Guey, the way forward in Marbella

Güey Restaurant & Skybar in Nueva Andalucia, Marbella (comfortably close to the hustle and bustle of Puerto Banús) plays venue to so many personal and professional events in Southern Spain that it has become a permanent fixture in the PuddingCreative calendar. For a start, it is the Mecca of the professional networker having regularly played host to Tweet Marbella, the Costa Business Club and the Women in Business. But it also embraces the international culture of its cosmopolitan location with a range of lively Swedish, Mexican, Spanish and English themed evenings

But what is it that makes Güey so irresistible? According to their website it is a repertoire of fresh, creative cuisine. Favourites include sushi, pumpkin soup with langostinos and honey glazed lamb ribs. But the fine dining experience tells only a small part of the story. One of the reasons that it is so perfect for social events of any type, is the vibrant ambience combined with a large, split-level, open-plan floor space. The more formal restaurant leads easily into the contemporary cocktail skybar that flows onwards to the terrace which provides a tropical atmosphere in which to enjoy a multitude of nightcaps. Of course, the flexible layout means that any evening can also be arranged in reverse, with one (or more) aperitifs enjoyed amongst the chic landscaping at the rear of the venue and onwards for dinner.


And wherever in Güey you find yourself seated, you still get to enjoy cool tunes played live by a choice of artists, selected each month – generally a blend of modern jazz and soul that complements the ultra stylish surrounds.


But none of this mentions one of Güey’s most exclusive features which is located below the floorboards of the restaurant area with only one portal window providing a sneak preview to something very special. Güey offers a unique underground wine-tasting cellar that provides connoisseurs with a choice of tipples from Spain, France, California, Australia, South Africa and Chile. 



Not many venues proffer a setting that can equally accommodate the needs of a couple seeking a romantic evening or a large group celebration. This ability comes from a talented branding team, including event manager, Johnnie B, who has brought his experience from some of the coolest restaurants and bars of New York and adapted it to suit the desires of the local market on the Costa del Sol.

Johnnie B runs a series of new and interesting events throughout the seasons that maintain Güey’s fresh buzz (including many opportunities to savour some of the 50 different varieties of tequila). And so, it should be of no surprise that Friday 5th August will see the Mr. and Miss Málaga Pageant, 2011. The glamourous affair, which will attract nearly 250 people, will consist of the perfect combination of fine bodies and fine food (a . All provided for just 59€.

This is a venue that has been perfected by those who love good food, good drink and good company. And so do we! – Güey Restaurant & Skybar receives our highest recommendation...
