Hermes Bar - Bar in New Orleans - 725 St Louis St, USA

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
