Quick info
About The Globe
In a residential area of Swindon, The Globe is a pub at 29 Eastcott Rd that pairs darts and pool with a newer food addition called The Hatch. The Hatch gives the pub its own food alongside the games, so a visit can cover both a match and a meal. Guinness is served at the bar. Bags of crisps are available for anyone who wants a lighter bite with a drink.

“It's a proper pub. Come here if you want a drink, play darts, play pool, and have a bag of crisps. Welcoming staff, hassle free, straightforward place for a pint.”
- Carol Simmons
“Not what I expected. Felt more like a wine bar than a pub. Staff friendly though and toilets nice and clean”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the friendly staff and welcoming landlord at this local, describing a proper pub where a pint is straightforward and hassle free. Good beer comes up repeatedly, with one diner singling out a nice Guinness, and several mention a friendly atmosphere among the regulars. Darts, pool and a bag of crisps are named as the simple pleasures on offer, and one regular says the newly opened Hatch is serving great food and recommends a visit. A few see the place differently. One felt it was more like a wine bar than a pub, and another describes loud, disrespectful patrons in the beer garden of a residential area, saying the staff did nothing to quiet them down. A regular who runs a roofing company agrees that noise is to be expected next to a pub, but reports only a friendly landlord and attentive staff. One drinker whose first pint was here over fifty years ago notes the pub has changed, and a first-time visitor still left with friendly service and good beer.
