About Silver Lyan

Silver Lyan is a restaurant located in the Riggs Hotel, known for its excellent service and speakeasy atmosphere. The staff is attentive, providing swift delivery of cocktails and small bites. The ambiance is stylish and inviting, making it an ideal location for a date night. The venue features a basement with a throwback 80s vibe and a listening room for music and conversation, creating a cozy and intimate setting. The bar is secluded from the rest of the hotel, enhancing the intimate and mysterious atmosphere, with only a small table lamp providing light. Comfortable chairs and separate puffs for bags add to the relaxed environment. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, often surprising guests with unique cocktails like "75 it’s alive" and recommending favorite drinks. The cocktails are creative, though some may find the flavors too mixed or subtle. The restaurant offers a selection of tasty small bites, including Pretzel Bites, which are homemade and highly recommended. Visitors often enjoy the ambiance upstairs at Cafe Riggs while waiting for a table and may receive free gumballs. The experience is enhanced by the attentive staff, notably the waitress who quickly learned guests' preferences, making the night memorable. The music, however, might not always match the bar's vibe, with suggestions to play more fitting tunes like Berlioz. Overall, Silver Lyan is popular and great for those looking for adventurous drinks and a cozy, stylish setting.
