Drift Inn

Small old time bar with history well worth a vist if in the globe area.

The Drift Inn has some history, cold beer and decent food.

The Rabogliatti Family sailed from Italy and settled in Globe, AZ shortly after the turn of the 20th century. They began to live the American dream by constructing a 6000 square foot building which was an outstanding structure on Broad Street.

The building was divided into three separate businesses. The Club House Café, the notorious International Saloon, and the Western Cash. It was the "International Rooms" that was a prosperous brothel.

After the famous gun fight in Tombstone, AZ at the O.K. Corral, October 26, 1881, the Earp's packed up and moved on to California. The Gal that loved Lawman Doc Holliday and everyone else, Big Nose Kate moved to Globe Arizona and opened a boarding house for miners in the International Rooms. Mattie Earp worked with Kate for a short time at the Globe bawdy house.

They say the upstairs of the building is quite active with ghosts. Both men and "the ladies" have been seen up there in the back hallway. A cowboy spectre roams in silence as if searching for someone. The legend says a jealous early day cowboy came looking for his girl upstairs in one of the rooms of the International where he maliciously shot and killed her.

Our new favorite dive bar. Talk about great food and cheap beer! We had dinner tonight. My hubby got the fish & chips. And they were actual chips! Sliced potatoes, fried and oh so delicious! My cheese burger was pretty darn good too.

They have mini pitchers of beer. We each get a glass and a half of beer out of it. And it's only $5 with filled with Blue Moon. Oh yeah!

We have met the owners too. Very nice people!

We've been in two other times just for beer and we've had three different  bartenders. All of them were on top of things and very friendly.

Last night they had a band named Greywolf that aw really good! Sounds like they have something going on there every night.

If your passing thru Globe, be sure to go thru the "historic" downtown and stop by the Drift Inn.
