20 Aug Super Lyan reopens with new bar manager and new menu
Cocktail bar Super Lyan, named Best Hotel Bar in Amsterdam by Belvedere earlier this year, is ready to reopen on August 26 under the leadership of their new bar manager and with a new menu.
New barmanager
Lewis Thomson has been appointed as the new bar manager of cocktail bar Super Lyan. Edinburgh-born Thomson is no stranger to the hospitality industry – after spending several years working in the vibrant bar scenes of Edinburgh and London, he relocated to Amsterdam in 2016 to work at cocktail bar Tales Spirits. After frequenting White Lyan and Dandelyan (former London bars under the Lyan brand), Thomson came to appreciate the work the Lyan family have done to improve the cocktail landscape while still respecting the classics of the past. Thomson said: “I’m looking forward to continuing to support the bar scene of a city I’ve come to love, alongside a passionate and inspiring Super Lyan team.” Super Lyan founder Ryan Chetiyawardana (aka Mr Lyan) said: “We’re thrilled to have Lewis join the Lyan team. With his background and vast knowledge of both Amsterdam and the world of cocktails, we can’t wait to welcome our guests back to Super Lyan!”
Newmenu
Under Thomson’s leadership, Super Lyan is also launching a completely new cocktail menu at the reopening. Reinterpreting the familiar is and remains the guiding principle at Super Lyan and is the basis for every cocktail on the new menu. To create the menu, the Lyan team looked at their own guilty pleasures and gave them a Lyan twist. For example, there is the Espresso Martini ’61 – an Espresso Martini with Rye Vodka, Espresso and Kvass liqueur – and the Tripped Gimlet – a Gimlet with two types of Gin, Bols Genever and kiwi and lime cordial. There are also two new cocktails on tap, namely the Amaretti Sour – with Johnnie Walker Red Black Label, amaretti and toasted bitters – and the East 8 Straight up – with Vodka, Aperol, lychee and passion fruit. Several cocktails can also be ordered as a boozeless version, where the alcohol is omitted but the flavour profile remains the same. In addition to the new cocktail creations, you can also simply opt for beer or a good glass of wine and there are various bites on the menu. With the new menu, Super Lyan makes cocktails accessible to everyone. The complexity of the cocktails appeals to true cocktail lovers, but there is also more than enough choice for guests who prefer more well-known, less complex cocktails. Super Lyan reopens its doors on 26 Augustus en is opened from17.00. Adress Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 3, Amsterdam Openingstijden We – Su: from17.00
