My honest opinion of this place is it’s super cute. The front end is definitely a lot more private than the back end. The middle area has less lighting and is very cozy and where we sat was a lot of light. Our server was great. They always made sure you had water which is nice. I definitely think it was overpriced. I think it was like $85 for two drinks and two shots and an extremely small appetizer of four or five small little pretzels. I would not return but was super cute place.
I love it here! The vibe is very lowkey and chic. The food is very expensive but it’s good. I would load up before going. The Vanilla Salt on the Aperol Jell-O shot is something to write home about! Kara, Erica, Eric and Jo are top tier bartenders and they provided immaculate service! See ya soon Silver Lyan!
The Silver Lyan is a one of a kind experience. You’ll be whisked away to a hidden speakeasy, with inviting decor, cozy seating, and beautiful mood lighting. The service is prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful with menu suggestions and pairings. I had one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had here. I forget the name, but it is tart, refreshingly fruity, and gorgeously garnished - down to the uniquely stamped ice cube. The price point, while higher than some bars, is justified by the quality of ingredients, service, and top-notch drinks. Can’t recommend the Silver Lyan enough.
We had a quick day in DC, and the one place we knew we had to visit was the Silver Lyan. Every drink was insanely creative and so much fun to experience. Kara was our bartender and she had the best energy. Wonderful service. Excellent drinks. Will be back again 💯
Silver Lyan is a really fun date-night spot, but definitely make a reservation because it fills up quickly. The cocktails are around $23 and the menu is large and very detailed, with some really creative options. The drinks are beautifully balanced, though portions aren’t huge. It’s the kind of place you go to enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail rather than quantity. Service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. The Jell-O shots are phenomenal and surprisingly refined, and they also have a dedicated snack menu, which is a nice touch if you’re settling in for a drink or two. Overall, definitely worth visiting, especially for a date or special night out. Not necessarily an everyday bar, but a great experience when you go.
