Ryan Chetiyawardana's DC outpost of his world-famous London bar Lyaness — a basement-level Riggs Bank vault transformed into a dimly-lit, glass-walled cocktail room with one of the most ambitious drinks programs in America. Cocktails built around hyper-specific ingredients (single-estate honeys, custom-distilled botanicals) and a service approach that takes hospitality as seriously as the drinks. Consistently lands on World's 50 Best Bars lists. For when you want a bar to feel like a destination.
