Goodman’s Bar

Goodman's Bar was a casual experience. Located on the second floor in the middle of the men's department store section, Goodman's Bar serves both food and drinks. To eat I got the Crème Fraîche which I found to be just okay. There was a strong taste of citrus which took away from the rest of the dish. In terms of drinks, I got a gin-based cocktail which tasted good. For both drinks and food, the price was a little more than seemed justified by the quality. As far as the layout and seating, it's a small area with a large bar and a few tables around it. Overall, it is an interesting experience if you are in the area, but I do not think I would go out of my way to check out Goodman's Bar.

I absolutely adore this hidden gem, tucked away inside Bergdorfs men's department. Quiet, elegant, great bar and check out the custom NYC toile wallpaper.

5/5 Decor - love the vibes in here5/5 Service - attentive and thoughtful service5/5 Ambiance - doesn't feel like you're in the men's department of BG - the corner feels slightly hidden4.5/5 Cream of Mushroom soup $14: creamy, subtle hint of spice (likely fresh cracked pepper), the mushrooms are all blended in so if you don't like the texture of mushrooms but enjoy the flavor, you can take a gander. I would have preferred a more mushroomy flavor overall but loved that it was served hot.3/5 Short Rib tacos $18: decent, too wet (the tortillas arrive soggy and when you pick up the taco, it left a significant liquid residue on the dish). Surprisingly the short ribs themselves were on the dry side (maybe too lean?) despite how wet the tortillas were. Could have used some more green sauce. Otherwise, decent average taco, nothing to write home about. Wish it was fattier.

I had an exceptional experience at Goodman's. The service was superb and attentive without being overbearing (Asa is magisterial). The drink program is thoughtful. We had Bear Minimum and The Dainty Earl and loved the flavor profiles; The Dainty Earl had expertly balanced tannins. The food was well executed. We had the caviar and potato leek soup. The ambiance was fun and unique! I look forward to returning.

My next trip to New York and of course this was my first stop! We had to revisit some of the same menu items as well as trying some new seasonal options. - I hope the Birria tacos and caviar/creme fraiche always stay on the all seasons menu, they're so delicious!- The tomato bisque soup was delicious, but it falls short to the squash soup last fall. - The grilled peach and burrata salad is the type of item my palette always craves, I just wish it had more than 3 slices of peaches.- Crab cake was great, just a tad too salty (and I tend to like food on the saltier side).- The Cuban sandwich was one of the best I've had, also the perfect portion! Cuban sandwiches can be really heavy and filling from all the flavors and fillings, but the portion size was the perfect amazing to keep me content.- The cherrie chocolate bites were good, but I don't like to mix my fruit with chocolate (unless it's star berries and Nutella).- Howeverrrr, not pictured are the freshly made Madeline bites that tasted like heaven!! I don't care how full you get, you should get them every time you come to Goodmans Bar.The 2 gentlemen that work behind the bar there are exceptional, amazing service and they are the best baristas and mixologists, don't believe me? Go find out for yourself

Super kind staff! Drinks are great and the bartenders remembered us and are so funny Great break spot from walking around shopping all day!

The drink I ordered, "The Bear Minimum" ironically represented the level of service offered. Interaction with clients wildly varied. The witty banter shared with other clients vanished when the patrons departed. It was very strange.Posting a very short review, to return later. I'm stunned by the indifferent behavior of the bartenders. (*Not* the cocktail hostess, who was adorable.)If the bartenders deem a patron worthy, exemplary service will be provided. Dress casual at your own risk.

Located on the 2nd floor of the men's department. Staff is very tentative. We stopped for a cocktail but decided to try the brussels sprouts (even though we literally JUST ate)... they were yummy.

In the midst of rigorous shopping - you may need to hydrate. A cool oasis on floor 2 of the men's department. If I'm the area - stop by and say hello !!

Was looking for a special place that was "off the beaten path but in the middle of everything" to grab a cocktail and found Goodman's located inside the men's store at Bergdorf Goodman's.While this is a newer addition to the Bergdorf family, the expertise across the team is second to none.The bar area itself harks back to bygone days with its elegant wall treatments, lighting and mural of Central Park while feeling fresh and hip. The intimate setting is perfection.Our experience was curated by Asa who recommended two of the finest cocktails to begin our journey and even offered a whiskey tasting to get to know our palette.Chef Gio takes particular care to ensure every dish is full of love and adventure-I highly recommend the Beef Tartar and the Bibb salad with shrimp but the star of the show is Gio's cavier presentation which is highly approachable even for someone that was brand new to cavier.The crème fresh was joined with subtle hints of horseradish, lemon and chive which balanced the slightly salty perfection of the cavier.The custom potato chips made a light but substantial foundation to play with, making every bite unique and balanced.Asa's paring of champagne took the flavor journey to new heights while Eva's service and conversation made us feel as though we were regulars.If you are looking for a wonderful experience beyond great food and drinks you MUST visit Goodman's.
