A rooftop bar 30 metres from the cathedral dome

Aleph Cocktail Club occupies the rooftop terrace of Hotel Olom at Plaza de la Catedral 9, on the edge of El Pópulo in the historic centre of Cádiz. Sitting barely 30 metres from the cathedral, the terrace looks straight across at the tiled dome of Cádiz Cathedral, with a small saltwater pool at its feet and curated music setting the evening pace.

Opened in June 2023 by Mexican proprietors, the 14-room boutique hotel splits its food and drink offer across three spaces under chef Luis Callealta and head chef Álvaro Vela. Ground-floor restaurant Ettu (opened July 2023) focuses on contemporary Cádiz produce, the street-level Momento terrace serves casual Gaditano sharing plates on the square, and Aleph runs the rooftop cocktail list.

Liquid cuisine, house macerations and what to order

Rather than a standard hotel gin-and-tonic deck, the bartender runs a seasonal cocktail menu built around signature liquid cuisine (cocina líquida de autor) priced between €10 and €14. Classic serves share the list with house macerations and alcohol-free cocktails prepared with the same care. Recipes pair Andalusian flavours such as torrijas and Inés Rosales tortas with international spirits, notably mezcal and tequila.

Cocktail / Category Key Ingredients Price Guide
Sea sour Tequila, salicornia (marsh samphire), trout roe (huevas de trucha), egg white and lime €10–14
Torrija Brandy, Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry, lime, Cointreau, honey and milk foam (espuma de leche) €10–14
Andalusian & Agave Specials Seasonal mixes inspired by Inés Rosales tortas, or built on mezcal and tequila with house macerations €10–14
Alcohol-Free Signatures Seasonal non-alcoholic cocktails mixed from the bartender's own infusions €10–14

Aleph is reached through Hotel Olom on Plaza de la Catedral, a short walk from the Roman Theatre.

Insider tips

What to order

Order the Sea sour or the Torrija from the €10–14 signature list

Skip the standard mixed drinks and try the bartender's liquid-cuisine creations: the savoury-citrus Sea sour (tequila, samphire, trout roe, egg white and lime) or the sweet-spiced Torrija (brandy, Pedro Ximénez, lime, Cointreau, honey and milk foam). House-macerated alcohol-free options are also available.

Best time

Call ahead on +34 956 29 11 42 to confirm seasonal hours

Both the cocktail list and rooftop operating hours shift with the seasons, and fixed daily opening times are not published in municipal records. Ring Hotel Olom reception before walking over so you can time your visit for an early-evening drink beside the saltwater pool.

Pairing tip

Combine a rooftop cocktail with Momento on the square or Ettu downstairs

Aleph is one part of chef Luis Callealta and Álvaro Vela's three-venue setup inside Hotel Olom. Start with a €10–14 cocktail looking at the cathedral dome, then head down to the Momento terrace on Plaza de la Catedral for €20–25 casual sharing plates or book Ettu for a €45–60 dinner.
