The SCHOFIELD'S BAR story
With over 25 years of experience collectively, bartender brothers Joe and Daniel Schofield always had a vision to return to their home city of Manchester to open their eponymous venue;
SCHOFIELD’S BAR.

SCHOFIELD’S BAR graces the corner of Sunlight House, one of the most iconic buildings in the north of England.

The art deco masterpiece of architect Joseph Sunlight was the tallest building in Manchester upon completion during the 1930s, a decade of great importance for cocktail culture. An era of grand and luxurious bars, known for their hospitality and classic cocktails.

Please note that we are only able to accept a handful of reservations each day as we are a walk-in led venue so please do not be put off visiting us if you are unable to reserve. All reservations are only guaranteed 2 hours at the table.

A quality experience. A genuine greeting at the door. Attention to detail. Great service. Heavy tables that aren't going to knock easily. Disney jazz in the toilets. I had a Penicillin, its was excellent. I then had a Manhattan, couldn't resist the barrel pick Makers Mark, and the balance within the drink was outstanding. The rest of my group were also suitably impressed. Cant wait to come back.

Amazing cocktails, charming and welcoming service by Rachel, Connor et al! Had a chance to enjoy the bar twice while visiting Manchester and we had the best time, would recommend if you're a fan of craft cocktails and a chill environment to enjoy them in.

A warm welcome as always from Josh at the door and all the staff as you make your way to the table. A genuine experience with superbly crafted drinks and nice sweet treats to go with our cocktails and end the evening. No attention to detail missed!

Excellent cocktails and service, faultless. I personally found the music a bit too loud for a cocktail bar, I prefer a more laid back vibe for ease of conversation. But an outstanding cocktail bar, I will visit again!

I’ve been here before and loved it on those previous occasions, however, I found the waiters this evening stepping over the line from attentive to incredibly obtrusive, with us being asked multiple times “what brings you here tonight?”, “where you going after?” “Is it a special occasion?”, often disrupting conversations I was having with my friend. Sometimes just taking orders and serving drinks with a smile on your face is more pleasant to a customer than interrogation
