The Globe Covington

Have been wanting to check out the Globe for quite some time. Popped in this evening after dinner for a cocktail. We were the only ones in the bar, but I was impressed the second I walked in! This is a bar off the main paths in Covington. It's clean, plenty of space and many drink choices to choose from. They also have a nice little patio out back. Bartender was nice and also introduced us to "The B line." A passport series for bourbon lovers here in Northern KY. I highly recommend stopping in here next time you are in Covington and looking for a nice cocktail!

Nice place for a drink and conversation-great bartenders that know what they're doing

Nice cozy spot for drinks off of the beaten path. Came for happy hour Wednesday, which is $2 off cocktails ALL DAY. Most of their drinks are made with bourbon, but you can always request something else! They also have a frozen margarita and frozen bourbon slush machine. Drinks were strong and delicious, and they have ample amount of seating inside. Definitely worth checking out.

This trendy bar used to be a strip club. Now it's a beautiful bar that has lots of bourbon fragrant wine and lots of speciality cocktails. Has a very light snack menu which includes meats cheeses hummus and chips. Last night was carols and cocktails. We sang our favorites while sipping our beverage of choice

Kudos to the Globe for curating a super diverse cocktail menu that truly has something for everyone. I am so freaking sick of bourbon taking over a THIRD of the cocktail list. This menu boasts everything from gin and vodka, to locally made rum and even mezcal. I've included it below so you can see for yourself. I had the sage before beauty -- $9Bombay Dry Gin, Pear, Lemon, Demerara, Sage, and it was really beautiful. It was light and refreshing and a nose FULL of aromatics which is exactly what I wanted based on the description. The bartenders here know what they are doing and based on my delightful surprise he let me know they go through hours of training and are constantly refining and switching things up. I'll be honest though, the atmosphere was kind of dead with just a few locals hamming it up at the bar. It's not my favorite layout either. It looks a bit like it's having an identity crisis and probably so, to be laid back enough to fit into Covington, but classy enough to match the level of quality in the cocktails. Overall a MUCH needed addition the neighborhood, and a breath of fresh air.FULL COCKTAIL MENU: HAPPY DAYS $9Watershed Vodka, Crème de Mure, Lemon, Red Apple, Salt AVIATION $10Aviation Gin, Luxardo Maraschino, Crème de Violette, Lemon SAGE BEFORE BEAUTY $9Bombay Dry Gin, Pear, Lemon, Demerara, SageVENUS $8Cappalletti, Lemon, Honey, Orange Blossom Water, Prosecco EL DIABLO $9Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila, Crème de Mure, Lime, Cayenne, Ginger Beer SMOKING SHOGUN $9Fidencio Mezcal, Hannya Sake, Lime, Plum Bitters PINK MUSTANG $9Second Sight Rum, Pineapple, Lime, Orgeat, Peychaud's Bitters PISCO SOUR $9Alto del Carmen Pisco, Lemon, Demerara, Egg White KENTUCKY PIMM'S CUP $8Pimm's No. 1, Ale 8-1 Ginger Ale, Fresh Fruit, Cucumber, Mint BOURBON MARGARITA $10Bulleit, Cointreau, Agave, Lime, Pickle Brine PAPER PLANE $10Bulleit Rye, Aperol, Amaro Melletti, Lemon 5th ST MANHATTAN $12Woodford Double Oaked, Dolin Sweet Vermouth, Amaro Melletti, Black Walnut Bitters

Loved The Globe. Interesting history on the walls about the name and location. Make sure to ask. Lovely conversation pits for groups. Well stocked bar with lots of options. Just right for a good time and a good cocktail. Will keep it on my list for first date meet and greet spots!

Hands down one of my favorite cocktails place.Like a lot of people have commented, it is a very calm and relaxed place. It is perfect for a cute date or a small group, kind require small talks otherwise it could get a little awkward. Its like a coffee shop almost, but with great cocktails.The bartenders there are amazing. Great people to chat with, one of the main reasons I love that place. They are there to create cocktails, share stories and leave you to it when it is the right time.The other part, of course, it is the cocktails. Each one of them is well thought out, full of creativity, cant go wrong with any of them. Or you can ask them to make something for you based on what you like and they always come on top.Probably not gonna be your Friday night lit bar, but I think it is a hidden gem. Definitely worth a visit.

Good cocktail bar with lots of seating for large or small groups to just chill out with a few drinks. The inside is relaxed and not very loud, so if you like that this is the place for you. The cocktail list was very interesting...Everyone I talked to seemed to like what they ordered. They also have board games for you to borrow so you can spend a few hours here. They serve snacks, but we didn't get to try anything. Overall, I'm a fan.

What a wonderful atmosphere!Original Music! Soft lighting. It relaxed us as soon as we hit the door. We need to chill after a long stressful week. Thank you

A hidden gem. Best dirty martini around and the rotating menu is always delicious. Can't go wrong with flat bread!
