Atlantica - 01.05.2002, Side 64

This year’s World Cup is being played in Japan and Korea
which means the starting times over here in Europe will be
EARLY. Don’t panic. Iceland’s sports bars are prepared. So
where in Iceland can one eat cereal and watch football?

SPORT KAFFI
Easily the best sports bar in Reykjavík. With a big screen TV and
lots of little ones hanging from every nook and cranny, you
won’t miss a minute of the action. And yes, breakfast will be
served. For match schedules and opening times, log on to
www.sportkaffi.is
Thingholtsstræti 5, 101 Reykjavík, (+354) 561-6622
ÖLVER
As the owner says, referring to the early opening times, “We
don’t expect to make any money out of it, but sometimes you
just have to have fun.” Be advised, Ölver is the preferred pub of
Iceland’s Arsenal fans, so the crowd will most likely be rooting
for England.
Álfheimar 74, 108 Reykjavík, (+354) 533-6220
GLAUMBAR
If you go knocking at 6:00 a.m., nobody will answer. But when
the clock strikes 9:00, come on down to one of the few pubs in
Iceland that has a proper bar.
Tryggvagata 20, 101 Reykjavík, (+354) 552-6868
ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE
No, it’s not a bar. It’s a French organisation. A what? Hey, France
are the defending World Champions and the European
Champions, so the organisation plans to celebrate anytime their
side hits the pitch. Games will be shown either at the organisa-
tion’s offices or in conjunction with local bars.
For information on when and where, contact (+354) 552-3870.
