Astral Bar Coctelería
Gibraltar
At a glance
Astral Bar Coctelería is a cocktail bar set aboard a wooden galleon at Levante Pier, at the entrance to Puerto Banús in Nueva Andalucía. The ship-shaped setting gives the venue a distinctive character, while lighting and carefully selected music create a relaxed, sociable atmosphere beside the marina and beach area.
The drinks are the main focus. Astral prepares cocktails around fresh fruit, natural ingredients, ice and a broad selection of spirits and liqueurs. Fruit is selected and handled with care, and the bar places emphasis on giving each drink time and attention during preparation. Cocktails can be personalised, making the menu suitable for visitors looking for familiar combinations as well as more creative mixes.
The drinks list draws on spirits from several traditions, including Caribbean rum, Russian vodka, Brazilian cachaça and Mexican tequila, alongside liqueurs, soft drinks and water. Alcohol-free cocktails are also available, giving non-drinkers an option beyond standard refreshments. The cocktail menu changes during the year, so returning visitors may find new combinations on later visits.
Astral suits groups of friends, informal celebrations and visitors who enjoy a lively bar with a strong visual identity. The wooden boat, harbour-side location and music-led atmosphere make the venue different from a conventional cocktail lounge, while the menu’s made-to-order approach gives the drinks a more crafted feel. It can also work for mixed groups where some guests prefer alcohol-free choices. For visitors travelling from Gibraltar, the Puerto Banús location offers a cocktail stop within the wider Marbella area.
The setting is designed for lingering rather than a quick drink, with the bar’s atmosphere playing as important a role as the glass itself. Astral is best approached as a drinks-led venue centred on presentation, fresh produce and customisation, rather than as a restaurant. The location at Muelle de Levante places it within Puerto Banús’s marina setting, making it a natural choice for a social outing around the waterfront.
