I thought Canon was just okay. Service was not great. We had to make an adjustment on our reservation from 3 people to 4 and the person on the phone was so rude. The server at canon barely checked in on us & drinks were ok.

My fiance and I went here for a few cocktails and had a wonderful time. Our bartender was Brandon and he was wonderful. The whole staff was very sweet and accommodating. Some cocktail bars give off the too good for you vibe and Canon does an amazing job of making it feel like a normal bar with amazing cocktails! Thanks for a wonderful evening!

Again great cocktails and food. New menu is heavy on Vege's and zero pasta.
Cozy upscale bar with great service and tasty wine!

Canon is truly a one-of-a-kind cocktail destination in Seattle. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’ve entered a temple of spirits, with an entire wall stacked high with rare bottles and a cozy, intimate atmosphere that makes every table feel special.
The drinks are not just cocktails — they’re performances. We tried the Lawn Boy (tropical and refreshing with papaya and passionfruit), the Cocktail Pho-natic (a playful nod to pho with spices and Szechuan kick), the Campfire in Georgia (mezcal, peach, and applewood smoke that tastes like a fireside evening), and the Angel Face (a beautiful classic). Each was crafted with incredible attention to detail and stunning presentation.
The food menu pairs perfectly with the cocktails — the bone marrow was rich and indulgent, while the tofu buns were soft, flavorful, and a perfect balance to the stronger drinks.
I also loved that they’ve recently renovated the space, giving it a fresh feel while keeping the intimate, vibey charm Canon is known for. It’s definitely a place that makes you slow down and savor the experience.
Whether you’re into bold flavors, theatrical cocktails, or just looking for one of Seattle’s most memorable nights out, Canon delivers it all.

The bar itself is indeed one of the best in the world. The interior is stunning and the menu is very thoughtfully put together. On the other hand, there is always a waiting line and even when you get inside, you have to stand to have a drink until a seat becomes available.

We came down to watch the Mariner's gsme, from Vancouver. Joshua served us and was superb. Knowledgeable and fun! Well worth coming by. Cocktails were fantastic and amaro recommendations were excellent.

If you want a bar with the most insane selection of spirits and people who love their job then this is it. Seriously…everything was just top notch.
Their selection is so big your bill is literally written down on paper rather than punched into a machine.
Feeling adventurous? Give the “Shrouded Roulette” a go

I visited Seattle from Tampa. This was the mixology bar that everyone online was recommending we go to but ended up being disappointing. We get there and there was a wait to get in like it was a restaurant. We waited there in the cold for 30 mins before they let us in. They sat us down at this small bar that looks like it was meant to be a standing bar but they put chairs there. Anyway the waiter took like 15 mins to take our order and another 10 mins to get our drinks. If this was a mixology bar in Florida we would have already been finishing our second drink by now. We left after the first drink because the service sucks. why can't we walk up to the bar and order drinks? They have like 4 people working back there and one guy taking orders and serving the drinks.
The service was very good, and I enjoyed most of the food we had (the duck dish was tasty but the lumpia part too salty). The drinks weren't bad, but they seemed to have more style than substance. The burger king for example was not helped by being served in a rubber container. If I visit Seattle again I would try something new before returning unfortunately.

I visited this bar yesterday and unfortunately had a disappointing experience with one of the servers. From the start, her attitude felt unfriendly toward us, while she was very cheerful with the table next to ours. I wonder if it was because we were Asian?
When it came to the bill, I was a bit confused about the tipping process since I’m visiting from Canada. I wrote down the tip and asked if they needed to run my card again. Instead of explaining kindly, the server responded with “It’s the tax, we’re in Washington!” in a dismissive way. Of course I know there’s tax! I’m not new to this. What I didn’t expect was the condescending tone, especially from a bar that’s ranked among the top 100.
The drinks themselves were fine, but the service really didn’t match the reputation

Our friends were already here and the door man said to us, “If you get a table close to your friends and start talking to them, we will kick you out. I’m serious.” He looked us in the eye, no hint of humor or sarcasm, luckily ‘we had forgotten our ids’ so we left. This is going to lead to an exaggerated Seattle freeze, this bar is against friendship, community and good vibes. All these reviews talking about choices of spirits here, but this place really dimmed our spirit.
Very rude service
