Be brave and turn down it: You’ll wind up in Café Ray Liotta, the new music venue in the basement of Celtic Cross. The space is cosy and intimate, in perfect keeping with the owner’s artist-friendly approach to setting up shows. Thursdays in particular are reserved for smaller acts; other days see rock and electro DJs and live performances. 13 Hrím Unlike other design shops in town, this one goes beyond national borders to bring some of the most innovative and stylish creations from designers around the world. It is also the official sales point of Lomography in Iceland, so get yourself a Diana camera and start snapping.
