He opened his first bar, White Lyan, in London in 2013 as the first cocktail bar in the world to use no perishables; no fruit and even no ice. It was an exploration in sustainability, with much lower waste and a use of pre-made cocktails and innovative ingredients. This focus on a ground-breaking approach remains in the evolution of White Lyan in Super Lyan, Dandelyan, Cub, Lyaness and Silver Lyan. + Read more Ryan grew up in a place where food and drink were the heart of the household. Looking to develop this passion, he began his career training as a chef. As a chef he found himself yearning to get out of the kitchen to have a chat as he loved the personal interaction he had with his friends whilst entertaining at home. When doing a BA and MA at Edinburgh University, his time behind the bar became more focussed. Studying Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins as well as Biology and Philosophy at Edinburgh University, he found that the bar was perfect for creativity, entertaining and conversation. He also developed his acute palate, experimenting with ingredients, and tailoring his drinks to each person he met, what they were like, their mood and their interests.

(for now…) “The Most Important Bar to open in the last decade” — New York Times 2017 White Lyan was the first bar in the world to have no perishables at all; no ice, no citrus or other fresh fruit. There were also no brands in the bar. Instead, every single drink was handcrafted in-house, using only Mr Lyan’s own spirits and tinctures, cordials and distillates. This means that White Lyan drinks were ones that you could get nowhere else in the world. Meticulous detail also met the fun and creativity of the East End, whilst serving a fine cocktail damn quick.
