Dúfnahólar 10
This lounge-y party place offers patrons a
long happy hour, and features comfortable
couches as well as a bath tub-cum-table
that doubles as a fish tank. Down a corridor,
however, you can find an unmade bed,
fully-fitted kitchen, and an old-school TV
set that's missing its remote—all straight
from the film from which this bar is named,
'Sódóma Reykjavíkur'. Whether the
dissonant architecture ends up being a hit
or miss with locals has yet to be seen, but
even on a Tuesday evening, it was filled with
people.
