    Alma Taqueria had a great selection of drinks and margaritas. The service was decent and I wish the staff had told me about their monthly special before I ordered a drink because I much rather preferred their watermelon slushy. Overall, if you like tequila def come here!

    Enjoying myself at this bar, with 2 drinks on a Friday night. Great tequila cocktails!

    The coolest tequileria with amazing cocktails in San Jose. I miss living in SJ sometimes (I wanted to escape from there so badly yet there are many places, people, and sceneries that I miss now). Also, the nightlife was pretty entertaining, and Alma and its beautiful decor was part of it for me. Alma Tequileria is located inside the San Pedro Square Market where you will be able to find places to eat as well and end up here for a drink.

    Our drinks were pretty good! I love the seating they have, it's very unique. Bartender was pretty nice. We had a good experience except it can get really loud inside because of the shared space.

    My team came to the San Pedro market area for happy hour after an off-site, and we got a few drinks here because it was conveniently close to the live music section of the plaza. I got the paraje and matador. The paraje had a tinge of spice and a kick near the end, while the matador was more citrusy. Both were not too sweet which was good, but also not too strong. The bartender was pretty chill and made our drinks quickly.

    When this spot opened, I finally knew what the blue cow sitting outside San Pedro Square was meant for. The tequileria is thoughtfully decorated and located in a corner that makes it seem like it's in its own world within the food hall. There's an ample selection of tequila and cocktails for you to try. The ordering process is easy--just go up and order with the bartender. It can get quite crowded, but luckily there's plenty of space as well as bites within the dining area. I haven't tried a cocktail that I don't like here. Overall, it's a welcome addition to the SJ nightlife scene!

    First time here, but wont be the last Located inside the San Pedro Square Market ..... off in the corner LOOK for the cow that is placed high.... I was actually in line at a different business when I saw the decor out the corner of my eye (LOL) I peeped some more and I noticed it was a Tequila Bar!! What a wonderful surprise!!! I immediately left the line I was in and walked up to the bar, (no line) I ordered a margarita on the rocks with salt.....Drink was very refreshing!! Bar was clean and well stocked Bartender was friendly and efficient Bar is nicely decorated Drinks have cute names You can take your drink outside or drink it inside

    We got the Lady Peralta and it was STRONG! I'd rather my cocktail be too strong rather than too diluted though so this was okay for me. The decor and vibe of this bar is very nice - I love that there are semi private nooks for parties of 2. This would be a great date spot for sure.

    Came here before the Beyonce concert in Santa Clara. And all the drinks we had were delicious! They're located inside San Pedro Square Market, so it's super convenient to find food in one of the area areas and come here for a drink or 2 or 3. The Bartender was really friendly, and even made mocktails for my friend who was not drinking. And of course, the best part was the music. They were playing Selena and the best latino jams that night. Definitely a fun place to stop by for a drink.

    You already know the market is such a cute date night. So if you're looking for a cocktail while you sit outside, you won't be disappointed. Creative cocktails. A little sweet for my taste but they were still good.

    Alma Fresca, 3 please!
    Madonna B.

    Tequila all day! We tried the El Jaibol first. If you like coconut water with pulp, this is the one to order. The Alma Fresca was our second round. It was so refreshing and delicious! We paired shots of the tequila that was in it, but I didn't get a pic.

    The place has a great look and feel to a real Mexican Tequila Bar. Great cocktails , Great selections of tequilas for a any occasion. I've been to this place several times with friends , coworkers and family members and this place never disappoints. The bartenders Alberto and David are friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere is fun and the music gives it a plus. At the Heart of San pedro square Fun place to hangout.

    This is the bar tender who sucks

    I usually come to San Jose and most of the bars are great but I had the worst service ever at this place. It was me and four of my friends (2 girls 2 guys) the bar was not packed so we find a spot and waited to be served. There was a male and female bar tender and the literally walked past us and did acknowledge us for about 7 min then the guy finally asked what would we like? We have him our order and he then proceeded to Id us. We noticed he did not id anyone else prior to us or after. Not sure if race played a factor but yes we're black . Just saying I would go to one of the other spots before I come here again

    Huge props to San Pedro Square, the city of San Jose, and the San Jose Earthquakes for making the…read more2026 World Cup so fun and exiting for the city! I went to the Canada vs. South Africa game on a Sunday, so the vibes and crowds were very chill and not too crowded at all. There was plenty of room on the street, and I also liked how there were so many other areas and screens inside the market and also in their patio, so you're not just limited to the street outside. Really cool that you can get drinks to go and enjoy them outside. The flow can be a bit confusing though, there's certain sidewalks and ramps you need to take to get to certain restaurants and buildings. You also can't take outside food into the Market itself (including drinks). Will definitely try to go back for more games before this ends for good!

    2026 WORLD CUP WATCH PARTY "TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS"…read more Whenever there was a World Cup I would go to pubs to drink, eat, and watch. Since the USA was co-hosting the 2026 World Cup along with Mexico and Canada I wanted to see if there was a World Cup watch party worth going to. San Jose is the perfect city in the Bay Area to watch the World Cup as the Earthquakes play there. After searching on the web, San Jose Earthquakes were hosting World Cup watch parties at San Pedro Square Market. The first game I attend for the World Cup watch party was USA-Paraguay. I have a stake on this game. I bought three games at Levi's Stadium for the World Cup including the Round of 32 with the first-place winner of Group D, which USA is in. I waited in anticipation for this 6:00 PM game. I was amazed to witness USA ahead 3-0 at halftime. The second half I was concerned when Paraguay scored, but at the end USA won 4-1. With this result I was 50% sure the USA would finish first in Group D. People celebrated and danced after USA won. I knew I had to come back to San Pedro Square Market. The second USA game I watched here was against Australia on Juneteenth. The day after USA beat Paraguay, Australia shockingly beat Turkey 2-0. The stage was set. USA would move to the Round of 32 if they beat Australia. At halftime USA was ahead 2-0. The game ended with that final score. I was 90% sure USA would finish first in their group. (Later that night Turkey lost to Paraguay that resulted USA finishing first in Group D.) The scenes at San Pedro Square Market were great after the USA's wins with the DJ playing hip hop songs the crowd danced to. However I want to make a request to the DJ. At Seattle after USA beat Australia John Denver's song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" was played inside the stadium with the fans singing. Please DJ to get the crowd hype for the next USA games play "Take Me Home, Country Roads". I guarantee the attendees at San Pedro Square Market will make the atmosphere the loudest World Cup watch party in the Bay Area.

    Love this spot, especially before a Sharks game! The atmosphere is great and full of Sharks fans!…read moreWe sat near the window so we could people watch while we ate and drank. To drink, we ordered the 34-ounce Drake's Juicy Hoot Hazy IPA, which was HUGE, but definitely fun. For food, we split the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, and it was AMAZING! The meat was cooked perfectly, the bun was soft, and the cheese was incredibly gooey and delicious. It also had bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños mixed in, which added great flavor. Surprisingly, it wasn't spicy at all. In fact, I didn't even realize there were jalapeños in it until I read the ingredients later while writing this review. All I knew at the time was that the cheesy, peppery goodness made every bite incredible. The staff were all super nice and friendly, which we appreciated. I would have given 5 stars, but there were a couple small things. When we first walked in it felt extremely warm inside, even though it wasn't hot outside, so I'm not sure if the air conditioning wasn't working or if it was just an off day?? Also, when our food arrived we still didn't have silverware or napkins, so I had to get up and ask the hostess for them. Since we were splitting the sandwich, it also would have been nice if a small plate had been brought out initially. I ended up putting my half on a napkin until we later asked our server for a plate. Our server was very friendly and apologized right away though, so it may have just been a busy moment. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back!

    So just giving some context, I did visit with a buddy on a Thursday evening…read more It was opening seating and the place was packed and the only spot we could find was seating out front (which I was fine with). The guy at the door gave us menus and said a server would be with us shortly. It was a while before a server ever came out to us and required us asking the door man again for a server. The server seemed in a rush, which I somewhat get but seemed to want to cut us off after every item we ordered (I ordered food and she immediately went "is that it for you guys" and my buddy hadn't ordered food yet.) Food came out and I was severely disappointed by the portion sizes of the brisket and had I known I would've ordered something else. I also noticed the menu online and the physical menus there were different (ie. online says the plate comes with two sides menu there says one side, menu there has chicken, online doesn't). To end it off, my buddy asked for a box, and the waitress dropped off the bill for us to sign and she just walked off and we couldn't find her so my buddy had to go inside to the bar to get a box. Overall decent environment, but service and food was not worth the price

My friend ordered the drink with the flower garnish, which was a piña colada. It was sweet, refreshing, and super enjoyable. The ambiance was such a vibe, and the staff were amazing. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and consistently checked on us while we were at the bar.

Overall, it was a great experience with chill bar vibes, great drinks, and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm looking for a fun and relaxed night out.

The cocktail menu is inspired by records, and you can feel the creativity in every sip. These aren't your standard bar pours -- they're clearly thought out and crafted with personality. If you're someone who appreciates a drink with a story behind it, you'll be in your element here. The live DJ on weekends takes the whole experience to another level. The music isn't background noise -- it's part of the atmosphere, and it hits right. What makes this place truly special is that you're getting two completely different vibes under one roof. Walk into Still OG up front and you get a casual, laid-back energy -- easy conversation, good company, no pretension. Then slip into the speakeasy in the back and the whole mood shifts. Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for.
