It was mainly similar to the modern day equivalent, but it was much more pungent and people would use it as a meeting place to see each other. Businesses would thrive in the busy groundling area, and it was basically a mini-market place. Shakespeare would repeat important parts of the playline, so that the audience would know what was happening in they had missed the first announcement of that part of the plot. People would mill about chatting, and sometimes not really pay any attention to the play at all.

In the upper rings of the globe, the richer people would be more apart from the normal crowd, so they would have seats and probably pay more attention to the actors. However, if the groundlings didn't agree with a particular part of the story, they would start shouting and jeering and even throw rotten food at the poor actors. Pickpockets thrived on the unaware groundlings.

What was Shakepeare's globe like in the 16th century?

It was quite similar to the Globe nowadays. The main difference would be the smell. People didn't bathe and there were no bathrooms in the theatre. When added to the smell of the open sewers, chemical smells from tanneries and the ungodly stink of the shambles, it must have been eye-watering.
