Mr Lyan has hopped across the pond, and this time he’s gone bling. There’s Lyaness in London and Super Lyan in Amsterdam, and now Washington DC has its own awesome subterranean version. Something tells us it's gonna be a roaring success...

As with all of Mr Lyan's projects, he's gone all-out. The concept is 'cultural exchange' and the vibe is channeling classical-opulence-meets-kitsch. Think slick oak wood flooring, cute ruby red lamps on circular tables, plush burnt orange chairs... you get the idea. No medals for guessing that cocktails and ingredients are crazy innovative. Take for example the Project Apollo which contains yes, moonrock.  Well, Moonrock Gin but we're still impressed. Feeling like a baller? Order the Presidential Gift - a $375 cocktail made up of Very Old Highland Aberfeldy Scotch 'exceptional single cask', DC honey, applejacked bitters and gold cherry. You're gonna need a lot of silver for this baby...
