Bars in places you least expect them can feel like an oasis. I recently discovered many Nordstrom’s have bars, with rather tasty cocktails. I’m happy to oblige the occasional shopping trip now.
I was walking with my wife in the mall today and she said "Does Nordstrom have a restaurant in it?" I looked up, and ahove the entrance was a broad window with tables behind it. Surprised me. I had no idea.
Discovered this after being dragged along on a multi-hour shopping trip. Wife and daughter did their thing while I sat in the bar, drank scotch and watched a game.
One no apostrophe(or if Nordstrom's Rack then apostrophe after the s). Two, I have never in my life been in a Nordstrom that had a bar, where are these?
Edit: Sorry for the grammar stuff, I just passed TOEFL.

Congratulations for passing that!
It is difficult to know when to offer a spelling or grammar correction and when to just let it go. Especially if you are new to the language and excited about what you have learned. Will you be helping someone who isn't sure of the right way to spell it, or was it just a simple typoe?
After all, pretty much every native English speaker has trouble with where to put the apostrophe's.
So my friend, welcome to our wild and funny and inconsistent language that we call "English" but draws from pretty much every other language in the world and inherits all of their quirks.
p.s. I also want to know which Nordstrom store has a bar!

I know better, but auto correct on my phone doesn’t. I gave up fighting with it long ago. Latest iOS seems to correct things twice before giving up which really pisses me off!
My fingers are larger than average so it helps more than it hurts, for now.
