Bar 11 23:00
At this time on a Friday evening you can
expect a dirty rock band to be whipping the
crowd up into a frenzy with guitar shreds
and machine gun drums. In other words, if
you want to avoid spilling your beer, don't
go into the pit downstairs—if it seems like a
good idea, it's probably the alcohol talking.

Lavabarinn
Where Strawberries used to be, the
champagne club currently under investigation
for illegal strip shows and facilitating
prostitution, there is now Lavabarinn, a
champagne and cocktail bar. Now, we know
what you’re thinking, "another strip club
posing as a champagne club?" No worries,
our editorial team has scoured the place
high and low and found nothing illegal there,
except perhaps how potent their (dirty)
Hendrix Demise cocktail is. If you’re in the
mood to go dancing or fancy lounging with
the tasty Modern Margarita, then Lavabarinn
is the place to be, so long as you don’t mind
their dress code.

Park 01:00
Wait, hang on, did you make it all the way
here? That's amazing! This is the end of the
line, and also the very latest happy hour in
town. Go on, have that last beer, sit down in
one of the big booths, and pat yourself on
the back and finally allow yourself to pass
out, you deserve it buddy!

If your eardrums aren't accustomed to rock
and fucking roll, do not fret, becuse the
next stop is a hip hop den. If you are still of
sound mind, you can also go exploring the
complicated floor plan of Vegamót, with your
fancy cocktail glass in hand. Just don't get
lost, ok?
