A Full List Of Every Happy Hour Offer We Found In 101
Breakfast through dinner menu. Also
sells candy, cocoa puffs, and cupcakes.
“She’s got her lipstick on, here I come,
da da dum”.
Alcoholic slushies with liquor of choice.
Plus Glimmerkaffi. Plus glimmer.
‘Gay’ as in lighthearted and cheerful.
But also gay as in gay.

Vegamót
Vegamótastíg 4
Sunday, 20:00
800 960 700
Vegamót is like a nicer, younger version
of Óliver and Sólon (even though the
latter places model themselves after it).
The music volume is perfectly tuned so
you don't have to listen to the people at
the next tables. Gets rowdy at night.
101 bistro [via Garðabær].
A 20+ crowd, mostly young, clean girls
and the people who love them at the .
Hip club background music, DJs in the
evening (R&B is often a favoured style).
Vegamót are the inventors and
purveyors of the Original 101 Bistro
Menu. And they do execute it well.
“My ex-boyfriend was a complete joke,
but I sometimes see him in Hagkaup.
Come on! Hagkaup?”
Vegamót has been a 101 staple for well
over a decade. They found their thing
and they do it well, as regulars will
attest. Hot summer days bring an
outdoor patio that is excellent for
guzzling beers and feasting on lobster
pizza.
Vegamót is what every bistro/bar in
Reykjavík aspires to.

Vestur
Tryggvagata 22
Saturday, 03:13
800 1700-1800 700
Like a boy band video, but only one guy
showed up.
Nothing to speak of.
Underage ladies? Please.
Whatever the ladies love.
No.
“Are you fucking looking at my
girlfriend?”
The patrons’ willingness to get into
bed/a fight with you before either of you
could spell ‘willingness.’
If Jimmy Smits was a bar, his underage
daughter would be Vestur.

Víkingakráin
Hafnarstræti 1
Sunday, 18:00
850 1200 900
Warm and inviting
Viking-esque, rough wood, sheep skin,
shields and candles
No regulars yet. Tourists probably.
Megas! Icelandic traditional and folk.
Live music in the plans.
Full-featured restaurant of the
traditional Icelandic variety. Snacks
after kitchen closes.
"Is there nothing at all I can offer you to
eat? This is a new place; we can add
anything you like to the menu!"
Servants dressed as Viking maidens!
A brand-new Viking-themed
restaurant/pub. Shows promise. Cosy
and friendly. Worth checking out.

Vínbarinn
Kirkjutorg 4
Saturday, 18:00
850 1100 850
Mature, sophistimacated.
Upscale IKEA.
40+ persons of influence, drinkers of
wine.
None to be heard.
Nope.
“I’ll pick the mushrooms and you follow
me”.
Vínbarinn is located right behind
Alþingi. It is where politicians and
drinkers over the age of forty like to get
their wine on. Can get quite rowdy in
the evening (in that classic Icelandic
sense).
Not necessarily the place for you, but
some of us have brought our parents
and grandparents there for whatever
reason and they seem to love it.

Vitabar
Bergþórugata 21.
Sunday, 00:15
700 950 700
Quiet.
Classic pub decor.
Locals and hungry meat eaters.
Rás 2.
Burgers beyond comparison, and some
other food.
People come here to eat, not chat.
The best burgers in town.
Nice quiet place with good food. This
reviewer is a vegetarian but their
Forget-me-not blue cheese and garlic
hamburger is a fond memory. Every visit
is a struggle to stay on the wagon.
Luckily their fries are quite tasty too and
the bottled beer selection is small but
decent.
