Bar Ananas
Bar Ananas, named after that pizza
topping that only decent people enjoy on
their pizza (pineapple), is Reykjavík’s only
beach bar, and it is truly a breath of fresh
air for the otherwise dreary downtown
scene. No sir, this is no dive bar, but a
club, with an indoor smoking lounge,
stairs, a spacious bar, a tiny dance floor,
and a solid line of DJs that all aim to make
you bust a move. It’s run by the same
people as Boston, but it has a distinctly
younger crowd in its mid to late 20s.

designers you are in the market for, then this
store will be to you like Willy Wonka’s factory
was to Charlie. Fully stocked in the choicest
young names in fashion and some one-of-a-
kind local designs too—the shoes are not to
be missed!
