From start to finish, everything about this place was outstanding — the staff, the food, and the ambiance all come together to create something special. The service was warm and attentive without ever feeling intrusive. The team clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every interaction.

“Awesome place! Best dive in NJ“

“Went there for the first time tonight for my wife and son's birthday. The food and drinks were excellent and the service was great. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back!“

“Great atmosphere for sure. 3 different bars to choose from. Stopped by for a quick bite after a long day of travel because it was walking distance, but the food was just okay. The effort is definitely not there food wise, but it's my first trip to the Shore, so I can't really compare it to any other food spots. At $20 bucks a head for food, it's too expensive for what you get.“

“I had my daughter's baby shower here last week. I CANNOT say enough how accommodating and nice the staff were to work with. The food - Chef's 💋 !!! Our Server Janine and Tracey the Bartender went above and beyond. I truly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed!!!!!!“

“Just stopped by for Taco Tuesday but i will definitely be back to try more of this menu. Everything looked great and the waitress was so friendly and the energy of this place was amazing! I got this mix of regular and sweet potato fries with my tacos that were incredible. Great spot to enjoy some food with the upcoming warm weather!“

“Visiting from out of town and stopped by based on other reviews. This place did not disappoint! Great food and drinks. Bartenders and staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“The food and service were excellent. Don’t skip the grilled wings—they’re the best we’ve ever had! I had the blackened chicken Caesar wrap, and it was seasoned perfectly. Everything was fresh and super tasty. We regret not coming here sooner!“

“We split the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the kitchen sink fries, and it was ok. I guess it would be good bar food, but the fries weren't seasoned, so it was good with the sauce they put on, but when we got fries with the sandwich, the plain fries were unseasoned. We didnt really think this should be under "dive bar" so yea. Refers to food as nips and idk if it was the chicken tenders or just some other item used“

“Great spot! Great happy hour! Great wait staff! Kid friendly!“

“I went to see the Glenn Roberts Band on 2/1 as they are one of my favorite bands and they did not disappoint. They had the tiki bar kickin the dust up! Atmosphere was great, food was delicious and the music was pure perfection. It's a bit far for me but i will drive 50 minutes again to see Glenn Roberts Band“

“On an ordinary day, we go here for beers and a burger with cottage fries and always have the best time. I have to mention this weekend specifically though because we had our wedding after party here. The owner, Kevin, is truly one of the nicest people and always provides service with a genuine smile. He is courteous and made all of our family and friends feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our evening. Even in the busiest moments, Kevin and staff managed to be accommodating and attentive. Cannot say enough enough about this place, the family and the staff. Wonderful!“

“The Wonder Bar is magical - that is all!!! 🎶🦋☘️😇🍾🥂💐🏖️🌊“

“Step through the doors of The Globe and into a world where time slows, where laughter mingles with the hum of the game, and where the clink of a perfectly poured pint feels like a familiar embrace. Since 1840, this hallowed spot has anchored downtown Red Bank—not just a sports bar, but a living relic of camaraderie, tradition, and the simple pleasure of a burger and a beer.

Once an inn sheltering weary travelers, today it shelters the spirit of the town. The barstools tell stories, the taps flow with over 30 stellar brews—domestic and foreign alike—and the famed Globe Burger is a rite of passage for any local or visitor. And if you're in the know? The pork roll fries—golden, crisp, and utterly decadent—are a must.

Fifteen flat screens glow, capturing every play, every moment, while seasoned bartenders—some here for decades—pour with precision and warmth. Their tenure speaks volumes: a sign of a place run right, of ownership that cares, of a bar where you’re not just served—you’re known.

In a world that races ahead, chasing trends and fleeting fads, The Globe remains steadfast, a beacon of what a bar should be. No pretense, no gimmicks—just good company, great drinks, and the kind of authenticity you can’t manufacture. Pull up a seat, order a Guinness (poured to perfection), and soak it in. Some places fade. The Globe endures.“

“Great atmosphere, wait on the weekend is over an hour but you can sit in their colorful Adirondack chairs and order drinks and apps while your waiting.“

“We were there last night. Chris the bartender was great and so was Johnny, the cook! The place looks great and we will definitely be back!“

“The food that I ordered was amazing but idk about the pizza. My tuna wrap however was delicious like in the photo. Good place to eat if you are picky as it has SO many food options. Staff were OK but didnt really put all their effort into helping.“

“great place to hangout by the beach 🏖🏖🍹🍹, always have a Great DJ on weekends!“
