THE GUESTLIST NETWORK | SEPTEMBER 2010


IBIZA TO THE END


We tried, we tested and we definitely conquered, here are The Guestlist Networks top picks of Ibiza 2010...


As the summer season at the hedonistic island that furiously commemorates dance music culture, celebrates club land opulence and acts as no less than a musical spiritual home for so many comes ever closer to closing its doors for 2010; it is now that everyone begins to lay down their verdicts of which party rocked the hardest, which bar was this year’s must and more importantly who reduced the infamous dance-houses to their pure foundations. We tried, we tested and we definitely conquered, and here are our Top Picks of Ibiza 2010...


Best Restaurant


After a few years of trying out different spots to stay in Ibizia, we found our little haven in the form of a gorgeous apart- ment just a few minutes away from the blissfully relaxed port of Ibiza Town, where we could either indulge in pre-party sushi at the lovely Match Bar. There was also the amazing El Pirata, a fantastic restau- rant over-looking the sea amidst the bars and marvellous Ibiza Town vibe, El Pirata serves Italian food with a small (ok, a big) difference. The pizzas are presented in four foot long doses. It’s a great way to eat out with a big group, and to get more ac- quainted with your new-found Ibiza family. Not to mention they are by far the best pizza’s we have ever tasted! Don’t be- lieve us, go try! The bill comes to around €25 each for the whole meal, including drinks...Bargain.

Best Cheese


It’s all about a bit of mad cheese when you’re away, and Delilah’s Welsh Bar for their Karaoke Night in San Antonio is a great way to get it when you have been on the beach drinking all day and fancy something a little less clubby. All you have to do is get as drunk as a skunk!

Best Pre-party Bar


Best Afterparty


The Cocoon afterparty took place at the fabulous beach bar, Ushuaia. And it was AMAZING! We don’t know what else to say about this party. It was more international than any other party we had been to, lots of tanned and beautiful bodies partying hard, to the sounds of Dubfire, Richie Hawtin & Sven Vath. The stretch of beach which was closed off to the public was great to chill out on with friends and a big jug of Sangria, or you could choose to just go for it on the rammed dancefloor. The party lasted all day and with pure Ibizan beats and hot sun shining, it created the classic Ibiza experience. It finished at the grand time of 12am which meant we could head over to another party afterwards...Rock (or should I say Tech?) On!

There’s always the obvious like Space & Amnesia but these come with a hefty price tag - unless you man- age to catch the happy hour. If you want something cheaper with a homely at- mosphere then head down to our fave spot of this year, Viva! Located in the West End of San Antonio, it is hailed as the workers bar. But that’s not to say every- one isn’t welcome! And if you do choose to go, expect a friendly vibe, lot’s of English and very cheap drinks (around €2.50 for a spirit and mixer). There will also always be a temp local DJ spinning some pure Ibiza, pre-party tracks... what more could you want?

Word on beat-street was a certain Brit would take Ibiza by storm this year, so we headed over to Cream at The Workshop of For- getfulness to see what all the fuss was about. And oh my, after witnessing the opening set to his summer residency, Michael Woods certainly did do everything but leave us with a case of chronic Amnesia! He held the throne with a 5.30am slot in the main room where his energetic personality took-over! Spinning most of his own original progressive, big-room house productions like his remix of I Said by Chris Lake and deadmau5, he played a truly astounding set that had everyone pumped up. His tipped status as the New Brit Golden Boy is fast becoming actuality over prophe- cy, this musical personality is becom- ing one impossible to dismiss!

We Love Space, yes, We do Love Space, but we also love the club night ‘We Love’. Confused? Let us explain – It never fails. Never, ever, ever. Mention


‘We Love’ and the question of ‘Who’s headlining’ just doesn’t make sense when it comes to this party, um...who isn’t headlining? The party always employs the best artistic talent ranging from Groove Armada, to James Zabeila and houses some seriously drool worthy exclusive residents such as Joris Voorn and Steve Lawler. The ambi- ence of the crowd is always brilliant; everyone is all smiles and hap- piness, chatty, nice and totally there for a big party! We Love offers an up-front, pure Ibiza clubbing experience, it’s all about quality and it totally hits it’s goal every...single...time!
