Goodman’s Bar — Restaurant in New York

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.

After a long afternoon on my feet shopping around the Upper East Side, I was very pleased to discover that there was a full-service bar in the Men's Store at Bergdorf Goodman's. The bar had a very classy and relaxing aesthetic, with marble tables and comfy chairs and booths. I was greeted by a hostess who gave me a very thorough rundown of all the cocktail options. I ordered the Wobbly Boots (see photo), which was an impeccably crafted twist on an Aperol Spritz with hints of cinnamon. The staff graciously allowed me to hang out for two hours and continued to check in on me as I sipped on my cocktail. Overall, I believe this is one of the most hidden and underrated spots for those looking for a beautiful and fabulous break from their shopping excursions. I cannot wait to return to try more of...

This is such a nice little bar and you’d never expect much from a spot inside a men’s clothing store. Although it’s a bar, there are still a good selection or restaurant quality dishes to enjoy. I was able to try several drinks and dishes and all were great. Both Eric and Victoria provided lovely service and recommendations as well. My favorite dish was one of the small plates, the Parker house rolls. Trust me, just get them. The tacos were a very close second, but omg those rolls. Would highly recommend stopping by this little spot if you’re in the area, even if you’re not...
