A quirky atmosphere and super-friendly staff are among the reasons The Globe in St. Petersburg has endured for more than a decade, but its defining feature is that it’s just plain fun. Books, board games and free Wi-Fi are just the tip of an entertainment iceberg, which also includes frequent special events, live music, tarot readings and game nights. Try the vegetarian-friendly menu.

The fine folks of St. Pete Grand Gamers will be in tonight, so if you love board games, this is the place to be. Starts around 5, goes until 11 or midnight.
