Silver Lyan
Cocktail bar
Why we point you here
Silver Lyan lands at No.
48 on North America's 50 Best Bars and holds two Pins from Pinnacle Guide—rankings that speak for themselves in Washington DC's drinking scene. Ryan Chetiyawardana's bar is worth building a night around, the kind of place where serious craft meets genuine hospitality without the fuss.
