About Canon

Canon is a highly regarded bar known for its exceptional cocktails and extensive whiskey selection. The attentive service and pleasant, intimate atmosphere create a memorable experience. The menu offers an impressive range of vegetarian options, as well as accommodations for pescatarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free diets. Standout dishes include charcuterie, housemade amaro, pork belly buns, and rabbit taquitos, while the dessert selection has received mixed reviews.

Customers have praised the attention to detail, the impressive whiskey selection, and the skilled bartenders who put on a true performance when crafting the cocktails. The artistic presentation of the drinks and the cozy, old pub-like atmosphere are often highlighted as highlights of the experience. Recently, the space was renovated, giving it a fresh feel while maintaining its vibey charm. Many visitors feel it’s a place to slow down and savor the experience, whether for bold flavors, theatrical cocktails, or a memorable night out. The staff, including bartenders like Brandon and Joshua, are known for being friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

The drinks are not just cocktails — they’re performances. Examples include the Lawn Boy, a tropical, refreshing drink with papaya and passionfruit; the Cocktail Pho-natic, a playful nod to pho with spices and Szechuan kick; the Campfire in Georgia, with mezcal, peach, and applewood smoke that tastes like a fireside evening; and the classic Angel Face. Each is crafted with incredible attention to detail and stunning presentation. The food complements the drinks well, with options like rich, indulgent charcuterie and flavorful tofu buns that balance the stronger cocktails. Overall, Canon remains a top destination for those seeking bold flavors, artistic drinks, and a special night out in Seattle.
