Party Bingo
@ Sæta Svínið
Hafnarstræti 1-3
Sæta Svínið is not only a fine
gastropub, but it’s also home to
some surprisingly rowdy week-
ly events. Our favourite is Sigga
Kling’s weekly Sunday Party Bingo.
There, the only open sorceress of
Iceland—don’t worry, we only burn
warlocks—draws balls for some
prizes that include everything from
gift cards to various restaurants
around Reykjavík to... insole con-
sultations. If numbers aren’t your
thing, she also determines winners
for things like moaning competi-
tions and random talent battles.
So practice your yodeling and, uh,
moaning.
Quizzes & Wine
@ Röntgen
Hverfisgata 12
So, you’re one of those “intellec-
tual” hipsters that likes Seinfeld
more than Friends. Whatever.
Nobody cares. That said, Röntgen
recently hosted Reykjavík’s an-
nual Seinfeld pub quiz, and it got
pretty competitive, so we’ll stop
being a Soup Nazi and admit that
drinking a lot while arguing about
semantics with your friends for
more beer is fun. Check Röntgen’s
Facebook for upcoming quizzes.
On another note, the bar also
hosts natural wine presentations
every Tuesday, where you can
taste and learn about the hottest
vino on the market. The last one
is not a quote from Seinfeld, by
the way.
Karaoke @ Gaukurinn
Tryggvagata 22
Some people like to hijack air-
planes. Others like to hijack clubs
with their mediocre vocal skills.
Gaukurinn is basically the hijacked
airplane of karaoke, where every
Tuesday, you can jump piss drunk
onto the stage and scream out your
favourite Taylor Swift song (“You
Belong With Me,” obviously) in
front of a massive crowd of peo-
ple pretending to like it. So just go
for it. No one will laugh at you. We
promise.
Drag Game Night
@ Fjallkonan
Hafnarstræti 1-3
Drag Queen Gógó Starr is a sassy,
classy, and a bit gassy performer
who just started holding Tues-
day Drag Game Nights upstairs
at Fjallkonan. Show up, sit down,
and enjoy a few cocktails while
you wow your friends with your
dildo golf skills, decimate a lip
sync battle, or just answer inane
questions about drag for klout.
Prizes include gift cards, makeup,
skincare products, butt plugs, and
vibrators. We’re not joking. Ex-
pand your mind.

DRINKING GUIDE
A Productive
Drinking Session
Things to do in Reykjavík
when you're drunk
Words: Valur Grettisson Photo: Íris Dögg Einarsdóttir
Feel like getting drunk “just because” is not a good enough reason
any more? My, my, someone’s a fancy drinker. But we understand.
We get you. You are not alone. To help you out, our drinking depart-
ment spent an entire month drunk to determine what activities
you can do to avoid looking like an alcoholic, just a cool guy.
