"If Everson Royce Bar got married, moved to South Pasadena, and started volunteering at the library, you’d get Cannonball, the settled-down sibling of one of our favorite Arts District bars. The two spots share owners—as well as an excellent burger and buttermilk biscuits—but that’s about it. Cannonball’s split-level dining room feels more like a neighborhood mixer for people who remember ringback tones, with parents planning playdates over bourbon cocktails and fried calamari. Snacky dishes like fideo with clams and crispy chorizo, or a shaved celery and date salad, are unfussy and delicious, and the hundred-bottle-plus wine list is warrants a deep dive. If your ideal night out ends with sending the babysitter home a little early and being in bed at a reasonable hour, Cannonball is nirvana." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder, cathy park, cathy park, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, brant cox, brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, brant cox, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park
