    By the marina, great location. The drinks are great, cocktails are very creative. The staff is very friendly. The prices are affordable. It is spacious and the background music is cool. No dance floor

    The coctails might be the best in Reykjavík, also the food is good and the service top notch. The prices are a bit expensive, but good things cost money. Read more

    Gin, sweet vermouth, bitters, infused with smoked herbs, and garnished with lemon peel. My favorite cocktail! Did I mention the blow torch?

    The drinks are spectacular! If you like bourbon.. Don't think twice and go for the Lazarus! The Old Cuban is also delicious for you rum lovers!

    One of the few cocktail bars in Reykjavik, the drinks are delicious and the menu is very fun. Check out the wooden sculpture man peeing into a urinal outside of the WC.

    Delicious cocktails by the harbour! They make one of the best old fashioned in town. Hip but comfortable atmosphere

    The Fabulous Hulk is a tad sweet/heavy, but is honestly one of the most complex/interesting cocktails I've ever had.

    Some dishes are a bit eccentric in their presentation. So enquire before you order if you don't like surprises ;)
