Skugga Bar
This new hotel bar has cool ambiance, and
thanks to its plentiful windows and not-too-
loud music, the lounge has an open vibe to
it. The black and modish interior also sports
comfy couches, clean tables, and cool glass
ball lights hanging from the ceiling. While
maybe not the best place to knock back as
many drinks as you can before a wild night
out, Skugga Bar offers fresh, frosty beer in
frozen tankard glasses.

Lucky Records
All freshly set up in their brand new, huge
location just next to Hlemmur, this is hands-
down the finest record store in town. Crate-
diggers will marvel and fawn over their
selection while the lay music listener can
easily pop in to pick up the latest from their
favourites. Live music and DJs are regularly
scheduled for live entertainment.

12Gangleri Outfitters
The power duo Vaidas & Óskar started out as
party buddies until they discovered their joint
passion toward outdoor living. This passion
grew to become Gangleri Outfitters, the
outdoor equipment and rental shop in the city
centre, which opened its doors with a bang
on June 17. They rent out and sell everything
that an unequipped traveller might need in
Iceland.
