Sazerac sipper Jared Scarr is a favorite at First Hill throwback Vito’s. And while he’ll continue to work at that lowlit lounge, he has also begun to mix drinks at Canon alongside Nathan Weber and owner Jamie Boudreau.
For now, Scarr will be working Tuesdays and Saturdays at Vito’s. Thursdays and Fridays he’ll be at Canon. As is always the case with such shifts, they are subject to change. But if you want him to make you a drink tonight, for instance, you know where to go.
In less happy Canon news, Eater Seattle’s Allecia Vermillion reports that the bar recently lost 15 glasses thanks to an indelicate dishwasher. As anyone with an appreciation for vintage glassware knows well, this is a sad development indeed.

Very good that they are getting more help. I’ve aleady had people tell me they were less than impressed because it took forever to get served – and these are folks who frequent craft cocktail bars. They aren’t expecting miracles. A lot of people were anxiously awaiting Canon’s opening, and all of the social media push has helped bring people in. But, you’ve got to live up to the expectations.
My experiences have been good, but that’s been on weeknights and fairly early
On the subject of glasses – you really can’t wash crystal and antique glass in a dishwasher, and not expect it to break.
Great news that Jared will be able to show off his skills in another spot!
Re: glassware, ouch. Bulk vintage glassware is especially hard to find; I do quite the jig when I find more than four of anything!
