Review methodology and evidence standards

The editorial take

Canon's beverage program is anchored by an audacious spirits collection—4,000 labels, from $10 mezcal pours to a $780 vintage cognac. The cocktail menu, though custom-designed for private events, earns community praise for creativity and presentation. Happy hour cuts wine and draught beer by half, but the real draw is the depth of rare and vintage spirits.

What should I order?
For spirits enthusiasts, the 'Last Drop' selection offers rare vintage bottles; specific pours like RR5 absinthe l'ancienne 2012 ($51) and L4 Appleton Joy 25 yr ($51) showcase the range. Cocktails are praised for creativity, but specific names aren't verified.
Who will enjoy this place?
Whiskey and bourbon aficionados will find a deep bench, as will collectors seeking vintage cognac, calvados, and absinthe. Cocktail lovers who appreciate inventive presentations and a lively atmosphere are also well served.
What should I expect to spend?
Spirits prices range from $10 for well spirits to over $700 for vintage bottles, so a serious pour can be an investment; happy hour discounts on wine and beer provide lower-cost entry points.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
Canon claims America's largest spirits collection, and the evidence supports it: a 4,000-label list with dedicated sections for absinthe, mezcal, tequila, and more, plus a 'Last Drop' of rare vintages. Recognition as a top bourbon bar and among North America's 100 Best Bars underscores its pedigree.
