Skúli Craft Bar
As one can witness every single weekend,
Icelandic people have a propensity for binge
drinking. This is perhaps unsurprising, given
that beer has only been available to the
nation for the last quarter century. In recent
years, however, we have enjoyed quite
the renaissance in our beer culture, with
specialist beer bars popping up all over the
place, offering a previously unfathomable
variety. On it goes, and there’s a hip new
kid on the block: his name is Skúli Craft Bar.
And you should pay him a visit. Named after
Skúli “Fógeti” Magnússon, often dubbed
“the father of Reykjavík,” the bar offers no
fewer than twelve different craft beers on
tap! In case that makes your head spin, no
worries, they have a menu with a detailed
description of each and every one, and the
bartenders allow patrons to taste their wares
before purchase. It may not be the cheapest
place in the city, but it’s well worth a gander.

Icewear
Whether you are after something functional
or aesthetically pleasing, Icewear offers
a full collection of both clothing for the
outdoor enthusiast such as sophisticated
high-tech jackets, and locally made Icelan-
dic wool sweaters and other apparel.
Þingholtsstræti 2-4
12Hrím
Unlike other design shops in town, this one
goes beyond the local borders to bring some
of the most innovative and stylish creations
from designers around the world. They are
also the official sales point of Lomography in
Iceland, so get yourself a Diana camera and
start snapping.

Swimming Pools

Sundhöll Reykjavíkur, is an indoor one,
located at Barónsstígur. It features a
nice sunbathing area and some outdoor
hot tubs. Opening hours: Mon-Thu from
06:30–22:00, Fri from 06:30–20:00,
Sat from 08:00–16:00 and Sun from

Public Toilets
Public toilets in the centre can be found
inside the green-poster covered tow-
ers located, for example, at Hlemmur,
Ingólfstortorg, by Hallgrímskirkja, by
Reykjavík Art Museum, Lækjargata and by
Eymundsson on Skólavörðustígur. Toilets

Both a record label and a store, 12 Tónar

Reykjavík for the past 15 years. They stock all
of the best new Icelandic music on CDs and
some vinyl. Also, check out their Facebook
page for information about in-store gigs.
