The Coocoo's Nest
Nestled in an old fishing hut in the flourish-
ing area of Grandi is a new Californian deli
with an Italian twist. What is a Californian
deli? You’ll have to pay them a visit to find
out. The owners, Íris and Lucas, have put
much thought and work into every square
inch of the place, creating a cosy and warm
atmosphere. If you are in that part of town,
head over to get your brunch or lunch fill of
the day.

12 Tónar
If you can remember some of the bands
you saw, but weren’t quick enough to buy
their merch, you need to head over to this
shop. With a wide selection if Icelandic and
international records, the staff of 12 Tónar
are always happy to help and give recom-
mendations.

10 Laundromat Café
Playing tough will no longer work after three
solid days of hard partying. You will be
knackered, and Laundromat Café is exactly
where you should plant your butt. Enjoy
the large meal portions, play some board
games, and while you’re at it, wash your
clothes in Iceland’s only real laundromat.

Swimming Pools
There are several swimming pools in
Reykjavík. The one in 101 Reykjavík,
Sundhöll Reykjavíkur, is an indoor one,
located at Barónsstígur. That pool features
a nice sunbathing area and some outdoor
hot tubs. Opening hours: Monday to
Thursday from 06:30–22:00, Friday from
06:30–20:00, Saturday from 08:00–16:00,

Reykjavík Art Museum, Lækjargata and by
Eymundsson on Skólavör!ustígur. Toilets
can also be found inside the Reykjavík
City Hall and the Reykjavík Library.

You may have heard Icelanders like their
pizza, but no place does it quite as well as
Gamla Smi!jan. With a selection of expertly
crafted combos, we’re sure you will find a
pizza to your liking.
Grandagar!ur 23 | coocoosnest.is
Vitabar
So you’ve had pizza, but now it’s burger
time. Vitabar has become renowned in
Iceland for their ‘gleymmérei’ burger
(“forget-me-not”), and it’s time for you to
find out why. Get a large side of fries (with
cocktail sauce!) with that, pick yourself up,
and stumble out for another big night.

Priki!
Go on, Airwaver, we know you can make
it — there’s just one day left, and you don’t
want to be the person who missed it. Priki!
offers a lot of great breakfast deals, but
you’ll probably want the hangover combo.
It’s worth it.

Valdís
This Italian-style gelato shop is the place
to load up on inventive ice cream flavours
before heading out for that last sober walk
through the city. Have a stroll through the
harbour area before finding a place for a
hot cuppa.

Tapas Barinn
We have yet to find a person who doesn’t
like tapas, and Tapas Barinn make some of
the best in Iceland. If you want to try the
controversial minke whale, this may be a
safe place to do so. If not, it’s still a great
place to prepare yourself for that last night
out.
