The Globe Pub

I've never been into soccer (or football, depending on what country you're from), but I went with Mike and Stephane early Saturday morning to watch the Arsenal vs. Fulham game at The Globe Pub.

Mike is a HUGE Arsenal fan having just been to the UK for a game the weekend prior. I wasn't as into as most of the people there seeing as it was my first time and I don't have a specific team to root for. I can't say that I 100% know what is going on during the games either because I don't know all the rules, but I definitely enjoyed myself while at the pub and would be happy to go back anytime.

It was a completely different position for me to be in, considering I never go to bars/pubs. My only experience with bars/pubs has been loud, dirty, dark, hot, and overcrowded with over-drunk people. This place was nice and clean, well lit, and comfortably filled with proud fans. Granted we went there at 9:00am which I know is probably the complete opposite had we gone at 9:00pm. They had a pretty good breakfast too. The Eggs Florentine were delicious. I think the trick for me to have a good time at a bar is to go early in the morning and eat breakfast.
