The Globe provides a permanent home for Jazz.Coop Newcastle and is the first bar/music venue in the UK to be owned freehold by a cooperative. The venue hosts a wide variety of music including jazz, folk, blues, indie, roots and acoustic. One of the most unusual bars in the city, The Globe reopened in 2014 with a new tenant, a fresh look and longer opening hours. With bright music-styled décor, an excellent sound system, a wide selection of draught and bottled beers, fine wines and rare spirits, The Globe – situated on Railway Street – is a cool and relaxing hangout on the edge of the frantic city centre. Once a typical Victorian corner pub, The Globe hit the headlines in 2014 when it was bought by a co-operative, Jazz.Coop, following a successful community share issue. It was the first late bar and music venue in the UK to be owned freehold by a co-operative. For the first 18 months, former tenants of the Globe ran a nightclub on the ground floor while the co-op put on jazz on the first floor. Under the new arrangements, Jazz.Coop and the new tenant are working closely together to make The Globe the best small live music venue in Newcastle. The new tenant is the appropriately named Rhythm ‘n’ Booze Ltd, led by director Lee Baby Sims, a popular DJ, creative designer and entrepreneur. The bar manager is Karl Parkin who has run the Fox & Hounds in Wylam and the Wheatsheaf in Felling. The Globe is open from 5pm till late, seven days a week. There’s live music most nights, including jazz, folk and indie, as well as DJ and club nights. If you appreciate good music, good beer and good vibes, The Globe should be your kind of place.
