The Globe

This pub is huge, especially when compared to others around here. This makes you wonder who thought 2 female toilets was sufficient. The queue was ridiculous.
The beer selection is impressive and the staff is knowledgeable and patient as you try some samples.
The negative is that the place feel soulless to me. No good atmosphere on a Saturday night and it was loud. There are a lot of better craft beer venues in this area.

[Review from Nov 2015]
Cozy place to grab a craft beer and crafted mixed drinks in HK. Main downsides for me were the high prices (then again, it’s alcohol in Hong Kong) and the number of tourists/​expats.
We ended up getting the Young Master Classic IPA ($ 65/​pint) and a Lemongrass Lagino ($ 60/​glass). The Lagino was really quite good – it tastes like a mint mojito. Chill place to hang for the night and near a lot of other bars and food places.

I’d prefer to give the Globe 3.5 stars.
More beers than you can shake a stick at and plenty of food options. l, with portions definitely on the large end of the spectrum.
Tonight we had the Chicken Leek & Ale pie, the Goats Curry Pie, and the Fish and Chips. Pies were very good although the chips (as you’ll see in my photos) were a tad overcooked. We also asked for Baked Beans and which were unfortunately only slightly warm. Fish batter was crispy as it should be.
Service was a bit hit and miss; one lady was polite and somewhat enthusiastic although another was ok to start but lost her way when the beer we asked for wasn’t available.
I’ve eaten here a few times before and each time come away wondering whether I enjoyed it. I guess I did. Will I be back? I guess yes I will

Pretty chill spot for some delicious HK craft beer. The Globe has a surprisingly large selection of craft beers from around the globe, suiting its name right. You can also choose different sizes for your beer — 210mL, 445mL, and even a 2L takeout!
Service was pretty friendly and helpful with making recommendations. I tried the Young Master classic and was not let down. There are also board games and cards available so you can play games with good company as you enjoy your drink. The only downside is that it gets a bit loud, like all other pubs. Just might not be so ideal to have deep talks about life here, but that’s quite alright: P

HK was run by the British at one point in time, and I wanted to get British food while in HK! My colleagues and I went to The Globe and once you walk in, it really was like we were in the UK. :) I had their CHICKEN PIE, with beans. It was heavy as hell, but definitely flavorful. It was nice to try, but a bit too much for me.
I knocked down a star because the server that served us gave my boss a dirty beer glass with lip marks on it, and tried to justify it by rinsing it, and then still leaving water in the glass. We were beyond grossed out, and my boss just drank his beer out of the bottle.
ENJOY!

So I’ve been here a number of times and have many wonderful memories here. I’d give it a 3.4 if I could, but Unilocal insists on its 5 point scale and I rarely round up… so here goes:
Pros:
Great atmosphere
Excellent selection of craft beers
Damn fine bloody marys
Friendly service staff
Cons:
Difficult to have a conversation even if the person is seated right next to you because of the noise level
Pricey
Food is very salty and greasy. (Really because of the food that I can’t give this place a 4 or higher.)
Can’t book a table on Friday/​Saturday nights unless you’ve got more than 10 ppl
I really like the staff here though :)

The Globe is always good for a good ol’ pie and cider! The staff are very friendly and always quick with the jokes. I will always keep coming back here for that UK pub feel. The food is always fresh and tasty!

Wonderfully solid place to drink (and to eat.)
Standard Brit pub fare and non-​standard (read: awesome!) beer list. Lamb ribs are to die for.
Beers are organized into different categories, from hoppy to pale. There are Belgians, Americans, British, French, Japanese, you name it. Nice deals to be had at the happy hour which runs daily until 8pm.
Why not 5 stars? Unless you talk to a manager or the bar staff, the floor staff are woefully deer-​in-​headlights if you ask them a question about the beer lists, current selection, flavour, etc. For such a beer heaven, I’m baffled at why staff aren’t better trained to answer these questions for the clientele.
I will say this though. The one time there was an issue, a manager promptly and affably solved it for me. That earns a place points.

This is by far the best place to get your hands on some damn good craft beers in the 852. You’re probably sick and tired of knocking back Heinekens, Carlsbergs, Blue Girl and Stellas. Well, The Globe has got your back and you’ll probably be able to find some good craft brews from your home country (or town).
The ambiance here is what you’d expect from a British style pub. Everything from the seating arrangement to the stools and environment is what you’d expect from a pub. They are super quick here and will seat you right away. Or you can just grab a seat at the bar and have your brews immediately served!
If you’re going to drink here, please go with something you can’t find elsewhere. Don’t be that person ordering a typical beer such as San Miguel or Carlsberg…
The menu is very extensive and very detailed. You’ll find everything from the alcohol percentage of the beer, to the type of beer is it, along with its origin. Everything can be found from all corners of the globe (hence the name)!

I will go to Globe when I miss the English pub experience… And good place to watch sports. Food’s pretty good too — especially the pies!

Delicious chips and an outrageously good Hong Kong Co. ale brewed by Former brewmaster Simon Pesch of Pyramid Breweries. We really enjoyed our stop-​in.

If you are looking to relax with old school English pub grub and beer, this is a good place to consider. The Globe is exactly what you would imagine a pub to be — a dark, cavernous space, a bar, stools, a juke box playing classic British rock, tables scattered around and servers who are casual, quick and efficient.
Despite the simplicity of what a pub entails, their offering is so much more. Several blackboards line the long walls of the pub, where daily specials like delicious lamb pie have been quickly scrawled. Once you sit down, they pass you a clipboard with pages (and pages and pages) of beer that they offer both on tap and by the bottle from all over the world — including local beer on tap.
We had dinner there and were able to try many different kinds of beer before settling on our preferred brew of choice. It was fun to taste them all — just make sure to save some space for the meal as it is filling.
Mains are wonderfully traditional — several variations of the pot pie, Scottish eggs, smashed peas, fish & chips are but a few of them.
Try the Scottish eggs as a starter. They serve you a fresh egg with a gooey middle, wrapped around ground meat flavored with many spices that is all gently fried so you have the crunch of the fried meat and the buttery softness of the yolk all in one bite. The eggs are paired with a fresh salad with a vinaigrette and a chutney so you get a hit of acid to counterbalance the fat. It’s great with a good IPA or an ale.
If you have a chance to, try the lamb pie. The flavors are wonderfully balanced and will hit the spot if you are looking for a warm, hefty meal.
I would recommend the fish and chips for those of you looking for fare from the sea. Their fish are battered and fried in one large fillet. Some may say it is overly battered, but that’s where I suggest you ask for malt vinegar. I’ve had this meal many times in some great pubs in New England and DC and this dish compares in the flakiness of the fish and all that fried goodness that’s balanced by the vinegar.
The only dish I would half-​heartedly recommend is the beef pie. It is a bit too acidic for my taste. I would suggest changing the wine or beer they used to make the dish so patrons are not hit with too much acid and not enough of the warm heartiness that is characteristic of such a dish.
All-​in-​all, it’s a wonderful place for a hearty meal and a great beer. Have fun!

Best beer selection in HK! The crumbed fish sandwich is really good. Service is good.

With the anticipation of a return trip to Hong Kong for New Years Eve celebrations, I can’t help but think of one of my favorite desitnations.
The Globe! Between Roundhouse and this place a mere block and a half away, you’re at ground zero for the craft beer revolution in this rather amazing town.
The Globe is a brit style pub in Central just off the mid level escalator and hollywood road… and it’s lovely. Even on the busiest days you step up the hill, open the doors, and you’re instantly chilled out by the relaxed atmosphere. Lovely, low key décor, a mix of ramped up brit gastro pub food (thing pies on steroids) and inventive but hearty bar fare, and the beer… I generally only drink beer when I’m in a walking town (so I can work the stuff off!), so in HK I definitely partake. They’ve got it all Kagua from Japan, Mikkeller from everywhere… their list is about 6 pages longer than their menu and the best part is it’s virtually all accessible for happy hour.
Oh! And they stay open late for Premier League matches. Just thinking about it has me excited to be back!

I was quite pleased with the Globe, although was slightly apprehensive of an expat bar, this one seems to be the exception to the rule… Yes, nearly everyone at the bar is an expat… but the douchery seems to be kept to a minimum as well as a decent selection of beers and really good Scotch eggs.

Beer heaven. I actually quite like wit beer. It is just the stupid calorie reason that I try to avoid it. Also the saying ‘beer is for losers’ quite upset me.
When I was way younger, I used to drink a lot Hoegardden and then it develops to Vedett when I was living in Europe. I particularly love Belgium and Dutch white beer. Not a fan of the Irish ale…
I even saw three beer making documentary thanks to Heineken. All of these knowledge are becoming useless once I became a wine person. Globe brought it back. The tick menu tells you how rich they are for their selection. Haha, La chouffe! I wanna make my Hong Kong friends try them. And of course, I found two of my favourite from Benelux.
A lad world here for happy hour all the time.

Now, I can’t tell you anything special about the beers because I am still a newbie with beer. But I can tell you that they do have an extensive beer menu and easy to read.
The atmosphere is what I liked most. It’s very low-​key. There’s a couple T.V.‘s to watch your games, as the waitresses continuously fill up your beer cups.
Considering that this place is located in the Mid-​Levels you will find many expats and tourists. They do sell the local HK beers. But, don’t expect to get a «feeling of locals» here. I think it’s meant to cater to expats anyway.
The food. By my standards, the prices are on the high end– 160−250hkd per main dish. But, well worth it! Jerk chicken burger and the beef burger is a YES. It’s a big burger so come hungry. The quality of meat and sides (fat fries or salad) is very good. I couldn’t finish my jerk chicken so I took half home to bring to lunch the next day and it was still tasty! I’ll try a pie nexttime!
Cheers!

The Globe is doing everything right!
Happy Hour from 9 am — 8 pm everyday?! Good for people like us that wants to have an early start.
Beer Selections from around the World. They even have Alchimiste beers from Quebec that I have yet try even I live in Canada! I can keep coming back and untappd with all these beers!
Beer Menu is really well organized divided by style and at least if you are not into hoppy beers you can just forget all those in the super hoppy section.
If you are not a beer drinker, no need to worry! Wine, Gin, Whiskey Tequlia and more!
And if you are not even a drinker and got drag in here… their non alcoholic cocktails is as delicious. My sister loved her Global Crush which was so refreshing on a hot summer afternoon!
Time for another drink!

This place is good if you are looking for craft beers — especially locally brewed beer. This is the only pub that we could find that would sell HK beer. However, this is filled with expats and tourists. To the point, that at one part of the night I forgot I was in HK and thought I was back in Sydney.
The food here is good, but again, nothing on the menu is from HK or tied to the awesome cuisine outside.
It is worth popping your head in for the beer, but I wouldn’t spend the night here, unless you want to watch the football or hang out with expats.

The Globe, located on Graham Road, has the largest selection of beer I have seen at any bar. To get there, walk along Lyndhurst Terrace — the bar is right opposite that blue wall with the paintings of colorful buildings (I’m sure you’ve seen people post pictures of themselves in front of it on Facebook!)
Back to the beer — their menu is pretty creative and is in the form of a little clipboard. There’s page after page after page of just beers, and they’re organized by the types of beers they fall under like dark beers, hoppy beers and even seriously hoppy beers. I’d never even heard of these terms before! I can spend a good ten minutes deciding which beer to get — not because I know lots about beer and am trying my best to make an informed decision, but all the choices are really just overwhelming! There are also alcohol percentages next to each type of beer for your reference too. The Globe has different beers or ciders on tap every time, so make sure to check what it is.
I like that the bar has a sort of old school English-​y vibe to it with its simple décor. They have a pretty good food menu and their fries — or chips, should I say — are great for sharing. They come in two sizes, and I find that the smaller size is good even for a group of five. I love the dip that comes with them — I don’t know what it is, but it’s really good and complements the fries really well. The Globe is actually famous for their pies and I’ve read good things about them, but I’ve never given them a go. Oh, and there’s no service charge here so that’s always a plus!
Give The Globe a visit the next time you need a nice bar for a gathering with friends. It’s a great atmosphere with an even greater selection of beer — you’ll be spoilt for choice here and it’s only a matter of time before you’re back again for another round!

They say that the globe is the greatest place in Hong Kong to get a pie. Well, as a pie connoisseur, I think I would have to agree, but only to a certain extent.
The range of pies they serve is excellent; cheese and onion Cornish pasties for the vegetarians, chicken pies, steak and kidney pies, and a variety of other British staples. These are all served with mashed potatoes or chips, and beans or peas, with lashings of gravy. If pies are not your thing, then you can do one of two things; choose something else on the menu, or just leave. The Globe is known for its pies, and that should be respected!
Alongside to these great pie options, the globe serves a good variety of drinks, wine, spirits, and beers and ales, many of which come from the UK, or the local HK breweries (yes, HKers do brew beer!). There is also a very good roast option during the weekend.
My only criticisms of The Globe are; the whole venue is quite dark. It is a sort of basement bar, and even though the entrance is on Graham Street, the fact that it is buried into the hill, means that there are only small slot windows near the ceilings towards the front. The second is the service, which is unfortunately very slow. This is by no means a fault of the staff, more a staff management issue of not having enough wait staff during their busy periods. During said busy periods, try to get a booking as it can be difficult to get a seat, and even though you are in a British «All-​Bar-​One» style bar/​pub, no-​one wants to eat at the bar like a hobo. It’s just not cricket.
If you’re an ex-​pat, hankering for a little taste of home, you could do a lot worse then come to The Globe. I would recommend it, and I would definitely stick to the chicken or steak pies. Yummers!

PIES PIES PIE PIES and more PIES! I love The Globe for a number a of reasons and not so much for a few, but on with the good stuff first!
Did I mention their pies are awesome? I’ve had my fair share of meat pies and Globe does it right! The sad part is that the pies take between 30 – 40 minutes to prepare, but be patient, its worth it!
After having a few pints of Murphy’s with some buds, we get our pies. They switch up the menu every now and then but you will usually get your staples in there. Pies come with your choice of chips or mash… can’t lose with either one in my opinion.
Everyone has their own technique when it comes to conquering a pie… gravy over the pie? Make a hole in the dead center and then gravy? Cutting it up and dipping it?! Well I’ve tried them all and there is no way for the pies here to taste bad!
They have an impressive list of beers for your picking and also offer a holiday meal for larger groups coming to get festive. Book ahead and you’ll be sure to snag a comfy little booth on the weekends.
I have to say, after going on and on about their pies, that they do offer other foods. I’ve had their holiday meals, but as to their a la carte, nope… I’ve never had the strength to resist the deliciousness that is their pies. You will feel guilty after devouring the whole plate in about 10 minutes, but it feels sooooo good… until it doesn’t.
