Schofield’s Bar in Manchester has been named both Bar of the Year and New Bar of the Year at the annual Class Bar Awards. The ceremony, organised by the bartending magazine, was held last night in London, with more than 650 bar industry folk in attendance.
Schofield’s, which is run by brothers Daniel and Joe Schofield, opened last year on the site of the legendary The Old Grapes pub, and has quickly become one of the most popular bars in the city. It was also named in the Top 50 Cocktail Bars list earlier this year too.
It’s the first time in the awards’ history that a bar has won both Best Bar and Best New Bar.
