"Canon is the perfect place for a nightcap after a fancy Capitol Hill dinner - as long as you’ve made a reservation in advance. It’s the holy grail of cocktail bars in this city, with an encyclopedic drink menu and floor-to-ceiling shelves of liquor bottles to drive the point home. Anything you get here will be good, not to mention creatively presented, possibly even in a lighbulb or a soup can. There’s even a “transfusion” cocktail for two served in an actual IV bag that drips into your rocks glass. If you’re really torn, have the bartender mix something custom - they won’t steer you wrong." - aimee rizzo
