A new cocktail bar hidden in the vault of Manchester’s old Stock Exchange is set to throw open its doors. Sterling is the new project from the brothers behind the much-loved Little Quay Street bar Schofield’s.
Joe and Dan Schofield have been working on plans for the new bar for the past 15 months, and will launch the bar tonight. “It’s been a long journey for us,” Joe Schofield told the Manchester Evening News. “We’re finally really excited to be able to open the doors to everybody.”
It was thanks to the ground laid at their first bar that they landed the opportunity to set up Sterling, with the hotel’s owner, ex-United icon Neville, having been a fan of their work. They opened Schofield’s in 2021 on the site of The Old Grapes, and quickly gained a following for their five-star service and classic cocktail menu.
