"Acclaimed mixologist Ryan Chetiyawardana, known as Mr. Lyan, chose Washington and the posh Riggs Hotel as the location for his first U.S. drinking establishment that was named the best hotel bar in the U.S. at Tales of the Cocktail. The red plush underground lounge surrounded with silver trophies is fit for a luxe night out. Its daring menus have introduced ambitious ingredients like distilled emu neck and smoked bee larvae, and its latest iteration features “mummified” jackfruit syrup and drinks like the maple syrup-smelling “Eggo Waffles.”" - Tierney Plumb, Travis Mitchell
