We reserved a space late afternoon for my wife’s birthday drinks and the service was fantastic from the point of enquiry with Erin via email to our arrival and prompt/polite table service during our stay. A really stylish venue, great atmosphere and the perfect place for friends to meet. Five stars all the way!

Visitamos Sterling el viernes pasado por la noche mientras nos alojamos en el hotel y nos pareció fabuloso. Los cócteles eran increíbles (especialmente el Eastside Swizzle) y el servicio era genial, con personal muy acogedor y atento. La música en vivo también fue excelente. Tuvimos una noche fabulosa y sin duda volveremos pronto.

We came to Sterling for cocktails with our friends. We came after reading all the positive reviews online, and the cocktails did not disappoint! It is a large cocktail bar tucked away in the basement of one of the buildings in the city centre - the service was great with us being seated within 5 minutes. The old fashion cocktail it was perfectly balanced- with great tasting whiskey. I would recommend this to anyone wanting quality cocktails in Manchester city northern quarter.

Absolutely loved this underground bar, which was recommended to us by friends. We didn’t book, just turned up. Cosy, intimate and attentive service. There was also a pianist/singer on the night we were there who was excellent. It was a weekend in August ‘24. We went for: Singapore Sling - £14 Eastside Swizzle - £13 Vieux Carre - £14 Brandy Cobbler - £14 125ml Chenin Blanc - £11 Service 12.5% - £8.26 Total - £74.26

If Carlsberg made cocktail bars.. Dark basement cocktail bar with live music, good wine, great (although not your usual) cocktails and faultless service. Honestly can’t fault the place. A ‘secret’ find in an unexpected location, just off Market Street. Special mention is due to Erin, who took care of us flawlessly. She even spotted when my wife got upset and gave her a hug! Above and beyond! Top tip - try the montepulciano red, it’s the cheapest red by the glass, but it’s a great wine! Great venue for a couples date night, classy, intimate and good / live music. Hard to find that combo in Manchester. Try it!!

I must admit I was slightly disappointed with the bar. We visited as we were staying in the Stock Exchange Hotel next door. The bar opens at 2, and I understand that it is in a vault, but it was so dark, you could barely see the menus. They also charge a 12.5% service charge which I thought was steep for bringing one drink. Maybe in the evening it would have a different vibe, but on a spring afternoon it didn’t seem great.

I really wanted to get the name of the bar server who looked after us last night, she was one of the nicest people and best bartenders and servers ever. If Sterling can commend her for her welcoming personality, knowledge of drinks and overall friendliess that'd be great, we think she was Greek or Spanish, we didn't catch her name but 5 stars to her. And also 5 stars to the luxury bar and cosy vibes, great mood lighting and a vast menu of endless cocktails and nibbles. Loved the jazz/lo-fi music playing in the background, will definitely be coming back here again.

We booked for pre-dinner cocktails for a 50th birthday celebration. Fantastic venue and atmosphere, excellent welcome, and cocktails were top class. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great - took a very long time to take our orders and only served half our group at a time which was very annoying. The waitress seemed irritated every time I asked her to take an order, not what you expect when a 'service' charge of £100+ is being applied. Would have been 5 stars otherwise.

Made a stop at Sterling, a sister bar of Schofield’s bar located in the basement of the Stock Exchange Hotel. The entrance, still resembling a bank vault, adds to the historical charm of the old stock exchange building turned hotel. While the cocktail menu leans towards classics, the live music definitely earned them some extra points.

I was here recently for one of the greatest Old Fashioned cocktails I've ever had. I had the vintage old fashioned which isn't cheap at £95 but was amazing. The service is just unbelievable. Everything is all about attention to detail. There clearly is a passion to ensure that this bar will be considered one of the best in the UK and having tried some of the best in the Uk this is up there!. Special mention to bartender Joe. The guy is a legend. When my guest used the bathroom he took her drink and placed in freezer to ensure it maintained its taste. He made me several more normal price old fashioned and his own twist and it was just delight. This was a michelin dining experience equivalent for a bar. Great live music as well as a wonderful ambience

I went in once and the woman had soo much attitude, she did not even look at us when giving the drinks. Her customer service was awful. I understand it was close to the store closing but she didn’t even smile once or look properly, she just ruined the day. The coffee didn’t taste good either.
