Riggs' lower level is home to Silver Lyan, a subterranean cocktail bar by internationally-acclaimed bartender and Lore Group's Global Bar Innovator Ryan Chetiyawardana (Mr Lyan).
In signature Lyan fashion, the concept reimagines the traditional hotel bar, delivering something wildly new and disruptive to the current DC landscape - a groundbreaking cocktail bar that blends classical and kitsch styles. The brand's very first U.S. venture, Silver Lyan focuses on the history of cultural exchange in America, bringing an elevated irreverence to the grand space to pay tribute to the past, present and future of the storied building.
The Silver Lyan menu pairs traditional techniques and flavors alongside innovative ingredients to deliver a collaborative offering of bespoke cocktails and shareable snacks. Meanwhile, the interior design of the jewel box space, a collaboration by Chetiyawardana and Strauss, brings an unexpected and graceful perspective to the grand history of the building. The result is a warm and welcoming setting that brings an entirely new, yet subtle, perspective to the market. As a foreigner in a new place, the Silver Lyan concept has global aspirations while grounding its offering in the ever-evolving zeitgeist of Washington DC.
Silver Lyan features a semi-private Cabinet Room for cocktail parties with hors' d' oeuvres up to 25, and a Champagne Booth for reserved private parties up to 8.
