gramercy-average, and $15 min is required for use of a credit card. They serve both food and beer, so if you're just looking for a casual place to wind down in Gramercy, the Globe should be your choice. It's a great place for happy hour! read more

The space was warm and entertaining. The bartender was attentive and even suggested to come back on Friday's for the Dj. Orange beer on craft was fresh as well read more

Any place that plays Miley Cyrus's Party in the USA (twice) and Shout gets 4 stars in my book. In addition to the incredible music, bud lights were $5, the bar was spacious enough to dance my pants (nearly) off and there were comfortable couches and tables all around when I needed a break from dancing. The only thing I wish the Globe had was more bathrooms stalls. read more

The lunch and dinner menus offer the same selections found at dozens, and most likely hundreds, of other restaurants in the city. How many times can a person order spinach & artichoke dip, hummus, wings, sliders, potato skins, wraps, and chicken sandwiches before saying "enough!"? If The Globe did something interesting with their preparation of any of these items, I might feel differently, but sad to say, the food is mediocre. The beer list is decent, but not everything on the list is available. Some evenings the place switches gears and becomes more of a lounge/club than a restaurant - complete with bouncer and roped off entrance. I don't dislike The Globe. It has a lot of potential, but it's squandered by its sameness. read more

Winter blizzard forced me to into this spot unexpectedly - lucky break. Barman was very friendly, nice crowd too in a bar much nicer than I expected. There in fact two bars, one at the rear and an area with nice private booths, quiet romantic I imagine. Guinness was good, the barman always asked me well in advance for a refill so the next pint had time to settle. Food menu was just right, not too large not too small. I of course had to sample the burger, it was very good, I rate it as follows; Patty = excellent Cooked - perfectly Char - no Bread - only let down, far too big for the burger, but it was fresh Extras - all good, plenty of options and cheeses Pickle - perfect and fresh Fries - small cut but with skin on home style so almost perfect malt vinegar - yes! Solid bar I woud be proud to call my local. read more

I had my 23rd birthday party here last Friday night, and I had the best time! James was incredibly communicative and kind throughout the entire process. The Globe happily hosted me and 50 of my friends in the Green Room, without charging us a reservation or rental fee, plus they provided us with a security guard and a bartender. The staff cut the birthday cake for us and allowed me to put up decorations, too! I can't speak highly enough about the Globe. Whether you're looking for a pint and live Irish folk music on a weekday or a place to go out with friends on a weekend, they've got you covered! read more

Purpose: End of the night bar The first time I walked by this place, I was leaving spin and looking for a place to go. We passed Globe and the walls were VIBRATING, I was impressed so I went in. Globe get's a GOOD CROWD and consistently gets GOOD NUMBERS. The scene is FUN, a lot of drunk people dancing and some cute girls. Down side: bouncer threatened to kick me out because I kept hitting the globe with my beer bottle... IRONIC Recommendation: -go here after SPIN, good night combo and they are close -Best time: 1AM - -Dance with hot girls regardless if you can't remember they are hot read more

I have NEVER not had a great time here (double negative, I know, just keep reading!!)! It's my late night go to spot if I want to get tipsy before showing off my newest dance moves. The bar is large and spacious with two long wooden bars framing the eminent dance floor. Get here around 10pm after dinner and snuggle up to your favorite bartender (hey Amber, hey) and just let the dj warm you up. Before long there's a full on dance party on the floor, don't worry, they'll watch your drink....better yet, take it with you! Awesome spot to hit up if you are finishing your burger at Shake Shack in Madison Square park, or find yourself in the 30's street area and in need of a good time!! Don't fight the beat....you'll loose! read more

Lame beer selection, and overpriced for what they had. So loud you could not possibly hold a conversation without screaming into your friend's ear. Stayed for about an hour, but had to leave when Gwen Stefani songs from 5 or 6 years ago started playing and some guy was doing truly horrible white boy dance moves and tripping over who I assume to be his wasted girlfriend. Not my kind of place. A lot of drunk bros and girls in heels falling over each other. read more

My friend recommended The Globe as a good spot to watch the Yankee game last night. Always snoopy, I jumped onto Yelp to check out the good reviews. 4 1/2 stars ... which seemed good and bad. I like a nice, upscale pub as much as the next person, but when I want to watch a game I want to *watch a game*, so I was worried that The Globe would be a little too upscale for the occasion. We got in at 7:30. There weren't many people, save a few people at the bar. Usually, that's a bad sign. But I liked the vibe of The Globe as soon as we walked in. Very homey. Comfortable. Like a neighborhood bar, only cleaner and more put together. The Globe is finishing up their kitchen and should be opening in a week or so, says an owner - who was also our bartender. On a whim, we asked if we could bring food in. I'd just come from work, my friend came from class, and if we wanted to drink we'd need some food to go with! He said sure, no problem, so we went down a few blocks to the Manhattan Defonte's, picked up some over-sized sandwiches, and returned. (I don't know if this is policy until the kitchen opens or if he made an exception for us on a slower night. If you go over the next week, be sure to ask before you bring food!) We wanted to move closer to a TV, so we departed the main bar up front for the back bar. The owner joked as we went for refills that we had our own private party going, complete with VIP dining area and personal TV. And it was kind of true! The place filled up more once late night classes got out at Baruch, but it was a Tuesday night. Not a huge, huge crowd, which was perfect. Enough TVs to satisfy a sports watcher. But with the upscale touches of a lounge, like the love seats in the middle, the lighting, etc. Nice staff. Not just the owner at the bar. Pretty much everyone came by to ask how the game was going, cracked jokes with us about our gigantic sandwiches, and generally made us feel welcome. Definitely recommended if you're in the area and looking for a place to stop for drinks. I'm interested in seeing what their menu looks like once their kitchen is in order! read more

I came here for a friend's birthday, and he managed to get a table in the back without paying any reservation fees! I had a blast here! It's nice to be able to sit down at a table, order food/drink and actually have a conversation, then dance all night! Once midnight hits, the place basically turns into a dance scene. It's definitely crowded, but if you feel like dancing, this is the place for you! If you want some room, the back of The Globe is generally less crowded so go there if you'd like some extra breathing room. I loved the crowd. The bartenders were great (and you didn't have to wait forever to order drinks either!). And lots of room. Will be coming back here again. read more
