"At Alma’s, you wouldn't be wrong to imagine you're the main character of a film noir set in the Pacific Northwest. The Virgil Village cider den is dark and moody with vintage wooden blinds that make it feel like it’s drizzling outside. If your only knowledge of cider is that Strongbow you drank in 2013, then the menu is probably going to be overwhelming. Don’t stress—the knowledgeable bartenders will happily talk through various sections of the menu and let you taste things until you find one you love. Even the patrons here want to talk about cider, so don’t be surprised if you’re juggling three different side conversations at once." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
"This low-key Virgil Village cider den is dark and moody, with a tiny wrap-around bar and vintage wooden blinds that make you feel like the main character in a film noir. If your knowledge of cider begins and ends with that Strongbow you drank in 2013, the menu will probably be overwhelming. Don't stress—the knowledgeable bartenders will happily talk through various sections of the menu and let you sip and taste until you find something you love." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, kat hong, brett keating
"This tiny bar along Virgil Avenue specializes in cider and co-ferments from around the world. Slip into a booth in the dark blue interior, or grab a seat at the bar, and pore over the extensive list of choices available by the glass, or the bottle. If unsure of what to order, don’t be afraid to ask — the bartenders here are generous with their knowledge and are happy to pour tasters. During colder months, look out for the hot spiked cider on the menu." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"Before dinner I settle into Alma’s, a Virgil Village cider specialist with a dark blue midcentury modern interior and a backlit tiny-town display; the staff know everything about cider and can recommend something from the vaguest prompt — “crispy,” “green,” or even “reminiscent of a glass bottle of Martinelli’s apple juice” — and they also offer beer, co-ferments, and a rotating menu of waffles and charcuterie." - Rebecca Roland
"Celebrating its third birthday on June 15, Alma’s — a cider-focused bar in Virgil Village — will offer free admission and serve six food subs alongside a variety of loquat beverages, including cider, beer, and wine." - Rebecca Roland
