The Globe is an imposing three story building situated on the marina Esplanade on Cowes waterside. The pub is visible from the water traffic coming into the harbour and with it outside decking and top deck dining area gives the impression of a place that someone would want to visit and spend time.
The pub has a large deck front area mainly laid out to booths with umbrellas, then internally there are two floors, the first floor is a more relaxed drinking area with low sofas and tables and quirky fixtures and fittings. There are toilets and an accessibility toilet on this level. There is also access to the ground floor cellar at the back of this trading area. The main bar is In the centre of this trading area with plenty of back bar advertising and merchandising space for wine and spirits and a full range of draught and cask ales. .
The upper floor is accessed via an internal staircase and is more laid out for dining due to the views over the river Medina. Again that is booth seating and then a small balcony area where people can eat and drink and enjoy the sunshine outside. There are toilets on this level and access through to the kitchen.
The upper deck area is reached once again for an internal staircase. This area has composite decking planting and rattan style furniture which is popular for people having a drink and enjoying the views. This area can be hired as a private dining or drinking area as it could be said it has the best views in Cowes.
The pub has been refurbished by the in situ publicans to a high standard with quirky pictures, wall coverings, and fixtures and fittings. These are in keeping with the nautical theme of the location of the pub.
Private Accommodation
There is no publican accommodation at the Globe, however there are two store rooms underneath the main deck floor and a small shower room so there is capability of a 'crash pad' if a manager or publican needed to stay overnight, however this is not a permanent residence.
