Mary’s Ace Hardware

Handy little hardware store in the Quarter. They have almost everything I need for minor home repair projects. Plus they host a great knife sharpening event in their kitchen section (upstairs) every couple of months. Thanks, Mary’s!

It’s great that a hardware store has all the things you need for an impromptu home fix or a detailed and planned project. It’s even better when that hardware store is within walking distance of your house. The staff here are always helpful and friendly. They are also dog-​friendly, giving treats to the 4-​legged at each visit.

Yeah. There’s a reason this place has 5 stars. Great helpful staff. Perfectly equipped store. They carry speciality tools (I came for a 25′ commercial grade hose, hose bib key and a nozzle — $ 35)Thanks Ace Hardware for being there for us

IT’LL QUEER YOUR NOTION OF A HARDWARE STORE
This gem on the outskirts of the Quarter is proudly named after the Montrose’s renown gay biker bar (as detailed on the lobby plaque) and is a sister business to Café Lafitte in Exile, the oldest such watering hole in the US.
THESE GIRLS KNOW THEIR POWER TOOLS!
I banked True Value’s Chicago headquarters in the 1990s. They were just starting their strategy to beat the big boxes by having superlatively knowledgeable sales teams that are willing to go the extra mile. Mary’s is one of their stellar examples. Once an employee helped me wheel a carpet steamer to my condo 4 blocks away. Another guy listened to a gloomy dilemma and then recommended my favorite tool: an obscure crank shaped combo flat/​philips head screwdriver to use in tight gaps like vanities or hinges (Ha! See pic).
«2ND FLOOR: HOUSEWARES, PET SUPPLIES, LINGERIE…»
The top floor of Mary’s is its hidden jewel, a cross between Williams Sonoma and Jefferson Feed. This is one of those old-​school throwbacks where you aimlessly wander and oooooh agog over beautiful yet mostly affordable gadgets and appliances (see pics).
PROTIPS:
1. Offstreet parking!!!
2. Sign up for emails, they have periodic free knife sharpenings and housewares samplings
3. Use your Ace Rewards card to get receiptless refunds

I gave this place 5 stars because there’s no reason not to. They have everything I need, the staff are helpful, it’s clean and well-​organized. The prices are a little expensive, but it’s the goddamn French Quarter, what do you expect?

⁴⁄₅ helpful
good folks here. they were helpful when i called to confirm they carried an item, and then equally helpful when i showed up to procure said item (mystery revealed: c02 tank for sodastream, which a 60L replacement is about $ 15 with tank trade-​in). i’d never stepped in before this and had originally thought the location was such a hassle, but then i also never realized they had a side lot — easy in and easy out!

This place is magical! Hardware store downstairs, gorgeous homewares store upstairs full of le creuset, staub, high quality copperware etc etc etc!!! Beautifully merchandised and well curated selection –you’ll want everything :)

You think this is a little store and then wow, they have everything you need and a lot of cute stuff for you ladies. I love the charm of a small hardware store that is not a Lowe’s or Home Depot. When you first walk in, an attentive employee is there to greet you and can take you directly to what you are looking for in case you are in a hurry. This is the PERFECT place to get your keys made. I was in and out in no time so I would suggest checking this place out to anyone. Oh and don’t forget they have a second floor that is worth a look around.

This store is the best! It has everything you need from a mop to specific household hardware. You can also get key copies here for $ 1.99 each which is a steal for the French quarter. This is my go to store since I live in the fq. They also have a customer parking lot which is so helpful. I just discovered there is an entire kitchen and bath section upstairs. I can’t wait to go back to check it out.

I love Mary’s Ace Hardware! It was worth the wait. They have hardwares, a/​c filters in your size, and I cannot say enough good things about the upstairs! It is a chefs, foodies and pet lover’ one stop shop!

I bartend at the bar across the street… and often do my own maintenance work… The folks over at this ACE are the best! It’s convenience that’s not too hard on the wallet. They do care for the local community and always have awesome advice when you need to figure out that one lil problem.

Great little hardware store in the French Quarter; it has most everything you’ve been looking for but couldn’t find elsewhere and/​or didn’t want to pay those higher prices. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Don’t forget to go upstairs to find those other things you didn’t even know you needed — mostly for kitchen and bath.

Mary’s SECOND FLOOR is the best kept secret Downtown. Houseware, Bed, Bath and Pet supplies. It’s a bit Williams Sonoma, Target, and Walmart mixed together. Excellent customer service, free parking AND free coffee.
And best of all they are having a 25% off sale through November.

Started off our Saturday morning sightseeing when it began to pour. We spotted this ACE along with some other tourists and ran inside to get an umbrella. Good ol’ ACE!

best place in the city, I shop here all the time… Thomas B
is the guy who KNOWS where everything is in that place…

Friendly service just about anything you need

I bought a new pot rack on line and I needed to add on to it wish a few more s clips so I went to Marys. They did not have the size I wanted, but I did look around and liked what I seen. They have a vast array of different products for the home and kitchen. The employees were very pleasant and even offered a cup of coffee while shopping. Look forward to going back.

This is the best hardware store ever! We are traveling and stopped in here to replace our Sodastream carbonators and the place is killer. The staff was great and super helpful, and if we hadn’t been in a little bit of a hurry we could have stayed and browsed around for quite a while!
They’ve got some really nice kitchen stuff and appliances upstairs, and a parking lot out front. Perfect.

Mary’s is a breath of fresh air. Clean, properly organized and, well staffed.
The employees here are top-​notch — friendly, helpful and, knowledgeable. The stock selection is excellent, they always have what I need. I really like the department upstairs, brilliant idea. I’m very glad to have Mary’s nearby.

MARY’S HAS MOVED to 724 N Rampart St., NOLA 70 116
We missed you!!! So good to have you back, Tom!!!
After 2 years of being closed and looking for a NEW LOCATION, Mary’s Hardware is now on N. Rampart St., AND with a PARKING LOT!!! Whoopee! So happy to have a hardware store again in the French Quarter. It’s in the 700 block. The 2^nd floor is almost like a Williams Sonoma— with kitchen ware and upscale coffee makers, espresso makers, fine cookery– you name it. Downstairs, they even have a doggie section– with treats and greenies. It’s so good to have this available again. Many thanks to owner Tom Wood. It’s a real service to our community. We will support you!
