Jamie Boudreau finally got his own bar, Canon: Whiskey and Bitters Emporium (his colon), and the very great Murray Stenson is behind the bar with him. Formerly, Boudreau ran the bar of Vancouver’s departed Daniel Boulud restaurant Lumiere, then that of the former location of Vessel downtown. Canon has dark upholstery, an antique cash register, a bar stained with Angostura bitters (on purpose), and such an extensive and beautiful liquor collection, it’s somewhat unbelievable. Boudreau wants his patrons to be “ensconced in booze.” To that end: a 100-drink menu-book, antique glassware, barrel-aged cocktails served in glass flasks, punch-bowl service, and more, more, MORE (including a nice little menu of food for ballast). It’s the slightly ridiculous, totally marvelous pinnacle of Seattle cocktail culture.

My only complaint is how busy it's become! Hard to find a seat last two times I've gone. Great place though!
