After getting turned away from a nearby bar for lack of ID, some friends and I randomly wandered into this place Canon—and honestly? The rejection did us a favor.
This bar serves the most outrageously fantastic, creative cocktails in Seattle. Bold, clever, and absolutely showing off (as they should).
The vibe? Classic old world. Moody, intimate, effortlessly cool. And just when you think it can’t get better, there’s an old-timey radio broadcast playing in the bathroom. Yes. The bathroom. Because commitment to ambiance and details matter. The food was delicious, the straws are glass, and the water glasses are crystal. A bit more $$ but worth every extra dime.
I loved this place unapologetically and would 100% go back. A must-visit, no hesitation.

Some of the best cocktails in Seattle! Excellent food and top notch service too. Despite there being many bars and restaurants in the area this is a favorite we keep returning to. Happy to have spent our New Year’s Eve at Canon!

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.

We had to visit this place because of its reputation having also been to Jack Rose Saloon in DC and it lives up to it. Terrific spirits choices. Great bartenders! We had a great time. The only food we got was bread to go and it was wonderful. Great experience

First time visiting the one of the most famous bar located in Capitol hill. I had many bartender friends recommened me of this place.
First of all, it’s not a big space but it really makes the place feel close to everyone inside.
They had the largest drink selections when I requested for their list of Scotch. But there are def more to it.
Parking may be limited but they are right across Seattle University.
I will come back here again for some food next time with the drinks.

Great whisky selection and excellent cocktails. I didn’t have the food this time but tried desserts in the past and they were excellent.

It’s my 3rd time here. Been here on almost every visit to Seattle and haven’t been disappointed.
First of all, for me, it’s an amazing whisky bar! So many to choose from and explore.
Secondly, they make amazing cocktails. If you can grab a seat at the bar, you will be in for a treat as the bartenders display their craft. It’s a true performance. The cocktails are served in a very artistic manner, so enjoy the entire production!
The food was fantastic! I really enjoyed it. The oysters were okay, but everything else we ordered was just amazing.
Finally, the ambiance was amazing. The old pub feel. The whisky bottles on display. The bartenders making the drinks. All amazing.
Overall, a good experience. It is a little pricy, but it is well worth it. I highly recommend it and I look forward to my next visit.

Unique experience. Great if your into whisky, there were over 3000 types. The beer selection is good as well. The atmosphere was one of the best things. Watching then locate bottles on the high shelves with the rolling ladder. Also enjoyed watching them mix drinks which were served in glasses shaped like cannons, bathtubs and other items.

Cannon puts the craft in craft cocktail – possibly the best cocktail bar I’ve ever been!
What can I say? I was staying in Seattle and happened to come across cannon. I made a last minute, split decision to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. This place puts in the effort to not just make an elevated drink, but to create a whole vibe. Yes, the prices may startle some, but trust me…it’s worth it. Treat yourself
Love the concept of a drink where you are the artist and can make your own masterpiece. Edible paint? Cocktails? Who dreams this up?
My favorite had to be Snow White’s Bong. Fruity, smokey, and just balanced. But beware, these drinks are so on point they go down a little too easy.
All in all, if you’re in Seattle, visiting Seattle, or even thinking about Seattle then visit Cannon!
