Globe Hall is the kind of place you’d probably avoid if you didn’t know about the smokey food magic happening out back. Dingy walls, barred windows, torn-up barstools, wobbly tables, bad taxidermy... it’s pretty clear there isn’t much effort going into room staging here. We respect that. It’s honestly what you want from a good BBQ place, because it lets you know all the focus is on the right thing - the food. At GH, that’s absolutely the case. They have all the makings of a real Texas smokehouse, including a small-cabin-sized smoker (named Betty) on the patio out back, currently pushing out the best BBQ we’ve ever had in Denver. And the space is actually a 100-year-old Croatian dance hall, which is at least a cool historical fact. Brisket, pork, ribs, turkey, sausage, a few sides, and some pie make up the menu, and you can’t go wrong with any of the above - especially the ribs. These are honestly the best ribs in town. Tender, juicy meat that sticks to bone just enough to make the small amount of work you have to put in for each bite totally worth it. Add in the dance hall and live music they offer on the regular and we’re probably going to make GH our official summer headquarters. The only complaint we have is that they occasionally offer weekend yoga classes. We’re willing to give that a pass... as long as they let us grab some of those ribs during our warrior pose.
