About this place La Te Da

La Te Da occupies a historic property at the southern end of Duval Street that has been a centre of Key West's gay social life since the 1970s. The complex includes the La Te Da hotel, the Crystal Room upstairs cabaret venue, the downstairs garden bar, and the rooftop bar — a layered social space that operates at multiple registers simultaneously. The Crystal Room is the finest cabaret venue in Key West: it has hosted Jimmy Buffett in his early career, nationally recognised drag performers, and a consistent programme of quality entertainment across its decades of operation. The format is different from 801 Bourbon's high-energy drag bar: La Te Da aims for something more intimate, more theatrical, and more oriented toward the visitor who wants to sit at a table with a proper cocktail and watch a well-produced show. The garden bar at ground level is one of Key West's most pleasant outdoor drinking spaces — tropical plantings, the ambient noise of the street filtered through the vegetation, the specific pleasure of drinking in a garden in a subtropical city. La Te Da is the correct choice for a gay couple seeking a special evening rather than a bar crawl, or for visitors who want the best of what Key West's entertainment tradition has produced.

One of my favorite places to go, the food, atmosphere and staff are awesome. I went to the Randy Roberts show twice and loved it! I definitely recommend seeing it. So much talent and tons of laughs.

We've been coming to LaTeDa for over 2 decades. We've enjoyed the wonderful meals at the restaurant and music from the piano lounge. We specifically return to watch Randy Roberts amazing performances. We first saw him over 20 years ago...and most recently last week...we love him!

La Te Da is one of those places that captures everything people love about Key West. We have been going there for years when we visit Key West. The happy hour is fantastic, with great cocktails, a welcoming staff, and the perfect vibe to kick off an evening on Duval Street. It's the kind of place where you plan to stop in for a drink and end up staying for hours. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. If you're visiting Key West, La Te Da is a must-visit. Great food, an amazing happy hour, and an unforgettable atmosphere make it one of the best spots on the island. Highly recommended!
