We attended Saturday's Ashley Trio benefit concert and we did enjoy good music. However, there's no buffet which we were looking forward to. When we booked our concert ticket, we also reserved for the buffet. We asked the receptionist at the door about the buffet and she said when they serve it will be near the stage. They were supposed to serve at 5:30 pm and it was 6:30 pm already and no one informed us that it will not be served that night and there's no advisory in the website as well. No one seems to know the reason why the buffet was not served. We just ordered food from the bar and the lady who served us informed that they don't have the beef from the menu and only the burgers were available. When the bill came, there were miscalculations though it was corrected. To be better prepared with dinner options, I recommend calling them to inquire and don't rely on their website only or better yet have dinner in your fave restaurant before going to the concert.
Live local music.. Jazz, R&B, Blues, excellent performers and entertainment. Excellent staff!!!
Great music.
Miguelito Valdez Quartet was so much fun, great entertainer. Dinner was excellent, chef knows how to prepare pasta dish.
Beautiful club with great live music, ambience, sightlines, drinks and dining
Food was great. Service was excellent. Even with covid-19 protocols they made it a welcoming enjoyable atmosphere. Of course the music was fantastic
Nice local players on a regular basis.
Very relaxed atmosphere at Hermann's, one of Victoria's best jazz bars. We came here on a Saturday night and got tickets to check out John Lee Trio (very talented group). Unpretentious place, with decently priced drinks. Good acoustics as well - service is just alright.
wonderful atmosphere for having a glass of wine and listening to some seriously good music.
Excellent music, delicious food
Really good time music.
Great music, friendly staff and a comfortable venue. What else could you want? Oh yeah.... reasonably priced drinks! Didn't have any food this time but will when we return
I was here last a while back but I have been dying to come again ever since! It was an amazing experience
Absolutely recommend Hermanns for an evening of live music. You don't have to be a jazz fan to love what they put out. I try to go EVERY time I'm in Victoria. Only thing... booking tix online, they only accept PayPal. PayPal sucks and you need alternatives. I tried calling, emailing and even went there the day before to buy tix, but the volunteer staff were clueless. Sorry, but you are running a business which just about went out of business recently... get a better booking system!!!
Great food, amazing staff, and unbelievable music. 10/10 Every time.
Events are always good here and the service too
Absolutely fabulous live streams!
I've never had that much fun in my life!! Love the live music, and the new chef is fantastic!!
Definitely one of the grossest restaurants in the city. The food was incredibly bland, over cooked and overall just the worst experience I've ever had living in Victoria for almost a decade. It's almost like the chef is not even on this planet. If you want to eat sub par food at a price point way to high for what you get, then by all means come here and eat. If you want to eat a well thought out meal, go elsewhere.
Very friendly service, great drinks and fine evening of music. Didn't order food but it sure looked good!
Love the great music and casual environment.
Hermann's is one of the beat music venues in Victoria! The staff is great and the food is delicious. Sit down and enjoy the great shows or weekly jazz jams.
Wonderful bands, atmosphere, multi aged crowd, good food. Many fine musicians showing up here.... it's a fun place????
Great food and amazing performances, a must attend for a jazz fan!
Very jazzy club
The show was fantastic, my only complaint was that I tried ordering a couple different things off their menu and they were out of a lot of items. The water is also quite brackish. Totally worth going for the live music though, it’s truly one of a kind.
This is a gem of a place to watch some of the best music Victoria has to offer. The space is intimate, the sound is great, and the staff are super friendly. Their full bar and kitchen with a decent menu adds to the experience. We saw The Nick La Riviere Band there last night and they absolutely killed. If you get a chance to see them, GO!
Good place to hear quality jazz music. New chef, so good now much improved
Love this place. Hidden gem if you love jazz and a chill atmosphere
5 stars for the band, 3 for the grumpy lady bartender.
I felt safe, well done to separate everyone The music was the greatest Thank you
Good music, good food.
The website didn't emphasize that the dinner is a buffet. I got there after the buffet was over and was served a Chef's plate. I enjoyed some great live music with my meal that I would characterize as blues rather than jazz.
Such history!
Great live jazz, awesome service just lacking in options for vegans but accommodated my needs
First experience here last night, incredible performances and great vibes.
This evening, go at this wonderful place in Victoria, Hermann's Jazz Club. Sarurday 1st June 2019,at 8hpm, Hermann's Jazz Club présents CALUM GRAHAM His way of touching the strings of a guitar belongs only to him. His New CD is full of Grace and Lumière, like all his songs. GO AND SEE CALUM GRAHAM, your soul will be touched when you 'll listen the rythm, and each note of his guitar flying in the air. To night the weather will be hanging on with the artist CALUM Graham. Don' t miss Calum Graham, he has a huge talent. Good evening and standing ovations for Calum Graham.
Always great music, not a fine dining experience but pretty good
I have been enjoying the Jazz club for many years,great musicians from all over the world play here.Small cozy club.
Love Hermans!! Great show by Maria Manna
Hermann's Upstairs. Had tix for the Groove Kitchen. Website and tix said doors open at 7 . We had to wait. The room itself is small, more dancefloor than seating area. Awkward. CASH Bar only.. There are ATMs. However, once they open the whole area upstairs, it should be okay.
Amazing night out. Great sound, atmosphere, fun performance and incredible music. Big thumbs up for Nick la Riviera & (Paperboys band?). Yummy food, great drinks, big audience so service not immediate but still good timing. Showed up 40 mins before show with no reservations like a large number of people and the performer himself and the club worked very hard to get everyone in, in a seat, and then gave personal thanks to us for our patience! Wonderful evening start to finish. We will be back with friends so they can enjoy it too. Great parking in parkade next door too! 10/10
I love Hermann's. It's a proper jazz joint in the heart of downtown. Staff are friendly, and they bring in a lot of great and unique acta. It's the best jazz joint we have, get out there and support them. And if you're early for a show, why not dip into the Legion nextdoor for an inexpensive drink or two before dinner and/or a show in the club.
A cool atmosphere here, although the service was a tad slow
Great ambience. Nice food and drink choices. John Lee trio performance was awesome
Great place for music.
Great venue! 150 seats, great craft beer on tap and the martini's are awesome! Always live music and low cover charge.
Went there for New Orleans Jazz night and was thrilled! Great music and atmosphere! The place was packed- but we still got our food quickly after ordering. The food was great too, even though other reviews had said it was questionable. The waiter said the menu was revamped- we enjoyed ourselves immensely!
Love the atmosphere.
Absolutely love this place. The Tom Waits tribute performance for Valentines was just outstanding. Great service too.
Audience Chat POG
Great jazzzzzzz
Great variety in entertainment and the food is good.
Fun night, good music.
Amazing place!
I attended a livestream featuring the incredibly handsome and talented Cole Ashley and could not be more thrilled. The audience was a pleasure to interact with and the music was to die for :)
Music was, as always, great! We drew the short straw with our server thoughI- she was unfriendly to everyone in her section which put a damper on the mood. Bartender was great, food was okay - the fries need work, burger was nothing special.
For decades, Victoria's legendary premier Jazz venue. Thank you.
Great music and great service!! ????????
For anyone who likes live jazz music: Hermann's is bar-none the best place on the island to find it. It's an institution that has been delivering world class jazz music for roughly the last 50 years.
Best place in town for jazz. A unique Victoria experience.
Great little spot Good menue and amazing music I was here for Victorias ladies of Jazz Place is packed Only understandable issue is service is SLOOOOOOOW They need a few more servers on nights like this
The place in town for live jazz and blues.
Only game in town for jazz!
Great intimate live music venue with good food reasonably priced.
One of the best jazz clubs in Canada. Fantastic performers everytime.
Drinks are reasonable, food is reasonable. Music can be unreal. Every city needs a place like Herman's.
Always a pleasure to spend a night at Herman's- listening to Maureen Washington if we are lucky, with a bottle of decently priced wine and nibbles. We always go back!
Great place to go hear a variety of music. Food could use an update.
Great venue for live music. Drink and food Service is inconsistent, however I can live with it in order to support local live music.
Always a great time at Hermann's. They have amazing shows with unique artists of varying genres, atmosphere is true to the 60's form as not much as been done since. Staff are very nice and sound is good there too.
Yes!
Great chill environment. Talented musicians
The music and food is great but I found it a bit pricier as compare to high end dining places/ prices
Nicest jazz club I've been in BC
Great vibe...just ok food
Ive performed there many times.great food and the music is the best part
Spent a wonderful evening on Mother's Day weekend. Went as a party of three for Maureen Washington's show. The service was outstanding! Special thanks to the lady with the sassy updo. Were were seated in the corner at the back, and towards the end it got rather stuffy. Seeing my mum fanning herself with a leaflet, she brought her a hand-held fan! It was a very thoughtful gesture, and she went out of her way to make our evening most enjoyable. The menu is excellent, atmosphere is superb! An absolute must to visit when in Victoria.
Waited too long to visit this club. Solid acoustics with friendly staff. The show we saw was oversold and some had to sit behind the band, which led to a lousy view. Not too expensive for drinks, food or cover.
Great music, food came out tasty and hot. Staff is amenable. Fantastic Latino artist, if this is indicative of the caliber of performers they host, I'll be back.
Love this place for amazing authentic jazz!!!
Good spot we stumbled onto. We had some time to kill before a movie so we had a drink there. Door charge is 20 bucks per perspn which kinda sucks. I think they would have more people if that wasnt the case but I can understand it goes to the band.
There is no better setting for some jazz in Victoria. I absolutely enjoyed my time here and I will be coming again.
Absolutely the best venue in Victoria for jazz and blues!
Kinda weird, but in a good way.
Such an amazing jazz club. Always have good music and good drinks.
Great Music and Staff
Cozy, classy and great music, you literally won't find anything else like it.
Love, love, LOVE this jazz spot. The oldest in Canada! CALL ahead and make reservations + show up on time / early. The 2016 Pinot Noir was delicious ???? You won't be disappointed. Perfect date night.
Amazing atmosphere. Extremely friendly staff. The music is incredible. Fantastic food and drinks, for a great price. I fell in love with this place.
Everything you expect in a jazz club. Cozy and great service with a new menu that is delicious. I've never been disappointed in a visit.
Great concert!
Long live Hermann's!
Nice crowd, great drinks.
Best jazz venue in Victoria. Caught a couple of great shows here.
We MUST keep Blues Clubs like this ALIVE
Excellent atmosphere. They recently hired a new chef and their menu is MUCH better. The kitchen is slow during shows so better to order early.
The penultimate place for jazz in Victoria!!
I love this spot! It has a neat history, and a cool vibe. I wish we had a place like Herman's Jazz Club in Kingston!
Best Jazz scene in Victoria
Relaxed, cool, and classy Jazz club. Saw Tony Genge perform there and really enjoyed the music and atmosphere. The highlight of my visit to Victoria.
A very classy, and classic, jazz club. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. The service was attentive without being overbearing. The jazz was top notch.
Wonderful choices for live music, excellent service, delicious food, and it's local.
Great job with the comedy club Friday nov 5th. Was a great evening and show.
Great little place
Great jazz as always and they have appropriate table spacing for covid with Plexiglas barriers between the band and the audience.
Awesome venue
Good place to listen to music and have a bite to eat
Exactly what it should be
Went for a jazz show, was fantastic. The pplace is a bit old but it has lots of cachet.
Love the bartender
We enjoyed it. The Valentine's day menu was Prix fixe at $50 per person. Food was good. The Music was great.
Nice venue for live music with surprisingly good food!
Excellent music, great food. The place to visit for great jazz
Amazing place, great people, great service and great music. Overall one of the best places you can go for live music and good food. Minors can enter too which is great if they are into jazz aswell
Great wine, music and atmosphere! The Brussel Sprout dish is to die for, top it with ground beef for a meal???? Appropriate for mature teens who love jazz too! My daughter's fav place in Victoria
Hermann's is the place to go for live jazz in Victoria. The place is a bit dingy but that adds to the atmosphere. The place is being run by the family after the owner passed away recently and it may cost down if they can't generate enough revenues so it's a good place to support as well
Slow service, got our food before our drinks. Expensive pop, a "large pop" which at most was maybe a medium cost over $3, the got charged for refills. Their chicken could use some serious work, positive note is it is actually chicken not pressed meat. Service was friendly. Food price wise is alright.
Really wonderful club, great service, great venue for listening to jazz and other music. Granted that I only tasted one appetizer and one entree, from that small sample I would say that the food is good but nothing special. Still, food is not really the point of such a place, and everything else about Hermann's is truly top notch.
Awesome space!
The music was lovely but it’s kind of pricey if you’re planning on getting food and drinks.
Easily my favorite spot in the city. It has a very chill atmosphere and nice staff and amazing live music. My favorite night to go is Thursdays as it's their regulars for a band and the cover is $5.
The food, entertainment, service & ambience was amazing!!
Great music and drinks, alright food
Great jazz music.
Very cozy, lovely atmosphere. Great service, drinks, food and incredible music. Very excited to go again soon. All round positive experience.
My favourite jazz club in Victoria ... it's also the only one! But it hosts all kinds of music performances, and even an occasional lecture. Good food, reasonable prices, and a friendly atmosphere????????????????????????????????????????♿????????????????????????????????????????????????
Awesome time! Hi-Fi band is incredible!
2 stars for the bleach blonde bar tender. 5 stars to the band. There is a certain professionalism that is expected of an employee and it is definately lacking with this lady.
Canada's longest running jazz club-Victoria BC
The only proper Jazz scene in Victoria
Lola Parks was fantastic ! It was our 1st here but we really enjoyed the venue !
Many spectacular experiences at this joint. Most recently saw the Nick La Riviere Band here, and the music was fantastic. The setting is exactly what you think of when you think of an intimate jazz club. Food is really good for the price too, although a couple of times they've messed up the order of our food (mains before apps) and been required to wait about 15 minutes for drinks. But honestly, you're in this place for the long haul, so the sometimes-off service isn't enough to say "stay away"; this place is a Victoria classic and you gotta stop by if you're a visitor in town.
Top jazz performers in an iconic Victoria venue. With affordable drinks and revamped food menu. A must see and experience place. Don't forget to make reservations!
(Translated) Good atmosphere and good menu (Original) Gute Atmosphäre und gute Speisekarte
The food was great and the band (Prince Tribute) was fantastic!
Awesome night..Im going again this Sunday..????????????????????????
BC's oldest jazz club. Great music and bonus- new fabulous chef. dig it!
Nice ambience, good music in downtown Victoria.
Great little gem. It's like a throwback in time. A good spot for a great night out!
Great music. Tasty food
Small venue nice place a little pricy but I know the performer and she was great. The Ashley Wey Trio they had fun and so did the audience. First time I got to she her play tickled the ivory nice
Great food and exceptional music!
(Translated) good place (Original) buen lugar
We so loved the live performance here the night we went. I would definitely go again but make sure I had dinner elsewhere. Not the best. The service was very good even if the food was subpar.
Good company, food and music. What more to ask for. Only reason for 4 star is photographer everywhere during show tonight. Oh, and chicken strips overdone.
So much fun! Live music and great snack food Love the setup ..
Great place to hear live jazz in Victoria.
Nice venue, good music, great food, excellent service!
We saw The Shuffle Demons from T.O. upstairs for the first time. Awesome space! Terrible beer selection and no draft.
All good seats. Quality music, and a good buffet.
Great place to listen to great bands. Thank you!
A real gem in Victoria. Great music and delicious food! We always make a point Of going there whenever we are in town.
Best Jazz club in Victoria
Fantastic music, always, and the food is very good too
Sweet little indie jazz club. Also hosts lectures on science and history.
Absolutely amazing jazz experience. I could not recommend it more. Great food, service, and unbelievable music (John Coltrane tribute). Can't wait to go back there.
Very friendly, great atmosphere, great music. I would go every week but unfortunately was just visiting the city!
I personally have enjoyed Herman's Jazz Club, in Victoria BC, since 1992 ☺. Great food. Located downtown on View Street just steps from Blanchard. ????????????
Great Music intimate venue
Fantastic food and music!
An awesome venue with great music and great memories.
I have been a faithful patron of Hermann's for many years and I know of the controversial transitions over the past few years since Hermann's death. I love the music and the venue (the only reason this is not a one star review). But I cannot recommend the food or service any longer. The staff are completely overwhelmed during peak hours of ordering and this has been a recurring theme each of the last few times I've been there. The details of our food quality and service shortfalls are many but the problem is clear: There is no one in charge, no one being present and accountable. I was advised that last evening the bartender, Megan, was the senior management person. Megan said she was in charge of 'front of house' but she clearly had her hands full with bar-tending duties - to the point where our group's second bottle of wine was brought over by Megan (not our waitress), thrust into our existing cooler with not so much as a smile or a look before she rushed back to the bar. Hmm. No manager would behave like that and no manager/supervisor should be serving drinks behind the bar. There is simply no one there to account for or develop their staff. As such, it will surprise me if this review gets a response, although I seek one. I WANT to go back to Hermann's and enjoy the level of dining and service that once existed under Susan (previous manager, I believe). I WANT them to do well. We need a place like Hermann's in Victoria. Apparently the head chef was on vacation last night and the sous chef was in charge. This hardly constitutes an excuse for the food and service we tolerated. Very poor.
Great local spot for jazz.
Went on the recommendation of someone who knows the club well. I was very pleasantly surprised. Apparently Victoria has a really vibrant music scene and I was thrilled to be introduced to Hermann's as well as the Wes Carroll Confabulation. A great club and very talented musicians. Hope to get back some day or to hear more from Wes!
Great service great food and music . Will do that again.
Great jazz, and good food.
Heard great music here.
Attended the "Charlie Brown Christmas" again and everything was wonderful: awesome music and comfy-scruffy surroundings. The wait staff are very attentive and the music was great! Top notch!
Great local for evening of live music. The food is surprisingly good!
Great lineup of performances, food much improved, friendly service, reasonable prices. This place is a hidden gem.
One of the best jazz clubs on west coast of North America
Glad to have stumbled upon this place. As i entered, two beautiful ladies(one had a cowboy hat on) welcomed me with radiating smiles and warmth as if they knew what I was looking for. It's a space which began with a noble idea /cause and it's evident that the people involved are executing the idea beautifully. This place is a jewel on the island for jazz music. A Relaxed atmosphere with clean, crisp acoustics. Friendly, attentive, staff who don't skip a beat. Bless thee idea.
awesome little historical place for live music
An excellent space to hear and see some of what your jazz soul is looking for!
Absolutely great music.
Swingin!
Wonderful live music venue in Victoria. Reasonably priced drinks and food. Wonderful staff and atmosphere. Get there early for the best seats!
Dixieland band was fun & experienced. The audience was appreciative and the food was tasty.
Afro-Cuban vocals and percussion -- fantastic band. Many drummers, beautiful piano, wonderful singing.
Some of the finest touring musicianss play here. Stellar Jazz performances in a cosy welcoming atmosphere. While not exotic in the selection, the bar staff keep everyone happy with good beverages and excellent service. Mature, hip crowd.
Maureen Washington was amazing.
The music is always great, and while most of the food isn't stellar the nachos are fantastic and the atmosphere and performances make up for it
Didn't realize you weren't allowed to talk. Got dirty looks for laughing and socializing with my family. Ended up leaving. Pretentious Clientele. Wont be back.
Best little jazz place in Victoria. Recently updated menu to include real food, which is good food! And the calendar is full all the time. Love the place, food and the music!
Great spot???????? Beautiful music
Best jazz club in BC. Always worth a visit. Good food and drink.
I attended one of their live streams featuring the amazing Cole Ashley and I was not disappointed! I loved every second of the stream!
Although Hermann's didn't open until 1985 you'd swear you were in a vintage 1960's club with the atmosphere and small round tables with candles and chairs facing the stage. Great jazz and blues acts. Be sure to order your tickets in advance.
What a lovely venue for live music! Intimate without being too small.
Great sound, very intimate place. Good service decent food
Nice place. Live jazz every night. Food is so-so, but you come for the jazz not the food anyway
I'd been meaning to try out Hermann's for several years now and am delighted I finally did this past weekend. All four us had a fabulous time! It is a smaller venue so it made for an intimate experience. The music and atmosphere were outstanding. We didn't want the night to end the four hours we were there flew by. The food was great although they get quite busy so order right away so you're not waiting long. I eagerly await my next visit!
Disappointing first experience. Had a reservation for 6 people and were crammed into a corner with barely room for 4 (had to keep moving chairs to let staff by us). We ordered dinner and were told there a was an hour wait! Ordered anyway because we were hungry and it took 1hr 50 minutes to arrive, actually. After our first drink order no one ever returned to ask if we needed anything else. Music was alright though. Probably would have enjoyed the experience more overall with better service. Ended up leaving early and going to another bar.
tom vickrey ♡
Great time here. Good food, drinks and music!!
A piece of history! Fantastic music and drinks.
Good music and good food
Great jazz with eclectic food menu.
My girlfriend and I went on a date here and it was great. We got our tix a head of time. You have to pay in cash at the door, kind of a bummer. We showed up one hour ahead of time in order to get a good seat. If you show up last min you will not get a good seat! The servers were understaffed. The server we had handled being over sat very well but we had long wait times for food and drink. All in all a good experianced and worth it though.
This place is just so unique, it's a shame that every time I go I'm the youngest person there. And I'm not that young! Food is quite good btw, although the menu is limited.
Victoria would not be the same without this establishment.
Burlesque night, brilliant show, will be back
The only authentic place for live music in Victoria. Good food now too!
(Translated) It could be better (Original) Podría ser mejor
What a fantastic place for live music. The staff is good, as are the food and drinks. The acoustics are phenomenal.
Food, music and drinks are all superb!
Always a great show and wonderful staff?
Hermann's is a gem of a spot - one of the closest spots you'll find to a real jazz club in the lower mainland! A great place to come listen to great local talent, and the #1 spot on the island to catch international artists on tour. Food is quality, prices are fair, service is fantastic, and this is best spot to catch jazz on the island!
It's okay because of cover charge at the door. $20 to go in every time adds up, and is too much. The music is great and I'm sure I would spend that 20 or more on food and drinks. Why not have a minimum charge instead.
Awesome Jazz club
Great music and seat setup!
Fantastic live jazz in a cool atmosphere- great date night
Almost every show is stellar !!
Victoria's favourite place for jazz music has been around for years. Musicians of all calibre play here. I have heard the best and the "worst" here but I've enjoyed them in Herman's "divey" character. It has a restaurant and bar, and on any given night someone you know is either playing or listening, or maybe having a bite at the end of the day with some fine music. Music is great, food is ok, people the best.
Another stellar performance at Hermann's tonight.
Fun place to get to know the locals who enjoy music.
Just came here tonight, great venue!
Great spot in Victoria! Definitely worth checking out when looking for something to do downtown. I’ve been to two shows which were both very lively. Good food, with decent prices.
Good food, fabulous entertainment
As a performer and President of the Best Coast Big Band, we have always had a great time playing for live music aficionados. Great staff serve a super menu and the music community is well represented here. Come down and enjoy sweet sounds tonight!
Great ambiance, nice acoustics, good piano, friendly audience, excellent music.
I came here with my partner and friends for a double date. I love jazz and had some high expectations. I'm happy to say Hermann's met and surpassed them; We had an amazing night! The "band" that played was exquisite and skillfull. Our dessert and sangria was delicious. They had me wishing I ordered more off the menu. All the staff, from the greeters to the servers, were a delight to deal with. The atmosphere and acoustics were stellar. All in all, an all star experience.. I will be back here for more of it all.
Great music. Food selection was not large but very tasty. Nice people
Wonderful evening at Herman's on Haloween night. Great venue, fabulous Michael Jackson Tribute show, great time had by all! Thanks Herman's. Will be back for more enjoyable evenings.
Great time! We had the cheese tray, which was delicious! Home made relish was particularly good. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and soggy inside. Not so delicious. The staff was awesome. We had a great time!
An intimate club with a nice atmosphere. Great variety of music.
Hermann's is a great place for music, food and drinks. Every seat has a good view of the stage and the acoustics are excellent. Have a look at the upcoming shows. Quite a few are not jazz!
Great place, live the vibes. Be patient it takes time to get served.. they try hard.
