About
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.

"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."
"Very welcoming atmosphere, staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Lots of amazing beers to try and can even play board games here too! Would love to go back and visit again."
"Great atmosphere, barman is super kind and beers are just great. I'm on my 5th one, and loved all of them. It's nice to sit in front of the big window to look outside while you have a drink."
"Best bar in Reykjavik! Staff is wonderful. Great selection and you can hear your neighbours. Added bonus: unlimited food from the restaurant two doors down."
"Fantastic bar, very friendly, and a great choice of Icelandic beer — what more can you want when you come to Reykjavik. Really made our visit even more special, thank you."
