A list of every Happy
Hour in 101 Reykjavík
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 never-ending 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 pulled from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2014 which
you can read in full at www.grapevine.is.
The Laundromat Café has pulled off
the four-peat, legitimising their run as a
dynasty in the family restaurant arena.
Sure, there are other places that pride
themselves on being kid-friendly. A
decent number of restaurants serve
up affordable diner fare. And yes, even
some places have board games to play.
But to have all of these together, plus
a downstairs play area, AND laundry
machines?! The Laundromat Cafe is truly
one-of-a-kind.

Founded in 1977, the Handknitting
Association currently has around 200
active members who utilise the finest
materials for their handmade goods.
In addition to selling a plethora of
lopapeysas, they offer mittens, hats, and
more, all made from lightweight, water-
repellent, and breathable authentic
Icelandic wool. Though far from cheap,
Handprjónasambandið is the best place
to shop to avoid purchasing a sweater
that has been made in a sweatshop. With
a mastery of countless patterns and an
array of yarn for sale, the friendly staff will
even help you make your own. If you’re
in the market for a lopapeysa to rep that
Icelandic style wherever you go, look no
further than this slightly overwhelming
woollen paradise on Skólavörðustígur.

Best Place To Watch Sports
Over A Beer:
Bjarni Fel
The ubiquitous cultural link between
sports and beer endures at Bjarni Fel,
our back-to-back winner in this category.
There’s not a better place in Reykjavík to
guzzle down some brews (2 for 1,990 ISK,
Monday-Friday) and bemoan or celebrate
your favourite teams. With 20 HDTVs and
often hordes of rabid fans, it can truly be
an immersive experience.
