The Globe

Drove out to Athens, from Atlanta, for a spontaneous day-trip... and sort of our own little pub crawl ensued.  The Globe was our first stop in town!

It was beautiful day, so we opted for the little two-table patio out front.

Walked inside to let them know we'd be sitting out there and the response was, "No problem.  We're pretty busy, though... so you might wanna come inside to do all of your ordering."

Um... okay.  We could see the whole place... and I guess we just have a different opinion of "pretty busy."  I guess she meant the 8 people sitting and shouting at some soccer match on TV?

Silly us, we decided to stay anyway...

We took some menus and walked ourselves outside (yeah... "too busy" even to bring us out to a table) to look them over; the beer selection was pretty decent, so we decided on a couple...... and my wife went back in to order them.

10 minutes later... no beer.

She went back in and the beers were just sitting on the bar rails.  Nice.  "Too busy" to even bring them out to us!

We knocked back our beers... still enjoying the weather and the people watching... left as exact change as possible (tip?  yeah right...)... and walked to the next spot on our list.

There are a TON of GREAT places, in Athens, for a pint and some grub.  Don't waste your time heading somewhere customers aren't appreciated (at least when there's a soccer match on TV)...

I love this place for happy hour on fridays. Great drink selection, Friendly Staff, and best people watching place in town...

This place is uhhhh-mazing for brunch. They have $5 mimosa or bloody mary special, as well as a banging vegetarian burger. I ordered the BOCA burger which is actually really, really tasty. Prices are also very reasonable. My entree was just $5 and I think my boyfriends was $6 or $7 for a pretty large portion. Not too shabby.

We sat outside which is a decent place for people watching. Our server was outstanding. He came and left at all the right times. He also got my order spot on, alterations and all without a pen and paper. Impressive! We'll be dining here soon!
