The General Humbert's est un authentique pub irlandais situé dans le coeur historique de La Rochelle. La déco et l'ambiance y sont exceptionnelles. The General Humbert's c'est de la bonne musique anglo-saxonne des fifties/sixties à nos jours, de la musique traditionnelle irlandaise tous les jours de 18h à 20h pendant les "happy hours", des écrans LCD pour les retransmissions sportives; le tout dans un confort inégalé: extraction de fumée, climatisation... Les groupes, associations, entreprises peuvent réserver, sans frais, le « Castelbar Lounge » pour leurs soirées privées et profiter l'été du patio intérieur. Le staff, très accueillant, sera une mine d'information sur la ville et les restaurants pour le visiteur de passage à La Rochelle.

Ce pub est dédié au Général Humbert qui quitta La Rochelle le 6 Août 1798, à la tête de 1000 hommes, afin d’aller soutenir militairement les irlandais dans leur quête de liberté lors de leur première grande rébellion contre les anglais.

Situated near the Old harbour and around the corner from the Aquarium, The General Humbert’s is a buzzing La Rochelle boozer. The bar is one of the main meeting places for the locals and a place you don't want to miss when in La Rochelle. This is probably the most popular pub in town.

The atmosphere is lively and convivial with very relaxed and friendly patrons populating the establishment and excellent service provided behind the bar.

The General Humbert’s serves a broad selection of drinks including draught Guinness, Bass or Beck’s alongside a wide range of premium-bottled beers such as Erdinger or Bud and a good choice of mainly New World wines by the glass.
The welcoming staff can make a variety of tasty cocktails including the Pina Colada, the Mojito and Caïpirinha.

A great night's drinking at the heart of the city, The General Humbert’s is well worth a look.

This family owned pub takes its name from the French expeditionary force under the command of General Humbert which on August 6th 1798 set sail from La Rochelle destined for Killala, Co. Mayo to provide military assistance to the Irish rebels of the "Rising of '98" in their attempt to free Ireland from English domination.

The walls are adorned with outstanding historical, sports, music and political memorabilia. Pictures or jerseys signed by famous Irish sports stars (Keith Wood, Brian O’Driscoll, George Best, Willie John McBride, Brian Whelehan) and vynil records signed by Irish music legends such as U2, The Pogues, The Chieftains are displayed. If walls could talk, there's a thousand books within this very building.

Famous for its great craic, popular with rugby pros at the weekends, The General Humbert’s is also reputed to sell the best pint of Guinness in the city, and it doesn't disappoint. Overseas and out-of-town visitors will find the staff to be a valuable mine of information of La Rochelle's history, sightseeing and restaurants.

A unique gathering place definitely worth visiting.
