Lyaness is the newest bar from the award-winning Ryan Chetiyawardana (more commonly known as Mr Lyan) and his esteemed team. Their success also includes the acclaimed venues White Lyan, Super Lyan and Cub. Lyaness recently replaced Dandelyan, which was named "The world's best bar" in 2018. It has retained the essence of its Dandelyan heritage and popularity with its new design engineered by the same designer, Jacu Strauss and the Lore Design Team. Lyaness bar London has, however, imbued the space with a greater focus on comfortability and fun. It features a signature electric blue colour theme complemented by its original green marble bar. It also has spectacular views of the Thames River by continuing its collaboration with Sea Containers London. The real significant change shines through in the cocktails. The 21-drink menu encompasses seven home-made ingredients showcasing flavours such as banana, pineapple and raspberry. Three unique and superb drinks are made from each ingredient. What makes Lyaness different from the rest, including its predecessor Dandelyan, is its new-found curiosity to transform alien and unusual ingredients into delicious cocktails. Page-long blurbs accompany each ingredient to illustrate how Lyaness has manipulated the ingredients in the most unusual ways. Its mantra is to lead by flavour instead of recipes. This is definitely epitomised in its first ingredient-cocktail selection, 'Infinite Banana'. Naturally the cordial is made from banana where the focus lies in curing and fermenting to bring out as many remarkable and complex flavours as possible. It comes in a trio of cocktails encompassing three distinct interpretations of the Banana flavour- smoky, spicy and sweet. An excellent cocktail made with this ingredient includes their £13.5 Double Pain Killer. It has the added ingredients of Bombay Sapphire, Bacardi Cuatro and is finished off with dashes of coconut, lemon and orange. Another exceptional ingredient-led cocktail type is made with their unique 'Aromatised Milk Wine' cordial. Lyaness bar London champions an innovative preservation technique that changes the natural textures and flavours of the milk. These techniques reduce the heavy dairy effect and capture fuller taste and aroma. The milk cordial best shines through in its £13 Silver Bullet cocktail. Its made to perfection with roku gin, milk wine, bitter orange and a bit of lemon. With its ethos to be vibrant yet relaxed, Lyaness is the perfect haunt for early afternoon tea with its cocktail-based tea selection. It also transforms into the best bar location for after-work and weekend drinks with its prestigious resident DJs and eclectic mix of rock, funk and disco.
