Bars in Reykjavik
The distinction between bars and clubs is not very clear in Iceland, with most clubs being more like bars until a little before midnight. However, the following venues can be said to be purely bars - places to go and drink with your friends, rather than to dance or listen to music.
Bjarni Fel, Austurstræti 20. A sports bar, named for a famous Icelandic footballer and later sports commentator. �
The Celtic Cross, Hverfisgata 26, ☎ +354 511 3240. An Irish pub, with several dark ales and booths where groups can sit and talk in relative privacy. �
Den Danske Kro (Danska kráin, the Danish Pub), Ingólfsstræti 3. This place tries to imitate a Danish bodega, although it really feels much more Icelandic than Danish. �
The English Pub, Austurstræti 12, ☎ +354 578 0400. Very popular English-style pub in the heart of the city, with a wide range of beers and a wheel of fortune. Beware troubadours in the weekends, though (they're very bad)! �
Næsti bar. It may not look like much, on the outside or the inside. In fact, you may not even spot it unless there are people standing outside smoking. But it's spacious, and the staff are usually very friendly. The fact that it doesn't play loud music makes Næsti bar especially nice when you just want to go out for a drink and a chat. �
Ölstofa Kormáks og Skjaldar (Ölstofan), Vegamótastígur 4, ☎ +354 552 4587. A small, cozy and extremely popular bar. The decorations seem to be taken from the living rooms of Icelandic grandmothers and include a number of cross stitched pictures. Uniquely for Reykjavík bars they have their own beer called Bríó, brewed for them by a microbrewery within the larger Egils brewery. �
