variety of produce on offer, as well
as their lengthy opening hours.
21. Rammagerðin
Skólavörðustígur 12 & other
locations
This long-established crafts and
design store has been running
since 1940. It’s a fascinating store,
loaded with interesting objects
and trinkets. While it might look like
a tourist shop, it’s been there for
seventy or eighty years. So even if
it is a tourist shop, it must be a good
one.
22. Kormákur & Skjöldur
Laugavegur 56 & Skólavörðustígur 48
T hi s u p m a rke t h a b e r d a s h e r y
sells top quality menswear and
accessories. Their suits are cut to
various pleasingly retro fits, and
made from sturdy Shetland tweed.
It’s an experience to shop there—
the service is old-fashioned, and
there’s an in-house barber and tailor
for alterations. It’s on the pricey side
but you really get what you pay for.
23. Geysir
Skólavörðustígur 7 & 16
The presence of the aesthetically
im m a c ul a te G ey s ir s e e m s to
continually grow in Reykjavík ,
especially since they launched their
own clothing line and accompanying
catalogue. There are two locations
to drop by on Skólavörðustigur, each
with a differently styled interior. It
might be a little pricey, but you’ll get
something high-quality for sure.
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. Stefánsbúð P3
Miðstræti 12
T h e p r a i s e w o r t h y m e n s w e a r
selection features beloved local
brands l ike the long - running
Skaparinn label, respected young
d e s i gn e r S æva r M a rkú s , a n d
designer’s designer Stefan Svan. It’s
not all Icelandic brands but it’s a well
chosen group of them.
26. Smekkleysa Plötubúð
Laugavegur 35
Smekkleysa is a independent record
label that has put out a lot of classic
Icelandic music—the Sugarcubes
are still on the board—and their
old-school, bright green record
shop also stocks a carefully curated
selection of new international
releases. You’ll always find some
rarities and surprises there.

Drinking
11. Veður
Klapparstígur 33
This beautifully designed new bar
looks really fancy, but it has a laid-
back atmosphere, a great selection
of cocktails and beer and excellent
music. The weekend nighttime
crowd is a bit American Psycho, but
that’s not without its charm.
12. Loft Hostel
Bankastræti 7a
L of t stands many heads and
shoulders above most of the al
fresco drinking spots in Reykjavík,
not least because it’s on the roof of
the Loft Hostel and has a balcony
that looks over downtown. Before
the evening-time entertainment
begins, it ’s the perfect place to
catch some late-afternoon sun.
13. Skúli Craft Bar
Aðalstræti 9
A cool environment in a great
location, Skúli has a strong presence
in this category with its vast selection
of brews, although the prices can
be steep for the serving size. It has
Cards Against Humanity, and there’s
one bartender who sometimes plays
death metal.
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. Slippbarinn
Mýrargata 2
This standard go-to bar for cocktails
holds its own as far as the mixing
game goes, with a unique menu
and highly skilled bartenders to
shake them up. The bar itself is a
beautifully designed space with
a gorgeous view, right in the Old
Harbour. It closes on the early side,
but it’s great to start the night there.
16. Bar Ananas
Klappastígur 38
Reykjavík's only beach bar is truly a
breath of fresh air for the otherwise
dreary downtown scene. No sir,
this is no dive bar, but a club, with
an indoor smoking lounge, stairs,
a spacious bar, a tiny dance floor,
and a solid line of DJs. It’s run by the
same people as Boston, but it has a
distinctly younger crowd in its mid
to late 20s.
17. Stofan
Vesturgata 3
When the name of the place literally
translates to “the living room,” it’s
pretty much expected to be a very
cosy place to kick back with some
late-afternoon, early-evening drinks.
All their beers and wines are on
happy hour from 4pm until 8pm, and
it’s a lovely central location with a
dim basement and an airy first floor.
18. Bravó
Laugavegur 22
Bravó is Húrra’s sister bar. They have
Icelandic beers on tap, a colourful
hip atmosphere 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. Hrím
Laugavegur 25
Hrím is a design store that ’s
also the go-to for fancy cutlery,
crockery, and kitchen items. They
offer a selection of international
products, with a strong Icelandic
presence scattered throughout.
Have a browse—even if you don’t
cook much, you’ ll feel like you
need everything, because it’s all so
beautiful.
20. Krónan
Fiskislóð 1-21 (& other locations)
This supermarket chain is head and
shoulders above the rest when it
comes to size and the quality and
