your neighborhood Social Escape
WHAT WE DO
When we created Katyé, we envisioned a space that feels both tucked away and familiar — a social escape rooted in warmth, rhythm, and connection. The venue blends the energy of a lounge with the community vibe of a class neighborhood social club. Here, a couple on date night, foodies indulging in a good meal, friends catching up over cocktails, or music and poetry lovers enjoying a good performance all become part of the same story: the story of connection.
Katyé is that story made tangible. A place that belongs to you, to us, to all of us who believe community is built in shared tables, glasses raised, and laughter that lingers long after the night is done. Born from nearly a decade in hospitality, our vision is simple: create a space that feels like home while offering an elevated social experience. Whether you’re here for conversation or culture, Katyé is your destination for connection.
kATYÉ: MEANING OF THE NAME
Katyè [kah-tee-yay] means “neighborhood” or "community" in Haitian Creole.
For us, it’s more than just a word, it carries belonging. We chose this name because our own lives have been shaped by the power of community. Everywhere we have lived, from Massachusetts to Philadelphia, Haiti to Durham, the concept of neighborhood and community has rung true. Different places, same lesson: belonging takes root where people gather. The people on your block were your family, by blood or by bond. Katyé is built from that spirit. It’s more than a lounge; it’s a gathering place where connection feels natural, and where everyone who steps inside belongs.
