It's not every day that you learn that the official best cocktail bar in the UK is right on your doorstep, and so I absolutely couldn't walk past Schofield's on Friday night without going in.
Beating a number of London-based venues to bag the prestigious accolade, Schofield's is putting Mancunian mixology firmly on the map, letting the rest of the country know just how phenomenal the northern cocktail bar scene really is.
Having won Bar of the Year and New Bar of the Year at last year's Class Bar Mag awards, Schofield's, has done it again this year, scooping up Bar of the Year for the second year running.
