Kermits is part of the musical fabric of New Orleans and central to its musical history and musicality. If you want to enjoy true NOLA Hospitality, food, and down right great music among down to earth real folks make sure you visit Kermits.Alexander F. Ming JP.BFC.CPA.Real Talk

Great music (live or juke box) and relaxing vibe. Outdoor and indoor lounge. Go for the vast range of premium spirits!

Family af, if you dont nola, you dont know :)Bartender was friendly and fast, and crowd was welcoming and relaxed. Great place to meet some amazing musicians!

They need to expand for more room.it can be a great place bigger

Came all the way from Philly to New Orleans and met one of my idols unexpectedly, we were just stopping here while in the neighborhood to get drinks turned around and the great Kermit Ruffin was in house!! Needless to say that this brother greeted me like I was a local and the people that was in the bar was really cool. The music was just our speed nice R & B flow. The drinks were not watered down and the prices were just right. I will definitely be back!!

Do you like live jazz? This is the best spot you can go for a Thursday night in NOLA. On our visit Kermit played, along with James Winfield and many other surprise guests, and served up delicious red beans and rice to a small audience. Kermit and everyone there were incredibly friendly and we had a great time. Highly recommend checking it out!

Grew up in Treme and I just love the culture

First time I really enjoyed the vibe was great.

The most fun I had in a week in New Orleans. Went on a Monday. Briefly felt like the conspicuous white tourist, but nobody cared. Kermit was friendly. Other musicians were friendly. Food was good. Music was great. Wouldve stayed a lot later but my wife got drunk and silly. Kermits food didnt give me diarrhea!

I absolutely LOVED this place. Everytime I come to N.O. Im coming here!!! Kermit is awesome!

Amazing!!! Great place, owned by a NOLA legend. Must visit. And still has a pay phone.

Reasonable drinks, good food and wonderful music. Kermit Ruffins the owner is a sweet guy and smooth on the brass. Go there on a Thursday around 7pm for an awesome show by him and his band. The guy on the keys was a favorite for me along with Kermit. I seen Kermit on the tv show Treme and visited New Orleans especially to see him and the Treme area.

Caught Kermits Monday night show. The music was great but the complimentary red beans and rice were truly out of this world, the greatest thing Ive eaten in two trips to New Orleans. Simply amazing.

Amazing music, great drinks and unbelievable food. What a night! Go. You wont regret it.

It is a wonderful New Orleans experience, lots of culture, Mr Kermit (owner) is one of a kind, I met him twice and it was a pleasure meeting him, he has a big heart

A must see in New Orleans for jazz! Like visiting someones living room club!

Kermits Mother in Laws is a lot of fun. You may have to step out of your suburban comfort zone, but its absolutely worth it and the people are welcoming. Its a no-frills. maybe standing room only backyard BBQ feel in the side lot, extra strong cheap drinks and the best party jazz in the city. Will be back every time we visit New Orleans.

The atmosphere was great, the music was phenomenal and the company was priceless!

Stellar place to get some funk and a beer. Listen to music and enjoy the ambiance.

Great atmosphere and delicious food!

The atmosphere was Great.Everyone was sociable,smiling and engaging.We loved the fried fish.I would recommend this Great Place to everyone..Thanks Kermit

Enjoying Second Lion performance at Kermit Ruffins Mother in Law Lounge in the courtyard...

The atmosphere was very good the music was wonderful

It was fun, safe and I liked the fact that were two modes: One could be inside for one musical groove and go outside for another. Staff was professional and inviting. Food abs drinks were good. Predominantly African American and local clientele.

Its an ok club. Bit boring to me plus they charge 10$ for men to get in Sundays which isnt worth it. I suggest going to The Hideaway, Its a block away also 10$ yet way better value far as the experience, food & drinks go. Also The Hideaway is a lot more spacious. Should go to both and make your comparisons. Yet as far as value goes The Hideaway is better in my book if your going to pay a cover fee.

Crowded on a monday night for all the right reasons. What a gem. Kermitt I love you more today than yesterday!

What a fun atmosphère. Went here on a Sunday evening and the to be continued brass band was playing and wow did they know how to put on a good show. Drinks are strong and cheap and Ill definitely be back!

Always a great time here. Music is awesome, and the hospitality is on point!

So much fun. The owner was very nice. Will be back when I visit from ATL

Ambiance is a whole Vibe!

LOVE this place! Such a relaxed environment with amazing art work throughout. Mr Kermit himself is so down to earth and genuinely nice. Great place to also hear a great live band. You really get a feel for New Orleans here.

Great atmosphere. Large outside area for a breezy New Orleans evening and a cocktail!

Damn fine establishment. Everyone says hello, and they were happy to be alive. Loved it. Cant wait to go back

Ridiculously strong drinks, great people and some of the best music NoLa has to offer!

Kermit and his bar are just the best. Happily spent all my money here!

I had a great time. The crowd was a nice size, and the live band was great. The drinks were NOT watered down.

Me & my Wife Had a great time..

I love Kermits. The drinks are good, the people are great. Kermit himself is often there and hes a very genuine person. Sunday night was a brass band, most fun Ive had since second line season.

Be prepared to wait! The wait is SO worth it. The iced coffee is amazing but these are hands down the best eggs Benedict Ive ever had. They have an entire section on their menu of different Benedicts. I mixed and matched and you cant go wrong.

Being from out of state was looking for a true New Orleans Jazz experience. Kermit was referred by a local person who said if you want real jazz you have to hit Kermit Monday night for BBQ and real jazz. Better than what you find in the French Quarter. When we arrived the person at the door surprised my group with a $20 fee. Seemed reasonable though it included BBQ and 3 bands she explains. She failed to mention that the last band was performing and the BBQ was in the back corner in pots. It was not BBQ it was fried chicken, mac and cheese, and beans.Was being open so went up to the server and he gave me chicken and Mac and cheese with no beans. We explained the concern with the gal who took our money. She yelled at the server said give them more food. She also told friend just yell at him. Was like wow. Friend grabbed some beans. When she tried grabbing more mac and cheese he said NO. So the other friends didnt even try to get some beans. Went into mens bathroom after to wash hands. They had soap, however rest room smells like urine. No paper towels and no toilet paper, again surprised. Was very disappointed in the entire experience and didnt appreciate being miss lead to believing that we would see three bands and a decent BBQ. I have never given 1 Star but this place was just not what we were told it would be Poor customer service experience and filthy conditions.

Love it. Kermit always puts on a full experience with other musicians from the area, including Grammy award winning musicians.

Kermits Mother in law lounge Historical in that it was once owned by Mr. Mother n law himself Ernie K-Doe. Good time for all to had. I seem to always miss the crowd but from the look of the joint afterwards everyone had a good time. Catch Kermit Ruff there on Tuesday and Thursday. He even got his daughter jamming there a couple times a week and she too is good.

Real New Orleans. Kermit hangs out in there. Cue is a wonderful barmaid. Saw two big girls fist fighting outside. Good food under the interstate

The Halloween Party on Oct. 26, 2019 was lit cant wait til next year

Great music food and drinks

This is an authentic place where you will feel right at home! Best local bar to grab a drink and listen to awesome live jazz music.

I always enjoy when I come to New Orleans have a ball great amosphere great music just Loveeee it

Kermits place has the best music and people in New Orleans. Youll be glad you went. He is super nice and all of the people around him are fantastic. He is just a happy guy who loves to have a great time. Hes got the world on a string and does a mean version of that tune. Q, Danielle, Nikki, Kabuki, and dirty rice (a serious chef) all treat you like family. Kermit plays on Mondays. Kermits band is top notch. He is not just a world class trumpet player with a one of a kind tone and a complete knowledge of NOLA classic music, but a great singer and showman. He also plays Get there early if its winter or raining as the bar is small and the seats go fast. If its nice, they will be in the huge backyard where there is a stage and a tiki bar. Thats the place to be on a nice night. Kermit is a chef who plays music on the side, so there is always fantastic real NOLA food cooked by Kermit himself and dirty rice that is on the house.

The best place in town to grab a beer and see music.

This Monday night was a tribute jam session honoring Dr.John. Mondays always feature free red beans and rice plus free music. Great mixed crowd. EZ parking under the overpass.

Great little venue, and Kermit is a born entertainer. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the city!

Always great times at Kermit That Part That Way

Funkiest New Orleans neighborhood bar you could ever want, Kermit is the man!

Went for a night of jazz and ended up meeting Troy Andrews (Trombone Shorty)! Fantastic Place!

The best atmosphere of any bar in the city. Red beans and rice , good beer ,and Kermit and Co. Rocked the place. Unmissable.

Had a blast baaaby!!! This Ga Peach will be back soon!!!

The live music and the atmosphere there was unreal. Very diverse crowd.

Its a golden opportunity to in the community and the culture it so mix and vibrant. Its the place to be. A real must see

You should not visit New Orleans without visiting. If Kermit is playing, it is a must see situation. Friendly people, good drinks, and great music!

If you do nothing else in New Orleans go here and get some real local vibes! Dope spot

Good music, good drinks, good time;

I had the greatest fun i had in a long time. Brass band was TBC and did theyre thing. An experience ive never had before happened that night. The only issue i had was the food was waaaaaaay over priced. Surely i didnt get what i paid for while everthing tasted averaged at best.

Let me see if you going to make it pop ctc. Bring for da home ground

When he has a good band a nice place to visit fun atmosphere variety of all types of people will be there

Fun hole in the wall. They have a good dj inside and large patio area out back for the crowds(usually a young crowd). Sometime serve free food (good idea to tip when they do as a nice thank you). They have a very famous and talented musician who is the owner. Nice man. Good hospitality. Will go again and again!

Them fried shrimp baskets are the truth... Glad I experienced this place during my brief trip to NOLA

Was there for a listening party for Jake Exavier. Had a great time

Good local spot, good music and food

Very laid back and chill place there is usually always some type of complimentary food there.while the bar itself is relatively small there is a huge outside area

Its a nice place with friendly service and decent prices

The Desert of Kansas had their hospitality room here during the 2018 Imperial. The music was excellent. We got to eat some good New Orleans food.

The place to be in New Orleans. The place was packed with friendly faces and the party was on and poppin. Who Dat!

Had a blast

We happened to go there the Monday around jazz fest. Kermit was playing with his band. It was truly a great New Orleans experience... I cant wait until next year.

Its a nice chill place love to go on sundays and see TBC brass band play its like a family feel its a mix of young and old

Kermit bar is the bar to go to anytime of the day, its a awesome place to enjoy yourself.

Culture, Tradition,music,food, live entertainment, GOOD Location, roomy,, Kermit himself is a Gracious Host.

ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME !! HE KNOWS HOW TO TREAT HIS COUSTOMERS

Great time.The live band is awesome.

It looks a little hood on the outside but dont be afraid. All cultures congregate here and the yard is amazing under the stars

I love the vibe here. Drink are reasonable; that Grad Marnier margarita hitting. The food in back was good, but Kemit more live music,lol you a musician you know that

A TRUE New Orleans experience. Thank you Spodi, Kermit, Sleeping Giant and Trombone Charlie, just to mention a few. Nailed it.

Visited during the Treme/7thWard Arts and Cultural Festival. Had a blast!

Cool little bar with a cute kitchen on the weekends with good food for a fair price

Always a great time. Jazz music legends one after another on a regular basis

Local spot. Gotta love it

Always a great time, love the patio area with sound stage which host great live entertainment for your listening pleasure.

Great food friendly service.

Loud, raucuss, and crazy, but if you like that sort of thing, and arent put off by people of color, and dont like paying a fortune for a beer, you might just have a good time there! Mileage may vary...

Very laid back and chill place there is usually always some type of complimentary food there.while the bar itself is relatively small there is a huge outside area

NCool place had a whiskey sour and enjoyed the nostalgic deco

Kermits place is definitely worth a visit to see live music, DJs or just have a beer. Food on offer from the kitchen and even better if you can be there when Kermit is working the BBQ.

Bartender was smoking a blunt inside. Toilet didnt work. CNN at fill volume. Ive heard great things about this place, I was even told not to come home from NOLA without stopping in here. Im not sure what I missed, or if its just not a good 2PM on Week day bar.

Really great spot very low key

Great music.... Friendly staff... Down home NOLA feel.

I love DA vibe

Always great good music mix crowd everyone gets along together

Chill spot. Good food

Amazing music! Kermit is a great host!!

Mr.Kermit treat all his customers with a friendly warm welcome beautiful hospitality...
