Kermit's Tremé Mother-in-Law Lounge

"With bright and jazzy murals covering every square inch of its colorful exterior, the Mother-in-Law shouts out its pride of family and music and the neighborhood that connects them. Founded by local musician Ernie K. Doe and named for his 1961 number one hit “Mother-in-Law,” the bar and patio now continues its musical stewardship under trumpet legend Kermit Ruffins who regularly plays here. Lagniappe like free crawfish boils or red beans and rice is common." - Eater Staff

"Though just called Mother-in-Law Lounge in the show, the Mardi Gras Indians have a meeting at Kermit Ruffins’ beloved Treme bar and music venue." - Missy Frederick

"Kermit Ruffins is cutting hours at his Treme bar and music venue, opening only on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. and on Saturdays at 6 p.m. for his weekly performance. Besides those two days, the bar will open for private events only all summer." - Clair Lorell

"You could mistake Kermit’s for any neighborhood corner store selling fried catfish or chicken, but this is one of the best bars to see some excellent live music. This place is literally always a party—owned by a New Orleans jazz legend, it’s where you’ll find some of the city’s top musicians playing a solo piano set and big brass bands doing their thing on Sunday. The drinks are dive bar quality, but you’re here for the music and to eat some chargrilled oysters, hot sausage, or gumbo, possibly cooked by Kermit himself. The outside colorful mural pays homage to the former owner, the late Ernie K-Doe, another New Orleans legend.  " - team infatuation, zella palmer
