Bertram, Texas · since 1935

A 1935 picture show. A honky-tonk every week.

Built from Marble Falls granite, saved from a roof collapse, and lit back up with the sign they found in a barn. Live country, Western swing and Texas songwriters, 45 miles northwest of Austin.

On the marquee

Coming up at the Globe.

Doors at 7, music at 8, unless it says otherwise. The first Wednesday of every month is Honky Tonk Wednesday, and it's always free.

Past shows drop off on their own, and a postponed show never sells a ticket.

Take your seat

See the stage from your seat.

About 244 seats on a sloped floor and a mezzanine, plus VIP tables for four right on the dance floor. Tap any seat to see the view; on a phone, swipe the plan sideways.

Since 1935

Ninety years on Vaughan Street.

Bertram built it themselves: a group of townspeople formed the Bertram Amusement Company and put up a picture show in the middle of the Depression.

1935

The "New Theatre" opens

August 20, to a packed house. Matinees were a dime, night shows a quarter.

$25

A name for it

On October 23, 1935, Roy Dycus won the naming contest with "The Globe Theatre."

1985

The last picture show

The projectors went quiet and the front got boarded up for more than twenty years.

2009

Bought, then roofless

New owners started the restoration. The roof collapsed, so they held concerts open to the stars.

Barn

The sign comes home

The original GLOBE sign turned up in an old barn outside town. It got new neon and kept its patina.

2015

Lights back on

Reopened November 27, 2015. The grand gala sold out two shows with Dale Watson in February 2016.

2021

The Jones family

Emily Ann and JesseLee Jones, the family behind Robert's Western World in Nashville, took over the Globe.

Now

A honky-tonk

A dance floor in front of the stage, VIP tables, and JesseLee & Brazilbilly's Honky Tonk Holiday every December.

Granite

The walls are red granite from Granite Mountain in Marble Falls: the same stone as the Texas State Capitol.

Rent the Globe

Your name on the marquee.

Weddings, screenings on the 9×16 screen, birthdays, reunions and film shoots. Type it in and see how it reads from across Vaughan Street.
