Silk Road is a cocktail establishment in the Pearl District that marries craft cocktails with shared plates influenced by Chinese cuisine, opened in March 2024 at 1230 NW Hoyt Street. Bar owner Vijay Kumar crafts inventive drinks that incorporate oolong into Old Fashioneds, shiitake-infused vermouth into martinis, and five spice syrup into daiquiris. Former Ambassador owner Lexy Foong handles the kitchen, creating dishes like handmade wagyu beef dumplings and caramelized chicken wings. The bar features a distinctive aesthetic with gently sloped wooden walls and brass-accented globe sconces suggesting a luxe bar car, inspired by the 19th century Silk Road trains. This sophisticated blend of flavors, both liquid and culinary, creates an elevated speakeasy experience.
