Nestled within the larger ‘Social Club‘ area, this cozy venue is a delightful spot to sip on an array of beers, wines, and basic cocktails. A hallmark feature of The Loose Cannon is its signature beverage, the ‘Sh-oct-a-pus’ – a shot tower designed for five sailors to share, presented in a fun metal octopus sculpture.
