Can someone recommend good cocktail bars and rooftop bars? (lemmy.world)

We visited an East End basement bar years ago in the style of the owner's East European babushka's home and some pretty weird cocktails - eg a glass pipe with a liquid, you pour another liquid and it "smoked".

Went to the Aqua rooftop bar the other day - it was ok.

Can anyone recommend good options that are unique?

I don't know about their cocktails, but Bar Elba in Waterloo is a nice rooftop bar -- good vibes for a medium-to-large social event. The Alchemist (like Scott suggested in another comment) has very interesting weird cocktails, but personally, the novelty wore off after a couple of visits as the cocktails themselves are... OK.

Other nice cocktails bars that I can recommend are Callooh Callay and Cahoots.
