The Litty Kitty Bar Opening Soon in Naples

NAPLES, FL - The Litty Kitty, a new neighborhood bar concept from Jamy Donnelly and partners Sandra Kissel and Marc During, is targeting a May 1 opening at 5023 Tamiami Trl E, Naples, FL 34113. Donnelly told Business Debut the concept is designed as a relaxed, community-focused bar with retro entertainment, simple bar food, and a strong welcome for hospitality workers and first responders.

The team describes the concept as an “upscale dive,” pairing a playful cat-themed atmosphere with approachable drinks, games, and live music.

What to Expect

Guests can expect a colorful bar environment filled with neon lighting, cat-themed décor, and retro arcade games including classics like Ms. Pac-Man, Frogger, and Gauntlet. The space will also feature dart machines, gambling machines, and a small outdoor courtyard with a stage for live music.

The bar will seat about 15 guests at the bar with additional indoor and outdoor seating, totaling roughly 50 guests when full. The concept is intentionally designed to feel small and intimate, creating a casual neighborhood hangout.

Donnelly said the team wants the space to be a welcoming spot for people finishing long workdays. “We want first responders, hospitality workers, plumbers, electricians, and the people who work for a living to have a place they can come relax,” Donnelly told Business Debut.

Menu and Vision

The Litty Kitty will focus on straightforward bar food with a few standout items. The menu is expected to include wings, hot dogs, smash burgers with house “kitty sauce,” and pizza.

The wings will feature both sauces and dry rubs, including Cajun, barbecue, lemon pepper, buffalo, teriyaki, and barbecue sauce options. Guests will also find customizable hot dogs, including Skyline chili-style and Chicago-style builds.

The bar program will include classic drinks along with a signature cocktail called the “Litty Kitty,” which the team plans to develop ahead of opening.

A major part of the concept is supporting hospitality workers. The bar will offer a 10 percent discount for anyone working in the hospitality industry, available every day and at all hours.

The partners all bring backgrounds in entertainment and hospitality and said the project marks their first independent restaurant venture.
