One of the most famous cocktail bars in Seattle with a wide selection of whiskey and fancy drinks.
Their drinks come in different containers that fit the names of the drinks. Cute.
Even though they serve limited food items they are surprisingly tasty. You can easily have a full meal there.
Wait time can be a long though so try to book ahead if you can.
Canon has all the makings of a top tier cocktail bar. It actually was a world famous cocktail bar back in 2014 when it ranked in the top ten. However, after visiting, I understand their fall from worldly acclaim.
Entering canon is like walking into the cocktail bar you wish you could always visit. The ambiance of the lighting, speakeasy wooden accents, and detailing ring perfect. You can only arrive with a group of four or less without a group reservation making the seating more intimate. Then come the drinks. As of June 2024, any classic cocktail is $16. That's fine, but their house creations start at $22 or higher. That's not fine. You aren't getting a cocktail with a $20+ value. It's almost like fun ingredients are added to seem edgy or different but nothing is added to the drink. This is true of some of the classics. A frozen pimm's cup is a good idea, just not in Seattle. A cocktail using Dimmi vermouth (banana stand) is a good idea, but I should taste the other ingredients. Their specialty cocktails are not only off balance, they're inaccesible by high price. You're likely paying extra money for their cute serving glasses (see my photos) and not for ingredients.
See my other reviews from top cocktail bars around the world and you'll understand why this bar is filled with good ideas with draft execution. Having a good time here is easy, but it's not because of the drink quality - it's the atmosphere. There's tons of potential, but like JC Penny's, canon's time may have passed.
Hands down the best cocktail bar in Seattle . Well priced, innovative menu and perfectly balanced drinks. Been here twice in the last month and tried so many of their cocktails- each one is impressive. There is some5hing for everyone. Food is good too and vegetarians are not forgotten. A must t try. Hard to recommend just a few drinks but these stood out-
My last paycheck Lawn boy Campfire in Georgia And the shrouded roulette. We got so many more drinks and everyone we have brought over has loved it.
