Planning your night out

How do I choose a bar for cocktails?

Compare the drinks menu, atmosphere and seating with the evening you want. Check reservations, opening times and whether there are entry or minimum-spend conditions.

How can a rooftop-bar guide help me choose somewhere for cocktails?

The Greece and UK rooftop-bar guides can help with the setting and destination. Check the drinks menu separately, along with reservations, outdoor access and weather arrangements; a rooftop setting does not establish cocktail specialisation.
