Alma Tequileria
Tequila, mezcal and seriously good cocktails in the heart of San Pedro Square Market. Alma Tequileria is our outdoor agave bar in downtown San Jose, with a carefully chosen collection of tequilas and mezcals, creative cocktails and plenty of room to settle in and stay awhile.
Whether you're already an agave fan or just curious to try something new, pull up a seat and we'll help you find something you'll love.
A tequila and mezcal list built for exploring
Alma's list runs deeper than a typical bar's tequila shelf — traditional blancos, reposados, and añejos alongside mezcal, for anyone who wants to taste the range rather than default to a margarita. The signature cocktail menu builds on that same list: drinks like the Matador SanPedro (cimarron reposado, dolin blanc, tempus fugit crème de cacao) and the Alma Highball (del maguey vida mezcal, tamarind-cilantro, lime, Topo Chico) are built to showcase specific spirits rather than mask them.
Outdoor plaza setting
Alma is tucked into the outdoor plaza at San Pedro Square Market, making it an easy place to meet friends, start a night out or grab a cocktail before a game or show at SAP Center.
Come for a margarita, explore the tequila and mezcal list, or just find a seat in the plaza and enjoy downtown San Jose.

Part of San Pedro Square Market
Alma is one of four bars at San Pedro Square Market in downtown San Jose, alongside Three Sisters (whiskey), San Pedro Market Bar (cocktails, beer, wine), and Market Beer Company (craft beer). The plaza setting makes it easy to start at Alma and move to any of the others without leaving the block — a common move for a group where not everyone wants tequila. It's also about a five-minute walk from SAP Center, making it a workable pre-game or post-game stop for anyone who wants something more specific than a standard sports-bar pour.
