Bateman’s is the brainchild of industry veteran, Natasha Van Duser. Formally trained as a bartender at Columbia University, she has bartended, managed, and curated cocktail menus in Manhattan for over ten years. In 2024, Natasha won Deep Eddy’s National Craft The Fun competition with her “Hotel Transylvania”, while her “Honey Cake Gimlet” won 2nd place in the regional No. 3 Gin Unrivaled Classics Competition.
After enjoying cocktail bars around the world, she decided to bring her own spin to the NYC cocktail scene, combining high quality drinks with high levels of approachability.
