Pete Herman’s Club
Status: Closed
Parish: Orleans
Location: New Orleans
942 Conti Street: From the New Orleans Jazz History Treme/ Vieux Carre/Storyville Walking Tour brochure: “Tango Belt fixture whose name has changed many times over the years, including the Ringside Caf, the Plantation club, and possibly the Orchard, and the Black Orchid. Herman, whose real name was Peter Gulotta, was twice the world bantamweight boxing champion, and for a time was married to (famed madam) Norma Wallace. For a while she operated her business in the rooms above the nightclub.”

Our band was once in 1965 the HOUSE BAND,and had more fun than I could ever have dreamed of. So long Pete.

My grandfather was a bartender there for as long as I can remember. His name is Juan Solis Teofilio aka CHICO. Do you possibly recall anyone with that name?

We used to be in this club every weekend in the sixties… The back room was the hottest place for young people. The Pirates band were regulars and were great… We loved it there.
