Openings: Bateman's on 6th Street

Two East Village residents are behind Bateman's, a new cocktail bar on Sixth Street. The bar's name and concept are based on Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho, a black comedy horror novel from 1991 (and a 2000 film starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman). 

The lounge, via husband-wife duo Carlo Olcese and Natasha Van Duser, with baroque-style paintings and Tiffany chandeliers, features a 10-seat bar and a 20-seat dining area for the small-plates-style menu. 

Bateman's, 308 E. Sixth St., between First Avenue and Second Avenue, is open daily from 5 p.m. to midnight and closes at 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

No word if there's any Huey Lewis & the News on the bar's soundtrack.

"Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor."
