Silver Lyan represents the first American venture for legendary bar visionary Ryan Chetiyawardana, nestled in a historic bank vault at the Riggs Washington DC. This award-winning cocktail bar showcases avant-garde mixology with a culinary approach that transforms ingredients into liquid art. The interior design is stunning, featuring lush crimson velvet, exposed concrete, shimmering mirrors, original tin ceilings, and geometric lines that create an elegant yet modern aesthetic. The signature cocktails feature innovative modifiers like blood foam, blueberry tea, and tomato honey, pushing the boundaries of what cocktails can be. Their famous $49 cinnamon and orange espresso martini is legendary, and they're also known for high-end jello shots that showcase their creativity. The bar earned a spot on North America's 50 Best Bars list. Hours are limited, operating primarily in evenings from Tuesday through Sunday. This is fine dining in cocktail form, where every drink tells a story and the presentation is as important as the taste.
