Fiskislóð 1-21, Skarfagarðar 2 (&
other locations)
This supermarket chain is head and
shoulders above the rest when it
comes to size and the quality and
variety of produce on offer, as well
as their lengthy opening hours.
21. Mál og Menning
Laugavegur 18
This bookshop has a special place
in the hearts of Icelanders. It has
three levels with curated displays of
the latest titles, and there’s an area
dedicated to selling recent and
classic Icelandic lit in English.
22. Red Cross
Laugavegur 12b & more
There are a handful of Red Cross
locations in Reykjavík, the most
popular of which is a small store on
Laugavegur. Here you’ll be able to
find some pretty cool and unique
stuff for cheap prices.
23. Lucky Records
Rauðarárstígur 10
Lucky Records is probably the
biggest record store in Iceland,
with shelves upon shelves of new
and used vinyl and CDs on offer.
They have a small stage where
bands perform, and an expert staff.
24. Húrra Reykjavík
Hverfisgata 50 & 78
Many credit this store with
Reykjavík’s sudden obsession with
sneakers, with people camping
outside the store to get their
hands on a new pair. Needless to
say, this store is shaping fashion in
downtown Reykjavík.
25. Kjötborg
Ásvallagata 19
Kjötborg is a neighbourhood
convenience store that takes
people back to the days before
supermarkets and chains. A
favourite with Vesturbær locals, it’s
a bastion of continuity in a rapidly
changing city.
26. Handprjónasambandið
Skólavörðustígur 19
The Icelandic wool sweater's
popularity with visitors means that
they’re sometimes mass-produced.
But one place you know you’ll get the
real deal is Handprjónasambandið,
Iceland’s very own hand-knitting
association. They have plenty of
different styles and colours available,
so choose wisely!

23
“Best Late Night Bite.” Needless to
say, it’s the perfect place to satisfy
pregnancy cravings, splitting
hangovers and midnight binges. We
recommend the lamb kofte wrap:
it’s to die for.
Drinking
11. Paloma
Naustin 1-3
Paloma is a place to cut loose. It has
two floors with different DJs and
atmospheres, with plenty of room
to dance. The place is so big, in fact,
that you won’t have to battle long
lines at the bar. This is the place to
go for a fun, messy time.
12. Húrra
Tryggvagata 22
Húrra has been awarded
Grapevine’s coveted “Best All-
Around Bar.” It’s a great place
to go anytime for almost any
reason—whether it’s weeknight
drinks, dancing with your friends
or catching a gig in their excellent
music and events programme. They
even have karaoke downstairs!

13. Prikið
Bankastræti 12
With its packed and grinding dance
floor and huge social smoking
area, this hip-hop spot is another
classic drinking hole. It’s got a good
happy hour, fun DJs and a generally
upbeat atmosphere.
14. Pablo Discobar
Veltusund 1
This fancy-ass cocktail place is
one of the more upscale clubs in
Reykjavík. It has 70s tiki lounge/
Boogie Nights décor, and the
throwback disco music is on point.
15. Microbar
Vesturgata 2
Microbar won this year’s “Best Beer
Selection” in our Best Of Reykjavík
awards. They feature local beer
samplers for the brew connoisseur,
and a huge selection of beers
for the casual taster. With a calm
atmosphere and friendly bar staff,
this is the place to get your beer on.
16. Mikkeller & Friends
Hverfisgata 12
This place has a unique and
constantly rotating selection of
beers from Mikkeller and other
carefully picked craft breweries,
knowledgeable bartenders, and it’s
located upstairs from Hverfisgata
12, so you get good weekend DJs,
fancy bar snacks and pizzas.
17. Kaffibarinn
Bergstaðastræti 1
Here you’ll find locals and tourists
chilling by day and partying by
night. It’s a great place to go on
weeknights, as the weekends can
get pretty packed with long lines—
but those parties do get wild.
18. Bravó
Laugavegur 22
Bravó is Húrra’s sister bar. They have
Icelandic beers on tap and DJs at
the weekend, but one of the best
things about Bravó is its lengthy
happy hours—all the way from
11am to 8pm, in fact.
Shopping
19. Kolaportið
Tryggvagata 19
Kolaportið is a huge indoor flea
market that takes place on
weekends. It’s filled with stalls
selling bric-a-brac, secondhand
clothes, unusual foods, antique
postcards, lopapeysur, and the
occasional religious booth filled
with literature and pamphlets.
