Maritime Echoes in a Modern Pub
The One O'Clock Gun stands as a tribute to Liverpool's seafaring past, its name drawn from the iconic cannon fired daily from 1867 to 1969 to synchronize ship chronometers across the Mersey. Located in the Britannia Pavilion at Royal Albert Dock, this pub blends that historic resonance with contemporary flair, offering a welcoming spot amid the dock's cobbled quays and cast-iron architecture designed by Jesse Hartley in 1846. Surrounded by the dock's warehouses, now housing world-class museums like the Merseyside Maritime Museum and Tate Liverpool, the pub captures the essence of Liverpool's transformation from industrial powerhouse to cultural hub. Patrons sip drinks while gazing at the shimmering Mersey, feeling the pulse of a city that once dominated transatlantic trade.Culinary Anchor with Local Flavors
The menu anchors classic British pub fare with a nod to regional tastes: think fish and chips sourced from sustainable Mersey catches, gourmet burgers, and hearty pies paired with local ales. Craft cocktails and a rotating selection of guest beers keep things fresh, while weekend brunches draw crowds for full English breakfasts and bubbly mimosas overlooking the water. Seasonal specials highlight Liverpool's food scene, from Scouse stew—a traditional lamb and beef dish—to innovative small plates that fuse global influences brought by the city's immigrant communities. The bar's extensive gin flight pays homage to the dock's rum-running history, making every visit a flavorful journey.Riverside Vibes and Dockside Buzz
Inside, exposed brick and nautical decor create an industrial-chic haven, with large windows framing views of ferries crossing to Birkenhead and the Liver Birds perched on the skyline. Outdoor seating on the pavilion terrace buzzes in summer, alive with laughter from tourists fresh from Beatles tours and locals catching evening sunsets. The pub's position in one of Europe's busiest waterfronts means a constant hum of activity—street performers, museum-goers, and festival crowds spill over, especially during events like the Tall Ships Race. It's a place where history feels tangible, from the dock's WWII scars to its 1988 revival as a UNESCO-recognized heritage site.Evening Haven After Dark
As night falls, The One O'Clock Gun transforms into a lively nightspot, with DJ sets and live music echoing Liverpool's legendary music scene. Friday and Saturday extend to midnight, perfect for post-concert drinks after M&S Bank Arena shows or relaxed pints watching fireworks over the Mersey. The ambiance shifts from family-friendly afternoons to spirited evenings, where conversations flow as freely as the pints. It's more than a pub—it's a microcosm of Liverpool's resilient spirit, where old maritime tales mix with new stories forged by the waterfront's enduring allure.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
