About

Located at 928 12th Ave in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, Canon has established itself as a destination for those seeking an immersive cocktail experience. The bar is defined by its striking aesthetic, often described as a whiskey-focused, wild west saloon. Guests are frequently drawn to the venue’s impressive, floor-to-ceiling display of rare liquor bottles, which bartenders access via a rolling ladder, adding a theatrical element to the service. The space offers two distinct environments: a main room characterized by large windows and a bustling bar, and a more intimate back room that provides a quieter setting for patrons. The menu at Canon is extensive, featuring a wide array of signature cocktails that prioritize creative presentation and complex flavor profiles. From whimsical vessels to artistic garnishes, the drinks are crafted to be a performance, with options ranging from bold, spirit-forward creations to refreshing, balanced mixtures. While the bar is primarily celebrated for its vast selection of whiskies and innovative mixology, it also serves a variety of food, including bao, meat and cheese boards, and steak. Although experiences with service can vary, the bar remains a popular spot for both locals and visitors, with walk-ins encouraged and reservations recommended for those looking to secure a seat during peak hours.
