Hermes Bar - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Perfect place to sit people watch and enjoy amazing Nola food . Service has always been friendly and attentive my wife and I really enjoy our dining experience every time we visit .

Great food!! I loved the French onion soup. Funny...we were just there the last week of August and Hermes bar was closed. It's too bad because we really wanted to try the oysters.

Nice quiet cool elegant spot for an afternoon drink and appetizers. Try the dark rum old fashioned.

This is the bar of Antoine's and they offer their own menu (with some limited offerings from Antoine's). This is a great space and they make great drinks. I've always enjoyed myself here and it is a great place for a quick lunch (or a long one). My only complaint would be they are a bit haphazard with what you can and can't order off of the Antoine's menu. If you want to sample some of Antoine's food without the full formal dining experience (but that is a big part of the experience!!!) then this will be a good introduction. This is a great place for couples and groups.

Classic New Orleans bar located in the French Quarter. Andrew and Micheal are great bartenders. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. They have great cocktails. Beautifully decorated. Friendly bartenders. Great happy hour Monday to Friday.

This place was awesome. Came here to check out the oyster per someone's recommendation. Came in at lunch time and the service plus atmosphere were phenomenal. Oysters were delicious, highly recommend the charbroiled.

This place is amazing!! Chad and the staff are exceptional at creating a welcoming experience. Drinks are amazing. Food is superb. Prices are a steal. Definitely stop by before dinners reservations at Antoine's or just for fun! Highly recommended 👌

So this place is actually highly recommended. Went for happy hour. Staff were great friendly. Nice old French decor. Drinks were good. We ordered 2 items. The shrimp on the happy hour menu was fantastic. But we shared a Gumbo. Very disappointed. Sauce/broth was very good But where was the shrimp oysters and crab? And the bread was a soft airy non descriptive thing. No flavour or texture. I thought Antoine’s was French high end cuisine. Won’t go back. I mentioned my disappointment And didn’t get much of a response.

No happy hour on Friday, please update your website. No email contact point on your website either. Disappointed locals. Edit: I visited this past Friday 12/29 shortly after 5:00 p.m. and was told by the bartender that there is no longer happy hour on Fridays, he specifically said it was 'Mon-Thurs only'. After I mentioned it was on the website, I was told 'managers have not updated the website despite complaints'. I witnessed this story told to other patrons as well (before 6pm.) Clearly there is a disconnect somewhere. Perhaps he thought I was a tourist and could just flat out lie to me. Which is even worse.

Seriously the BEST jambalaya I have ever had. The food is absolutely delicious, I would highly recommend stopping!

This was a great spot for a bottle of wine and some good food. Randall at the bar took great care of my friend and I as we tried a few appetizers and some Pompano. The Chargrilled Oysters were delicious and the Pompano was light and well prepared. The soufflé potatoes- those were a miss, no seasoning and served with what I think was a butter that had some parsley but no seasoning. Overall a great find and the oldest family owned restaurant in the country as it is attached to Antoine’s.

Disappointing. Service was absolutely terrible last night. We wanted to eat at the restaurant (Antoine's) but got there around 8:40 and they told us they can't serve us unless we eat at the bar. Who closes so early on a Friday?! Anyways, we went to the bar and ordered food. We ordered a bowl of soup, they brought a cup instead. We ordered the waygu steak and instead we got the filet with vin. We asked them when they brought the stake if that was the waygu as it didn't look right and they said yes. We tasted it and we knew it wasn't. We went again to the bartenders and asked what they ordered for us and they finally admitted the mistake. They brought us the waygu a few minutes later and IT WAS almost COLD. What the heck?! That's a $75 stake! When I first sat at the bar, there were crumbles all over the place from a previous person, I moved them myself with my hand and the bartender just looked at me and didn't bother to clean them. It was beyond disappointing!

Hermes Bar is one of my “goto” places when in town. Grilled oysters washed down by a cold martini is my standard order. Service is excellent as is conversation at the bar.

Great for cocktails and appetizers. Colin was our server. He was funny and helpful. Try the chicken cordon blue sliders!!!!

As soon as we sat down the server brought us menus and took our drink order. As I opened my menu a roach fell out of it and ran across the table into my lap and. I know the French Quarters has many different types of bugs and rodents. I know establishments fight to keep them away, but I don't need to see a roach run across my lap. After that incident we decided to pass on ordering food. The drinks we received were good, but we won't be returning.

What a Great place to go and have a full service fine dining experience without the fussy dress code. Desire, Shai, and Ally worked well as a team and even with a completely full bar area handled perfectly. I can't wait to move back and make this my go to spot. It has all of the viewing of the antics and shenanigans of Burbon Street with the quiet and safety of not being on it. We of course had to get all of the Classics: Soufflé Potatoes, Seafood Gumbo, Oysters Rockafeller and Char-Grilled, and for the Finally The Baked Alaska! If you're with friends, get the BIG ONE as opposed to the Individual, you'll thank me later. One more item that we had was the Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders, if they're on the menu, I highly suggest them. I didn't look at the menu while seated. It was only afterwards my friend said the Château was avaliable. It's a steal, a Filet for 2 - 3 (20oz) Cooked and sliced with 2 sauces and Brabant Potatoes with Mushrooms. But this is on the list for my next trip. Again, there is no dress code to have a Grand True NOLA Experience, which I highly recommend!

Hermes is a great New Orleans bar. So much history has taken place here. Really good cocktails, a warm atmosphere. You can also order off the Antoine’s menu and be served right at the bar. A good spot to visit.

There is absolutely no atmosphere in this bar. The drinks were fine but the chairs are wobbly, the crowd is rowdy, and there was a ballgame on the television. How can a historic restaurant have such a lousy bar?

Just had drink and cup of gumbo but very good.

Great place! Amazing atmosphere! Cedric was awesome! I highly recommend this place when in NOLA!!

Hermes Bar is an overshadowed wonder bar. Attach to Antoine's, it's a fantastic maker of classic cocktails. The French 75 is among the best I've had across the planet. The bar room is spacious and welcoming. Staff might not be the most personable but they're friendly enough and make a mean cocktail. It's an underrated must visit bar.

First they didn’t know how to make an espresso martini and were arguing with how they make it, then served me a grey goose cosmo and told me she didn’t have the proper jigger to measure it appropriately? I was served lime juice flavored with a dash of vodka. Then charged me $19, and when I asked why there’s an up charge “it was for the extras that go into a martini.” Completely out of it, dysfunctional, unethical and I did not even drink my drink it was that bad. Avoid this place at all costs.

We couldn't make it on time for Antoine's so we settled for Hermes to have some drinks & snacks. Service was on point. Food ordered was good.

We were looking for a place to have a drink and some quick bites while walking around the quarter. The food we ordered from the menu was quite awful. We did not finish any of it which says alot since we were hungry and drinking. Giving this 3 stars though because on the positive side our server was super friendly and the drinks were decent. Stop in for a drink but save your $ for food elsewhere.

Love love love Hermes, go there as often as possible. The char grilled oysters are stellar, along with a Sazerac or Sidecar to drink for a wonderful start to any evening. The staff and atmosphere is always top notch.

Nice, historic bar with good drinks and atmosphere. Had appetizers only, which were very average at best.

Busy. Great place to meet people.

Shi and Desiree were so helpful, kind and generous with their time! I loved spending time in this bar before and after dinner. Will be back for sure!

We had a very impromptu dinner here early on a recent Thurs. when we were in NOLA for a vacation. We decided to just walk in without any reservation on our anniversary. We were in a casual mood, so we passed by their formal dining room with the white tablecloths and peeked into the bar, Hermes, which is a very attractive, warm and elegant atmosphere with lots of polished wood,, so we didn't feel like we were downgrading by dining in the bar, and we took seats at one of their tall cocktail tables and were greeted immediately by our friendly server. We were delighted when she told us that the menu was the same as the dining room. For starters, and to toast our anniversary, I had a French 75 cocktail and husband had a Sazerac. Both were very enjoyable. We also had a really interesting potato appetizer that was so delicious and unique. They fry very thin slices of potato and make them puff up somehow in a beautiful shape. It's almost like a hollow french fried potato balloon. It is accompanied by a very nice dip. Super delish. I chose the almond encrusted trout for my entree, and my husband had the wagyu beef burger. Both came with sides that had not been mentioned on the menu, so that was nice and made it even better value. We both raved about our selections, and shared bites. Side salad was delicious, too. I'm already craving a repeat of this entire meal! I also had a glass of Hartford House Russian River Valley Chardonnay, and I couldn't wait to find out if my local wine store carried it, I liked it so much. In short, the service, drinks and food were excellent. Perfect, really. Other employees in addition to our server stopped by our table to check on things, as well, but the service never felt hovering. Also, we noticed others celebrating birthdays and anniversaries as well. It was so convivial. Many congratulations went around, and it was just a delightful experience all around. Can't wait to return if we make it back to NOLA.

We are actually not even drinkers but have been to Antoine's restaurant, which is connected to the bar, many times and we always enjoy walking into the bar just to look at it or to get a non alcoholic drink. Either way it is a neat classic , old New Orleans kind of place that is worth a visit.

The trout almondine was fantastic! But the green beans were frozen, lol

Murphy was the best server you can possibly ask for. Rich with knowledge and kind candor. I would come back just for service from him besides the great food.

Wonderful classic cocktail bar in the heart of the French Quarter! Delightful cocktails served up by a wonderfully accommodating staff. ❤️

Disappointing, definitely not a cocktail bar. Came in early Saturday evening and ordered a couple of classic cocktails off the menu, expecting well made drinks. The bartender made them with the same care as a gin and tonic. After a haphazard pour, she swirled the cocktail shaker for a couple of seconds and then poured. All the drinks were made this way by 4 different bartenders, including a cocktail (French 75) that wasn't even chilled. It may sound like nitpicking, but this is a high-end bar attached to one of the most famous high-end restaurants in a cocktail focused city. I expected much better. They should start by training their staff.

I have to say this is absolutely my favorite place to hang out in all of the French quarter. The wait staff are some of the best I’ve ever come across and the owners aren’t too shabby themselves. I want to thank Hermes bar and Antoine‘s for always providing me with excellent memories and experiences.

Bon établissement pour le café brulot

Das Essen war lecker aber für den hohen Preis hätte ich noch etwas besseres erwartet.

Perfect place to sit at the bar, enjoy some oysters and a Scotch. Service was excellent

This place IS MAGICAL!!! The door is a timewarp!!

Great drinks bartender is awesome

Best food in the quarter! I was traveling alone and the staff was great company, they really had me laughing. I've also had escargot all over this country and nothing is more authentic than this dish, so tender and savory. They also don't charge an arm and a leg for good champagne, which was refreshing! I will definitely be back next time I'm in New Orleans!

Excellent service! They clearly pride themselves on old fashioned professional bar service. Worth any extra the drinks cost.

Its one of the oldest buildings in new Orleans, we had an amazing experience at the bar, the service, the drinks and the food were great, especially the potatos. The atmosphere was wonderful and the prices were resonable. We even had the chance to have the coffee diabolique, that is normaly just served at the restaurant. It was wonderful and one of our Highlights !

I had the Oysters Rockefeller today and it was horrible. First time I have been disappointed at Hermes

Despite calling and confirming with the hostess~the bar DOES NOT SERVE THE CAFÉ BRULOT DIABOLIQUE, only the restaurant does.

Beautiful bar with friendly service and comfortable ambience. Plan to eat in the restaurant next trip to NOLA.

The hostes, bartender, and waitress Megan were all more than accommodating. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here and trying out the classical atmosphere they provide!!!! The food was great! I liked eating at the bar too.

Great service. Great food. Need I say more?

Delicious food and amazing knowledgeable staff!!

Randomly stopped here for a drink during the week and it was such a nice old-world vibe. Very laid back, classic jazz music playing, and great drinks. A nice reprieve if you want a classy/mature experience in the French Quarter.

Exquisite food, lovely atmosphere and wonderful service!

IAN was an excellent server. Megan was his helper and she was very attentive to our needs especially sharing the history of the bar and their traditions. The food was outstanding.

Good service, excellent drink selection. Great for people watching

Best Martinis in Sazerac in Town & the bar menu is fantastic.

Charming atmosphere. Prompt waiter. Great drinks. Wonderful bathrooms. Perfect central quarter location. Great place to grab a drink after a parade!

I came here a couple times while I was in NOLA for a conference, and then I came back when I was visiting for pleasure. Their French happy hour is a great deal! Their cocktails and wine specials make it a great value. Outside of happy hour it is a little expensive, and while I enjoyed myself I would probably only go back for happy hour.

What a great place. Loved all the rooms and dinner was awesome

Good Happy hour specials. Crab cardinal was yummy.

Wanted to go to Antoine's for lunch but they were only serving the lunch special which didn't interest us so ended up on their bar Hermes for a drink and small bites. The food was good and we had a good time.

Great happy hour deals from 4pm to 7pm.

Very nice. Small and intimate. Great bartenders.

Good classy spot when you want a drink and nice appetizer.

They know what they’re doing here. Recommended.

An old charming bar to have great cocktails on the bourbon Street. Got introduced to Sazerac here and it was brilliant. Not many vegetarian options for food but cheese gougeres is a safe choice.

Cool bar. Lots of nice drinks. Good atmosphere. They had some good deals on when we were there on a Thursday night. Cool place to hangout if you want somewhere that is not too busy. Very nice bar service.

I was in New Orleans for work and saw reviews of Antoine’s, I was not disappointed! I sat in the very comfortable and old school bar. The bartender was outstanding, very helpful and informative about all items on menu. There is a bar menu, but ask for full menu if you are looking for their very unique entrees. I decided on the lamb, that had an amazing pineapple sauce. I’ll definitely go back on return trips to the city.

The best Side Car ever. Great service in the bar. Great food served in the bar. Great, friendly staff.

Excellent cocktails. Feels elegant without being stuffy.

The Wagyu Beef Cheeseburger Po-Boy is not to be missed. Get it rare and it will blow your mind.

Home of the Herme's Krewe for Mardi Gras. Excellent craft cocktails. Between Royal and Bourbon. Great Family business. Longest lasting family business in the USA. FREE TOURS TIP YOUR GUIDE BETWEEN 2-5PM DAILY.

Awesome!!!. Great food & drinks. Friendly staff. Love this place!

Would definitely come back here

To dine in Antonio's wear a jacket Good selection of wines and whiskey if you want to relax

Love this place. The Drink, food and Service is always so in inviting.

Do not miss this stop, Oysters Rockefeller.

Great enviroment, wonderful friendly staff. I will recomend it and defenitly will comeback

Historic and beautiful. Stop in and enjoy some tasty cocktails with the history

We had a private room and everything was just perfect oh, there was even a small band.

Soft Shell Crab, best on the planet!

Friendly atmosphere with exceptional service!

Great atmosphere and drinks are well done- try the restaurant too!

WHO DAT! SAZARACKS ARE AWESOME! GO SAINTS!

This is the only place in the world where you should drink a Ramos Gin Fizz. Sorry bar staff.

Wonderful service, delicious food and spirits!!

Recommendations by our server were right on -botj for drinks and dinner. Wife loved the sole and my crawfish were perfect. And, yeah! for the oysters Rockefeller.

You have to come check out this bar and the history behind it...visited this on the walking cocktail tour and was very impressed with our stop here!!

My rest stop place during Mardi gras day

A place to relax from the hubbub of New Orleans.

Awesome staff and excellent drinks. Great place to sit and enjoy the game!

Went with a walking tour of bars in the Quarter. So so, wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

Where you get a correct hurricane

Went there at 1pm on a Sunday. Great place to sit and get out of the heat/humidity. Excellent cocktails.

Great bartenders and great drinks!

Best dessert I ever had you have to try it

The place is beautiful. They have the full menu as the restaurant so that is why wr ate in the bar and not the dining room. The food we had was great. We only had apperizers, but it was worth the money. It was expensive , but not the highest. Our waitress was horrible though. The other ladies in the bar area were great, so we were still taken care of. Chances are you will recieve quality sevice, unless you are lucky like we were.

This was my go to spot for happy hour, I was very impressed with the staff and bartenders. Was introduced to a new favorite local beer there , and ordered it everywhere I went. Dixie beer is sooooo good thanks for the recommendation. I really wish I could remember his name but again it was happy hour.

The oysters Rockefeller is one of the best things I've ever put into my mouth. The souffle potatoes were great. Amazing remoulade.

Great bar. Great bar tender. Shout out to Jessie

Really great food and drinks. I sat at the bar during happy hour. I tried both Sazeracs, rye and congac. I liked the congac better. I ordered Oysters Rockefeller and Shrimp Remoulade appetizers (pictured). Both were great. I dont remember the other drink, but it was good. Fun little place to eat.

Nothing better than the AC and Pimm's Cup here when you running FQ errands!
