Gui
Gui is cavernous, spanning 10,000 square feet, two floors, and holding three destinations — cocktail lounge Bar 92, circular dining room Hwaro and the steakhouse floor
Bar 92
On Gui’s first floor at 776 8th Avenue, you’ll find Bar 92. In Korean, the pronunciation of "92" sounds similar to "Gui," the restaurant's name. Building on this playful wordplay, Gui operates a bar offering a modern and unique wine experience, featuring selections that redefine traditional wine pairings.
HWARO
Upstairs sits Hwaro (화로), a circular dining room named after the term for a Korean stove. Its menu and design are emblematic of Korean hospitality: guests sit in a circle surrounding the central chef station — similar to another Shim restaurant, Mari — and Shim plans to serve up traditional Korean dishes blended with “global influences.”
