The hotel lobby bar was spiced up a ton with the one and only Rooster as the cocktail master. He set the vibe of the bar and whipped up the most amazing cocktails!! Thank you Rooster and thank you Alma. What a cool, funky, vibey hotel! Be sure to visit the pool as well!

You need to go to the bar and order the Hamilton. (Better than an Old Fashion). After the 2nd one, I had to call it quits because Rooster, the bartender, is a magician. I rate him 10/10. Also, the Alma Double burger is the best burger on 5th and I can't even finish it.

Great bar at Alma, Rooster makes a great ole fashioned. Would recommend hotel for any both personal and professional travel. Great location as well, easy access to Gaslamp, convention center, the baseball field. Hope to be back and see my boy Rooster.

Rooster is the best at the bar! Old fashioned is on point 💪 top class service and a cool spot to entertain. The food was surprising solid too, recommend staying at Alma and asking for rooster behind the bar next time you’re in GasLamp area!!!!

I like to stay at Marriott so I stopped in this place for a drink. After ordering a drink the bartender Rooster suggested a dinner option. The meal was satisfying and filling. The drink menu was intriguing, so I decided to try a couple offerings. Long story short, I cancelled my previous hotel booking and booked a room here at the Alma. Great experience at the bar, let’s see how the hotel sleeps!?!
