Bateman's

Run, don’t walk to the best bar in NYC!! Bateman’s is magic — the menu is playful and inventive, and the cocktails are crafted to perfection. The bartenders not only know their stuff, they make the experience feel personal and unpretentious. Come for the drinks, stay for the immaculate vibes. Think cozy date-night energy with just the right buzz for a group link up. The music slaps and the decor is wavy *chef’s kiss* Forget the overhyped, name-on-a-list-two-hour-wait spots. Bateman’s is the TRUTH.

Wow!!!!! This was an absolutely amazing experience. The cocktails were out of this world, I had the 3 Nights Martini, Sonny Milk Punch, Chaitini and they were incredible. Every cocktail was so well balanced. The food was equally as delicious- I was obsessed with the flatbread. Such a great bar- can’t wait to come back all the time!!

Ok WOW! I am so serious when I say the cocktails here are out of this world. I haven’t been impressed with a new cocktail bar in a very long time and this one blew me away! I started with a 3 night martini, a milk punch, chia-tini and then the best raspberry reposado espresso martini I’ve ever had. There was so much more I wanted to try too but 4 cocktails were enough for one night! I decided to try their food since I was drinking and OH MY GOD they have this thing called the Bacon and Eggs that was a glazed pork belly and deviled eggs. I can’t even begin to tell you how good it was. I really don’t know if I liked the cocktails or the food better. I normally bounce around and don’t frequent a place too many times but I really can’t wait to go back!

Literally, new favorite bar. Bateman’s is everything I personally look for in a bar—cozy, sexy, and really interesting, good drinks. The vibe as soon as you walk in is sophisticated while still being welcoming. Okay now onto the drinks. Absolutely incredible. Thoughtfully crafted and complex yet drinkable. The kind of drinks that somehow get better with each sip. Every cocktail feels like a masterpiece, and the stunning glassware only adds to the experience. They clearly thought a lot about it. Whether you know exactly what you want or need some guidance, the bartenders are not only highly skilled but also genuinely kind, making the whole experience even better. This is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve drinks—it makes you want to linger kinda forever. I see it as a great date spot, or place to catch up with your favorite people. Bateman’s has instantly earned a spot as one of my go-to’s.

Wonderful experience, comfortable environment and delicious + creative cocktails. The staff here really know their stuff when it comes to mixology. Highly recommend!

The Pink Pony Club Espresso Martini is arguably the best espresso martini you’ll ever have. Most of their ingredients are made daily, and you will definitely taste it. 11/10 check it out it you’re in the east village for an amazing cocktail.

You know cocktails? Great! Get the one you love, just better. You have no idea about cocktails? Even better! Talk to the bartender who recommends the perfect one based on your taste. Had a fantastic night in this bar. 3 different cocktails, one better than the previous one and always matching my style.

Amazingly balanced, well-crafted and creative cocktails. There is something for everyone on this drink menu. The goat cheese truffle flatbread was delicious. The vibe is very classy but approachable. So fun!

What a find. Killer drinks and fun people. The space is not too small and too big -- great for whatever you're looking for. Owners really know what they're talking about and want you to have a good time. HOT bartender Adam will make you whatever if you want something off menu.

Wow! This place is incredibly unique and special, each drink is so well thought out out. We had a manhattan and a strawberry basil bourbon drink and they were heaven. Each gets customized by the specific alcohol they import and the team is amazing at explaining each. Love love love - enjoy before it gets so busy you can't get in!

Award winning cocktails! We came here for GNO and every drink we tried was a next level version of a classic. From the Pink Pony Club (espresso martini), Hotel Transylvania, Ballet Slipper (negroni), and seasonal Strawberry Julep everything was delicious and picture perfect. The charcuterie board was a generous serving. We loved the garlic aioli, variety of meats and cheeses, pickles, olives, AND fruit. The staff was so friendly and made us feel right at home--- Natasha, Carlo, and Brenda we'll be back!!

Cute new neighborhood cocktail bar. We went in while waiting for Schmuck and loved the ambiance and drink list.
