The Globe is an Irish pub on East 23rd Street in Manhattan that hosts private events of 100 to 400 guests, seven days a week. It has three named spaces: the Front Bar for 140, the Back Bar for 200 and the Sidebar for 110. Company happy hours, group dinners and corporate events are all on its list.
Seminars and company events
The Globe lists corporate events and corporate happy hours among the occasions it hosts, along with group dinners, birthday parties, bridal showers and baby showers. The private events page says that DJs, a PA system and full party catering are available. Spaces can be booked Monday through Sunday, which helps when a team needs a weekday evening or a weekend date.
The enquiry form asks for a company name, a desired space, a date, and a start and end time, so a business request is handled as a standard case. It is a bar, not a conference venue: there is no meeting room or plenary hall on the site, and the format suits receptions, after-work gatherings and standing events.
Rooms and capacities
The Globe Front Bar holds up to 140 guests. The venue describes it as suited to a few drinks at the end of the day or a corporate happy hour.
The Globe Back Bar holds up to 200 guests. It is presented for a semi-private or a fully private event, and it is the largest of the three named rooms.
The Sidebar holds up to 110 guests. The venue describes it as technically your own private bar, and the music can be controlled from an iPhone connection. This makes it the most controllable option for a group that wants its own playlist.
For groups above 200, the venue states that it can accommodate private events from 100 people up to 400. It does not say which combination of spaces reaches that figure, so ask the team how the rooms are combined or whether the whole venue is taken.
Catering
Full party catering is available for events, and the venue publishes a platter menu that you can open from the private events page. Drinks come from the bar. The Globe also runs a regular food and cocktail menu, which the site presents as good food, cocktails and fun under a disco ball. Specify at the enquiry stage whether you want platters on tables, a standing reception or a group dinner.
History and setting

Its website presents it as an Irish pub with a disco ball, a regular program of happenings and a full menu. The setting is a working bar, so what you book is the atmosphere of a lively pub rather than a neutral hall.
