Who We Are

Welcome to Alma: A Three-Story Journey Through Mexico

Perched in Downtown Brooklyn, Alma is more than just a restaurant—it’s a vertical exploration of flavor, atmosphere, and architecture. Originally built from the ground up and opened in 2002. Alma has become a neighborhood landmark. Today, Chef Francisco Lopez carries that torch, masterfully blending time-honored Mexican traditions with fresh, innovative additions that celebrate the evolution of the cuisine.

Whether you are looking for a high-energy social scene or a quiet sunset over the skyline, our three unique levels offer a curated experience for every mood:


The Alma Experience

  • Level 1: Alma Cantina | The Social Hub Kick off your evening in our high-energy taproom. Featuring a full bar and a menu of artisan Mexican tapas, the Cantina is designed for lively conversation and bold first bites.
  • Level 2: The Dining Room | The Heart of the House Experience the soul of Chef Lopez’s kitchen. Surrounded by large French windows and mirror-lined walls, you can enjoy authentic Mexican entrees and an expanded beverage program featuring a curated selection of rare tequilas and mezcals.
  • Level 3: The Sky Lounge | The Main Event Ascend to our famous rooftop for unrivaled, panoramic views of lower Manhattan. Open-air in the summer and breathtaking year-round, it’s the ultimate destination for signature cocktails, late-night bites, and the best NYC sunsets in the borough.
