Soooooo happy! - Edit
This place makes me feel like a regular person. Like I’m the same as everyone else, just hanging out at a local bar, eating pub food, watching sports, and listening to live music. Nothing pretentious, and nothing fast-casual-faux-healthy. The food was delicious and piping hot. Everything is made in house. Service is friendly. Vibe is… local bar - exactly how it should be. (Families with kids should be comfortable during meal-times.) It’s 30 minutes from my house and is totally gonna be my haunt. *Would be better if they got rid of the dairy-cheese-upon-request option.

The best in New Haven! - Edit
Must stop when in New Haven. Great ambiance, drinks, and amazing food. Everything is vegan - there is an option to add cheese which makes it vegetarian but everything is default vegan. Menu rotates a lot but the Stake and ale pie is fantastic and I love the fried “fish”

Vegan Full English Breakfast - Edit
I love EPL, husband is vegan, we both enjoy jazz and they all came together at The Cannon! I enjoyed the tofu scramble wrap with fried potatoes and my husband had the Full English for our Sunday brunch. Great footie on the Telly, lively atmosphere and the bonus of a live jazz quintet! I’m not an Arsenal supporter but we still got great coffee and service with a smile. It’s a fun, lively place with good (vegan) food. Cheers!

Adore it - Edit
We come here for Arsenal soccer matches and love everything about it. Really nice folks, regular bar (not some overpriced or extra hipster vegan place, just a nice simple bar). Very diverse crowd, from kids to seniors. And our food was really good!

An Arsenal pub for this veggie is my spiritual home - Edit
I travelled from New York to meet my friend from New England halfway at this place to watch an Arsenal game. Be in no doubt: this is first and foremost an Arsenal pub, and if you can get there on a match day as I did, the New Haven Gooners will give you a very warm welcome for the crazy atmosphere you will enjoy. On the morning I visited (they open an hour before kickoff on all Arsenal match days) they had a fully vegan breakfast menu. I adored the French toast, absolutely outstanding, worth the trip for that alone - and the fries with it were salty and perfect. But the accompanying fixings were a bit deep fried and greasy, perhaps a harbinger of things to come - the plantains for dessert were really disappointing, in a bitter cheap chocolate sauce for $13 when you add tax and tip wasn't worth it. Still, I'd definitely come again for the football, and would definitely have that French toast with it too.

This place makes me a cool mom! - Edit
We go as a whole family with our 16y and 18y kids. Our son loves the Foot ball club feel. I am the only vegan, our daughter is vegetarian and my husband and son eat whatever is in front of them. The food is very tasty. I would give 5 stars if they added a small pile of greens to the plates to help cut the fried pub food.

Upset my stomach on multiple occasions - Edit
I really want to like this place, I love the idea of a vegetarian pub and it has a cool vibe and nice outdoor seating. But the food does not sit well with me. The first time I went, my reaction bordered on food poisoning. I waited six months or so and went back... sure enough my tummy is not doing well. Maybe it’s that the food is soo greasy and sopping with oil, but I won’t be able to get myself to eat food here again.

Great addition to the New Haven Scene - Edit
This is a really cool, warm place, with a great bar, stand- up tables outside, and likely more outdoor space to come in back. Staff is awesome and they are focused on creative and delicious vegetarian and vegan food, with acmenu that changes daily. They pour a legit pint of Guinness. The vegan pastas, risotto and salad all very good.
Read moreUpdate: the vegan "fish" sandwich Fresh Catch was phenomenal.
The Peri-peri mushroom wrap is insane.

Amazing vegan food prepared & served by amazing humans! Great bar too! - Edit
Have yet to have a bad visit at The Cannon. Whether I’m there for a full meal(hello, Reuben & fries), or just having a cocktail or 2 after work, it’s always a guaranteed good time. Adore every person who works there.♥️🌱

Go out of your way for this - Edit
This food is spectacular. So much better than GZen which was the area’s mainstay for years. I had the heart of palm ‘fish’ dish with greens, grits and cornbread. One of the best meals I’ve had in years. Totally delicious. Vegans go out of your way!! This is an easy place to get to from 95 so if you’re passing thru well worth the detour.

Best new vegan/vegetarian spot in town - Edit
Phenomenal vegan and vegetarian food, all made from scratch in-house (even the bread!) with plenty of options and a rotating menu. Extremely friendly staff and an effortlessly cool vibe make this a welcoming space for everyone, solidifying The Cannon as a staple in the New Haven restaurant and bar scene. Cannot recommend this plucky little place more highly.

Disappointing - Edit
The steak pie looked so good in the picture - a flaky crust with warm filling served with salad and fries. What I got was a small pie with a thin bland crust filled with, at most, 1/3 cup of overcooked diced carrots and peas in a flavorless brown sauce. To be fair there were a good amount of nice mushrooms. It was tasteless except for a slight taste of beer. They recommended a $2 side of gravy which was like brown water. And no fries or salad. So disappointing.
Read moreMy companion got the Rueben which was decent if nothing special. And fries which were too heavily seasoned.
One good thing was the cinnamon roll. It was unusual, made perhaps with graham flour? Not your usual cinnamon roll. It was delicious.
Pros: Menu is all vegetarian or vegan , Mushrooms in pie, Cinnamon roll
Cons: White bread only for the sandwich , Fries were overseasoned, Pie was small and flavorless
