Just what it says on the label - literally a bar in the shoe department in the basement of Nordstrom. Drinks are great, service is above and beyond what you’d expect from something that was presumably an afterthought when designing a department store, and you sure can’t beat the people watching as the shoe shoppers clamor around you. The constant PA announcements can be a bit much after a while, particularly when it seems like a pretty straightforward take a number system for shoe assistance yet they have to keep explaining how numbers work, but this isn’t really a place for quiet conversation anyway. But you can’t beat the price and entertainment if you’ve got some time to kill.

Chill to have a drink mid-shopping spree

We couldn’t visit NYC without stopping by to see our favorite bartender, Karen (not Karen) at the Shoe Bar in Nordstrom. She’s an absolute gem—lovely, friendly, and a true ambassador for Nordstrom. And on top of all that, she mixes a hell of a drink! It's been such a pleasure knowing her for over 4 years.

Jo is a treat. She made best margaritas we have ever had in our life. We stumbled on this and stayed here for 2 hours and had so many drinks we may have to nap. While looking through glorious RACKS of beautiful shoes.

Go see Jo- she makes the best margaritas! This was a wonderful shopping break on a cold wintry day! We just loved hanging out with her. 10/10 recommend!

Jo is the best! Makes the best margs in NYC! You have to come and try them!
Pete Robinson
What an amazing place to put the feet up for the husband who’s been following his wife around all day while we finalise the last shop.

When you need to take a little break from shoe shopping, this is the best option. The drinks are spency even for NYC but they're tastey and all the Nordstrom staff are wonderful so the bar is no exception
Stopped by for some shopping and stumbled upon the shoe bar. Ross was an amazing bartender. Espresso martinis are made with actual espresso and the mini tacos were light and tasty !!! Where the service and food are great !!!

I had a great time at the Shoe Bar the other day. I was the only customer sitting at the bar and Ross the bartender was so engaging and attentive. Those are star qualities for anyone to have that works in the hospitality industry. I will be returning soon.
