Cool place with a cool crowd. The interior is interesting with the wallpaper from old newspapers. It sometimes offers live music and there is a piano there waiting for the perfect musician to arrive.

It offers light meals, cakes and a pretty good coffee. The outdoor terrace is on a good day one of the nicest places to hangout in downtown Reykjavík. The staff are friendly and atmosphere is quite relaxed. Overall the place is quite family friendly.

The selection of Icelandic beers on tap should be a reason enough. There are happy hours between 16-19 each day and a special offers on sandwiches and beer. The place is decent and the service is mostly friendly.

On a sunny day it's great to sit outside and enjoy the vibrant downtown life. The coffee is good, though I wouldn't order tea here (teabag + hot water = nahh..). It's a cozy place, though I wouldn't say this makes you feel like being in Paris.

It's a cool place. It's a restaurant in the daytime (never tried it myself though) and a pub in the evening (tried that way too many times). The staff is friendly and the locals are chatty and interesting.

To discover the true Icelandic nightlife, this might be your best bet. You might have to show up early, unless you meet up with some hip Icelanders who are on a talking terms with the doorman - as that might help you escape the ridgid waiting line.

There is always something going on. Rarely a dull moment. The bartenders are nice and the music is interesting, but sometimes even challenging. If you want your basic party music, then you better look somewhere else - as this place offers a bit more alternative options.

This place is positioned at the university campus and is therefore a little getaway from the central scene. As mentioned before the alcohol has a "european price" and the crowd are mostly university students in their early 20's.

The staff is friendly and bar snacks are fulfilling. They usually have a comprehensive list of forthcoming views on their door, so you'll know beforehand if your favourite team is playing.

I haven't been so impressed with the food there, but it's perfect for drinks (coffee and alcoholic beverages). It has a long and interesting history, being one of the oldest houses in Reykjavík (built 1805).

This is a hip little place, mostly occupied by younger people. The music is generally electronic and the vibe is quite friendly. In summertime there are occasionally popup market and some culturefests, which might be of some interest.

Perfect for the beer-lovers to try out some of the ever-growing Icelandic brewery. If the local brewery doesn't appeal to you, then they also have a good selection of alternative foreign brands which you might not find elsewhere.

The burgers are pretty good, but the beer is a bit expensive. If beers are not your thing, then they also make quite the milkshakes. The decoration is quite classy and fans of the movie will have a blast at this place.
