Natalie Kais & Diana Kessel

Bar Manager & Lead Bartender

With nearly two decades of experience in New York’s top bars and restaurants, these glitter-clad best friends have brought their talent, humor, and heart to Martha’s Vineyard to haunt and enchant Atria’s brick cellar (in equal measure).

On their days off, you’ll find them lounging on the beach, posted up at the PA Club, or dashing off on a whirlwind 24-hour trip to catch a Broadway musical or pop star lighting up Barclays Center.

Behind the bar, Natalie and Diana make guests’ dreams come true with perfectly balanced cocktails, often inspired by their international travels, all while delivering lively, tangential banter on just about any topic under the sun. (If these walls could talk… they’d probably tell Diana to can it already — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.)

With just six coveted bar stools, Natalie, Diana and the rest of their incredible bar team ensure every guest feels welcome and celebrated while sipping some of the island’s best drinks. (Pro tip: Ask Diana to get creative with Malibu — you won’t regret it.)
