Southampton. Established in 1873 although it is quite likely there was a pub on this site before that date. Situated against the historic town wall (there is part of it visible behind glass in the pub) it is named for a Napoleonic era gun platform outside God's House which contained a gun battery for ceremonial purposes. Like many taverns of its day it brewed its own ale on site and catered to dockworkers and seaman who frequented the establishment. It also provided lodging upstairs, including to James McGrady, a Steward First Class who perished aboard the Titanic (his was the last body recovered from the sea six weeks after the disaster) and the pub is featured in the movie. The pub suffered significant damage during the blitz in 1940 and was reopened in 1954. Inside there are rooms on either side of the bar area and features a tented ceiling, batik panels, and African art. I enjoyed a Barton Session Bitter from Steam Town Brew Co. in Eastleigh (north of Southampton), made with Maris Otter malts and UK hops. A light brown bitter with slight toffee notes, it was quite tasty.
