The Globe Sports Lounge & Kitchen in Isle of Wight

Good food, limited menu. Flat iron steak a bit on the small side. Pork Mac and cheese a little too big. 2nd floor a good spot for view. Worth a shot.

Arrived for a birthday lunch today. Ordered food at the bar….two separate orders, one directly after the other for the same table. Unfortunately one order came 10/15 minutes before the other. When questioned with the sullen waiter…he obviously reported back to the kitchen…and then a female member of staff arrived at our table with attitude, to justify that the two orders were separate and would not come at her same time (even though ordered within seconds of each other!) Food okay, one dish luke warm, but main issue is the appalling service and attitude of staff who dealt with us…no manners, attitude and just ‘didn’t want to be there’!!! Not returning…disappointing, as have lived in Cowes for many years. Will not be returning and would not recommend to friends when there is so much choice available…

Fantastic Host in Mark supported by Loz and Nathan in the kitchen. Cracking evening and fantastic food with Steak on the Stone.

Great spot for a drink! Views outside are lovely but it’s equally as pleasant inside. Staff are friendly and we were made to feel welcome.

Excellent food and manager or bar man very friendly and welcomed us we were a group of 5 from a hen do from poole he even let us go up on terrace to have shots .

Excellent food and really friendly staff. We came over for the day from southampton and walked by this place after a look around the shops and all of our meals were delicious

I don't normally do reviews, but felt I had to give a good review after our visit yesterday. We went for the fish and chip lunch prior to catching the ferry. Probably the best fish and chip lunch ever. Crispy batter, white flakey cod, and crisp chips. Quick attentive service.Lovely. I was so impressed with the disabled loo.....or less able as they termed it. I am on crutches at the moment and have had some bad experiences with disabled loos. This one was ultra clean, modern, and just right. Thank you.

Went for lunch with my wife and some friends. A board outside advertised a small Fish and Chips with a drink included. The standard menu items were also available. All of us decided to have the fish and chips special, and we all raved about it. The chips were nice and crispy (no sign of oil anywhere), and the batter on the fish was done to the same high standard. We did however feel that the peas were pureed, rather than mushy. For an inexpensive meal, this was excellent.

We went to celebrate our daughter’s, The service was really friendly and efficient, however the food was lacking flavour and choice for vegans.. it is really pricey for what you get. A vegan hallumi on a lava stone (3 smal pieces) which stuck to the stone and had the consistency of cream cheese.

The food is not great , scampi & chips was a dreadful let down ( 5 very small pieces of scampi sat on a plates of frozen chips ) the beetroot burger was bland and presented with frozen chips , unfulfilling and sloppy really do not recommend the food

Lovely friendly welcome which matched the atmosphere of the upper stairs restaurant. Affordable menu equals quality food. Smiling waitress staff. Would highly recommend this establishment.

Great service and excellent food cooked to your own preferences on laver rock. The view of the harbour just to finish very nice would definitely recommend and the decor is really nice.

We held a customer event at The Globe. All the team we're super friendly, helpful and attentive. The whole day went without a hitch and all our team and customers had a great time. The day was very well planned and organised and I would thoroughly using this venue for any event. The food offering was great and the drinks we're well priced with a good selection.

Nice spot for lunch. Burgers were amazing especially the Beetroot burger. Nice pub, dog friendly too.

Warm welcome , Really Good Food , Ok it's not hard to mess up on basic grub but what we got was great quality , large portions which is always a winner when paying crazy prices at the moment. Fish & Chips with a small drink for £12 wac well worth it for those on a lighter bite belly.

Love Cowes. Hadnt been to The Globe before but were greeted by lovely polite friendly staff. We were worried as a family we only saw couples or younger persons but it was very welcoming indoors. Good price and excellent food with good portions for chips etc. All in all good experience will return on our next holiday. Thankyou.

Popular with holidaymaker , good fish and chips , friendly staff , great location on the edge of the waterfront , they have a roof Terrace which is stunning with comfortable seating tables and garden umbrellas and amazing views over the Solent.

Excellent staff ! Food is delicious ! Good views and doggi friendly!! One of the best salads ive had ! Really tasty decent quality food the other half always had the crab mayo chips and im bot a fan of chips but these are a delight !! A must visit !

Booked for lunch with my sisters & their partners, the menu had an array of great choices. I had seen their Instagram post & the roast looked amazing! We all had roasts with cauli cheese. We had the choice of a small/large roast, £12/£18. The beef was like butter, everything so flavoursome! Defiantly a best roast contender! Will defiantly be back to try other dishes.

We dropped in on the off chance of a table and they were very accommodating. We decided to go upstairs to the ‘hot rocks’ restaurant. We had rump steak and scallops which we cooked on the hot rock. It was absolutely delicious. There were sides of fries and salad and plenty more to choose from if you wished. Both the service snd food were amazing and we can’t wait to go back.

Bit disappointed in the food, although the novelty of steak on hot rocks was good, the most disappointing thing was the £12 paid for a pawn star martini cocktail, that arrived with no half of passion fruit floating on top and no shot of Prosecco...

On an extremely wet Sunday in Cowes shrouded in mist, we were a couple soaked to the skin after delivering Christmas cards accompanied by a sodden dog. We chanced upon The Globe and what a beacon of warmth and hospitality it proved to be! Welcoming...

My wife and I met some friends here for a drink and lunch. We have lived on the island 9 years and never visited the place as always thought it would be expensive because of the location and setting. Couldn't be further from the truth!...

Only spent about 20 minutes here while waiting for the ferry but it seemed lovely. Very nicely decorated, friendly staff, board games available, free wifi, nice view, the list goes on. Will be back when we have more time.

Booked a table for 16 on the roof terrace in May for Cowes Week Fireworks night in August. It is the ***BEST*** place to see the Red Arrows and the Fireworks AND to have a great, relaxed meal away from the madding crowd. I'm amazed...

Lovely views, food was ok but my steak was over cooked and my daughter (6 years old) found the burger far too peppery, we all tried it but all said it was far too peppery. Otherwise a beautiful place and good food. 2 out of 9 weren't good but the rest great.

With lots of screens, this is the best place to watch the football in Cowes. With special offers often found on drinks and food the prices are very reasonable (often 50% off food on a Monday).

Sunday afternoon lunch for four, not booked but quick service and very nice food. Staff friendly and efficient, we would visit here again if in the area as they have regular live music too.

We came here for lunch and to watch one of the World Cup matches. As it was not England playing and 3pm on a Monday, it wasn’t too crowded. The staff was very nice and the seating was comfortable. The food, however, was not great. My partner had the burger with pulled pork and slaw, and I had the fish and chips. Both were our second choices as they were out of our first choices, the smoked turkey leg and seafood chowder. We paid extra to have cheese on the chips. The cheese sauce wasn’t great and there wasn’t a lot of it. The rest of it was average at best. Bottom line - good place to have a pint and watch the game, but eat somewhere else.

Went over to sort out a celebration so divided to try out lunch and glad I did . Firstly the staff were very helpful and friendly. The beers were great especially The Island Pride brewed by Goddards on the Island. The burger with mushrooms and blue cheese was great.They have got it right . I am looking forward to going back.

We were lucky to have this great place recommended to us by the local flower shop. It’s great that all the businesses in Cowes support each other as a great business community. We were able to sit upstairs on the balcony overlooking a stunning view while my partner was able to watch the England football match. They have a great little Carvery with a choice of 3 different meats, veggies, home made roast potatoes, home made Yorkshire puddings, stuffing and cauliflower cheese. They were able to do me a gluten free meal with homemade gravy which tasted amazing! They also cater for kids and offer vegan and vegetarian. The staff despite being busy were all polite and helpful. They also offer a fully extensive menu if a roast isn’t for you including salads, wraps, sandwiches and pub grub. I would have taken some photos of my food but it was so delicious I ate it before I thought about it! There’s also free WiFi. This pub has everything you need and more for a relaxing afternoon watching sport or the world go by!

We are on holiday on the Isle of Wight with our friends who live there. Needing something to eat at lunch time, we went to The Globe. Our friends had eaten there before and we soon found a clean outdoor table with an excellent view of water traffic in front of us. We ordered drinks and meals from the lad behind the bar, who was rushed off his feet as he seemed to be on his own.However it was busy,and he coped very well. We sat in the sun and our food was quickly delivered. Having checked that we had all requirements the waiter went inside. The food was delicious, hot, good portions and on warmed plates. Too full for pudding, the total cost including drinks was below £37 which given the quality of the food for 4 people I thought to be very good. Congratulations to The Globe!

Popped in for lunch as thought it looked a nice place to sit and eat out the front in the sun. Walked into the bar to be greeted by a very miserable and rude bar maid. Ordered some drinks which were served in dirty glasses! Asked for the menu and then noticed just how dirty the place was. Decided not to eat and cancelled our order!

We popped in on Sunday for a late lunch after playing for an event on the parade. I had the Vege option - freshly made mushroom stroganoff and it was the best I'd had. Extra bonus of the carvery items with it too (though didn't really need to as the meal was plenty big enough on its own!). Glad I didn't miss out on the delicious cauliflower cheese! My other half had a proper meat dinner and again lovely food and generous portions. Great place to eat, friendly staff, good live music, great views and reasonably priced.

Decided to try the new Sunday carvery that was recently advertised. Easily one of the best I've had! Fresh food that didn't taste like it has been sat there for ages, generous portions and friendly staff to go with it! Would recommend :)

Cold, soulless place. Drinks ridiculously expensive. £3.60 for a pint of coke that tasted like supermarket savers stuff. Yuk! Dirty windows and smelly! Don’t waste your time.

The Globe, with its superb seafront location and just around the corner from its much-loved sister pub, The Union Inn, has just begun a Sunday carvery so myself together with two friends decided to give it a go.

We had a great evening watching football. The bar has a great atmosphere, the staff where great and food was good too. The location is on Cowes sea front with parking outside.

Crying shame. Freezing cold bar in a great location with soulless staff. Please, please make it nicer even in the winter months.

Went last night to watch football. Only place I could find wth Sky Sports! Not too bad a place. Food was alright, typical pub food I'd say. Average on price.

This place certainly has a lot to offer, its on the seafront with great views of the boats entering and leaving the harbour. It has large screen TVs showing Football, Rugby and Cricket. We ordered the burgers and they were delicious as were the ales. The service was friendly and attentive.

Three out of the four dishes were acceptable. My breakfast was not up to par; the black pudding was just omitted from the plate and when I enquired I was told they'd run out. Surely this should have been relayed to me and a credit given on the breakfast because of this ?

Not a bad venue now to watch football but we only stay for the match due to the extortionate drinks' prices - must be the most expensive in Cowes per pint.

A fantastic huge screen with plenty of space to sit and eat and watch the match. Excellent food, particularly the Veggie feast and fish of the day (Hake). Great venue to see Chelsea kick start their season against last seasons main rivals.

My friend and I visited Cowes at the start of Cowes Week for the day. We chose this place because it was on the seafront and had outside seating. My friend had the fish dish of the day (Hake) which she said was delicious. I, on the other hand, didn't read the menu properly and chose steak with half rib, chips and salad. It was under the heading "Combos and Feasts". A feast it most certainly was! I just stared at the plate for about 5 minutes, not knowing what to do with the amount of food on my plate. The "half rib" was simply enormous and there was no way I could eat it. I had to ask for a "doggy bag" and brought it home. I even struggled with the 5oz rump steak and there was so many chips with just a little bit of salad. If you are starving, this is the dish for you but for me, on the day, it was simply too much. The serving staff were very attentive and brought me two containers so I could cut the ribs in half and fill each box. We did enjoy a nice bottle of rose in the sunshine. Would recommend but do choose carefully!

Our final day of our holiday ended in Cowes before getting the ferry back. A 9pm crossing left us with time to kill and the opportunity for something to eat before heading home.

Stopped in here for some food and to watch Grand Prix and will certainly be back! Food was delicious and menu varied. Comfortable seating and thoroughly enjoyed our experience, thanks to Molly who looked after us. Will defo be back!!

We popped in and had potato skins and pigs in blankets from the snack menu, both deep fried. Not nice, no need.

I visited the Globe in May and now again today and Melanie the bar manager was helpful and friendly. I'm sure a great view in the evening. Food was great and will return again😀

Assitant Manager. Assistant Killjoy. Had a fun and relaxed atmosphere the night before and then Jobsworth spoilt it. Was happy hour but oh no we had to play by the rules. "One can only have fun with rules". Suggestion...If you let people roll first they would order more and you'd sell higher value product. Mathematical logic and only difference is timing. Great staff Monday and then avoid assistant manager Captain Fun on Tuesday.

Het eten was er op zich prima, ik had een kleine lunch, Chicken wrap. Niet bijzonder maar wel goed bereid en smaakvol. De aardappel salade was vers en erg lekker. Maar het is raar dat je zelf een menu kaart moet pakken, terug naar je tafel, terug naar de kassa om te bestellen en direct te betalen. Dat weerhield ons ervan om na het eten nog een espresso oid te bestellen.

A change of scenery for the night, saw me dine with the chance to watch the Americas cup on the big screen.

Stopped to have lunch. Had mac and cheese which was fantastic. I will come back for this alone. Friendly service, good views.

We only stopped here for coffee, and we sat outside overlooking the harbour, but the service was very prompt and very friendly, and the prices were fair. If we visit Cowes again I'd re-visit, as it all seemed perfectly okay!

The Globe has fantastic views over Cowes harbour and the Solent, but seems a little confused. The sports bar downstairs has a good selection of drinks, with plenty of big screens showing Sky and BT Sports. Upstairs is a restaurant, with table cloths and proper (not paper) napkins - rather strange when it serves mostly finger food, including burger in a bag.

Have visited this newly re-branded bar twice in recent days and, unfortunately, was left very disappointed on both occasions.

We went to the Globe for a family afternoon out. Perfect location and a venue we wish to continue to support. However it's evident much needs to to improve here. Largely in service. Having been here when the venue was a restaurant and bar, now diversifying to a sports bar, it's noticeable the service has diminished. Started with a very limited selection of beers which we were surprised to see. Our experience probably wasn't enhanced by what we can only assume a senior member of staff (possibly a French lady) mimicking my sister's accent asked for direction to the ladies!! Just to inform the staff, you can be heard!! Would have spent the remainder of the day here if it wasn't for the lack lustre service and options.

We came here to watch a rugby match - there are three large screens. The staff were friendly and helped us with chairs - we didn't realise that you can book seating in advance and a lot of the best seats were reserved for the match. Good location overlooking the water and plenty of parking nearby. Would not recommend the cocktails but all other drinks were fine and cheerful staff.

I finally got around to visit the latest opening for this venue. What can I say a great transformation, the set up is fantastic having several screens and a pool table to choose from. I must say also on the occasion I visited the barmaid Mel did wonders in very trying circumstances.!To put it in the politest possible way she had a large group of very trying customers and delt with them superbly even though they were totally out of order. She was warm and welcoming to everyone and the customer service throughout was fantastic the way she dealt with every other customer that came into the pub was fantastic. She's a credit to your company.

I booked Christmas lunch for myself, my husband and our 20 year-old daughter. Booking was very straightforward, we had to make our choices and pay a £30 deposit, all arranged by a very pleasant young lady.

My husband treated me to an afternoon cream tea and the delicate homemade selection of sweet treats were delicious - best brownie and mini lemon meringue tart. Fresh fruit scones with cream and jam were warm and crumbly. The sandwich selection was good bar the mackerel - a tad unusual and not to our palette. Maybe next time a bit of smoked salmon? The Teapot Cocktail is an inspired offering giving a new twist to an old favourite. I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of decadence drinking Gin Fizz out of a tea cup at 4 in the afternoon!

Had a great time at the fine dining restaurant upstairs Saturday night. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was very tasty. We had 3 courses. The cheese ball starter was yummy (had a better name on the menu) plus the steak was one of the best I've eaten in Cowes.

Used to visit here when this was the original Globe. Like the new look, friendly welcome and great selection of drinks. How lovely too that dogs are allowed in, Patch was more than ready for a rest after his walk and made himself very comfortable.

Stopped off for a pint of landlord and it was off. Landlord is an amazing beer and it's not cheap so it's a shame to abuse it. If you can't keep it fresh don't put it on.

A restaurant on Cowes seafront offering a 'steak night deal' was to good to miss. This venue is one of our favourite daytime locations to sit and watch the world go by with a coffee or beer. The lunchtime menu is varied and delicious so we had high hopes of our 'steak night' offering and we were not disappointed.

With it's "Holywood Style" lights this place stands out on the sea-wall as you enter Cowes on the Red Jet (or your own boat if you are lucky enough). The interior is attractive and classy with an inviting central bar as you walk through the door. The staff we encountered were all friendly but professional. We had a light lunch, both meals were served promptly and enjoyed just as quickly. Food & drinks all seemed reasonably to me <£10 for a beer & glass of Prosseco.

We as a group of Friends love good food & good Music , When we can combine them with great service we are ecstatic !!!

The Globe is in a perfect position on Cowes Parade with beautiful views over the harbor from the roof terrace.

It was the Friday afternoon/evening of Cowes week which didn't help us. Initially we wanted food but due to its popularity, apart from burgers there was nothing else on the menu that we would have eaten. Others had them, and they did look good. Just not for us today.

Sat outside and enjoyed a drink. Prices weren't cheap but the views are incredible out across the water. The place is well designed and had a nice atmosphere. Service was ok and friendly.

We went here for breakfast with our children. There isn't a great deal of choice but they do pancakes which pleased our kids as it is hard to find them on breakfast menus. The pancakes were very yummy. I had the cooked breakfast which was very nice and the sausages were excellent quality. The only criticism is that I would of liked more mushrooms as I only had one medium/large one.

The setting of this restaurant / bar is perfect, on the parade front in Cowes . The restaurant is on the 2nd floor with huge patio doors leading to a baloney for you to have stunning views of the sunset over the sea. The Top floor is an amazing roof cocktail bar ! wonderful ! Sadly the food and menu choice did not do the venue justice. It was a small menu and the food although presented beautifully did not live up to expectations . The service was adequate and although the waitress was friendly, there was not the smooth polish or grace of a fine dinning restaurant. The meal was expensive and I felt the whole dining experience to be some what disappointing .

We popped in for lunch without booking, on a lovely late summers day and were told that as the verandah was booked on the first floor that we could have a table on the roof top terrace. After ordering drinks, it became clear that it was going to be a bit windy as the menus started to blow about but the barman on the terrace relocated us downstairs again to the first floor restaurant without any problem. This is a lovely room with a very 'New England' maritime feel to it. Oak floorboards and light and airy, it really is a lovely room to take lunch in, especially with the verandah windows wide open, providing fantastic views across the solent. Our food came very promptly and was fresh, tasty and well presented. The dressed crab salad was a little bit more 'nouveau cuisine' and less substantial than I would have preferred but this was a minor observation on an otherwise lovely lunch. My wife had a ciabatta sandwich of smoke mackerel, cream cheese and lime and my daughter had the roasted vegetable and goats cheese salad. All tasty, fresh and not too overpriced. I washed mine down with a very acceptable, ice cold Pinot Grigio. All in all, great service, lovely fresh, tasty food and good value. Will definitely call in again.

Family evening meal. Excellent food superbly prepared. Portions not huge but they shouldn't be when savouring excellent quisine. Decent beer selection. Attentive and very professional staff. Super sea views. Our children loved watching the ferries arriving and departing. Excellent children's menu, as well prepared as the a la carte. They even accommodated our dog.

Went to the Globe for lunch on the bank holiday weekend.
