Every year around the beginning of July, we make a BEST OF REYKJAVÍK ISSUE celebrating some
of what makes Reykjavík-life worthwhile, posting some good entries into a hopefully neverending
discussion. The primary purpose of BEST OF REYKJAVÍK is celebration! It’s about big-upping stuff,
giving mad props to it and patting it on the shoulder. The following are some nice tips we culled
from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2012, which you can find in full at www.grapevine.is
Swimming is a favourite pastime in Ice-
land. Most towns around the country
have a swimming pool and Reykjavík
has seven of them. They do in fact all
have their charm, but we think it’s safe
to call Laugardalslaug the best pool.
Why? Because it’s huge, it has a bunch
of hot tubs at varying temperatures, it
has a killer waterslide and the stadium
seating blocks out the cold northerly
winds, which are usually accompanied
by sunny rays. Not to mention, it was
just remodelled this past Winter.

BEST MAINSTREAM BAR:
THE ENGLISH PUB
Best Of Reykjavík
The Grapevine is not exactly super
mainstream, but we think a main-
streamer bar is one that appeals to
a wide range of people and plays
music that appeals to the masses,
featuring for instance cover bands
and troubadours playing lots of Bubbi
songs. English Pub fits the bill pretty
well. However, the Lebowski Bar—for-
merly Oliver—was a really, really close
second.

After several years of humiliation, Mál
og menning—once Reykjavík’s favou-
rite bookstore—seems to have finally
gotten its shit together in a big way.
Aside from building up a respectable
(for Iceland) stock of literature and
magazines and hosting various fine
literary events (readings, discussions,
etc), they have opened an art gallery
on their top floor in conjunction with
the crew from Havarí and generally
seem in good spirits. This is great news
for downtown Reykjavík!
