About SCHOFIELD'S BAR

Schofield's Bar is in Spinningfields, specifically Sunlight House on Little Quay Street. It gets a solid 4.7 stars from over 500 Google reviews. The bar is open Tuesday through Thursday from 12 PM to 1:30 AM, but it's closed Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Inside, the atmosphere is described as cozy, romantic, trendy and upscale. It's geared toward groups and tourists. Schofield's has seating, table service, and even outdoor seating available. Delivery and takeout options are listed, which seems a bit odd for a cocktail bar. Expect a full bar with alcohol, beer, cocktails, hard liquor, and wine. The wheelchair accessible parking lot is a plus for accessibility. The photos online give off a classic cocktail bar vibe, but the limited opening hours may deter some potential customers.
