About

Where Iceland
Pours Its Soul

Tucked on the second floor of Lækjargata 8 in the heart of downtown Reykjavík, Icelandic Craft Bar is the place locals and travellers meet over rotating taps of locally brewed craft beer. Ask the staff to talk you through the lineup — they know every beer by name. Take on the shark meat and Brennivín challenge, sink into a board game, or simply pull up a stool and watch the city roll by from the big window.

What Guests Say

The Best Bar
in Reykjavík

★★★★★

"Interesting local hangout just off the main street in downtown Reykjavik. Sample any or all of the locally brewed beers. Try the shark meat and Brennivin challenge. Basement turns into a comedy club or karaoke bar at night."

"Great selection of Icelandic craft beers. Servers are super friendly and have good knowledge of the beers. If you like porters, I highly recommend the Red Hot Chili Porter — not really spicy, just great flavour."
