Enjoy Reykjavik's nightlife

If you’re looking to discover every facet of the Land of Fire and Ice, there's nothing quite like experiencing Reykjavik’s vibrant nightlife. As lively at night as it is quiet during the day, Iceland’s capital offers a wide range of fun activities. Reykjavik's rather small size also makes it easy to get from one place to another, especially since most of the bars are located on Laugavegur, the city's main street. Simply step into a pub to enjoy a cozy evening alongside the locals and sample local beers. It’s the best way to meet Icelanders and discover the island’s customs and culture, all while enjoying its warm atmosphere—as temperatures here rarely exceed 60°F.

We recommend Mikkeller & Friends pub on Hverfisgata Street. Music lovers can also enjoy the many bars that line Laugavegur Street, offering all kinds of music, including jazz, metal, and electro. Opt for dancing the night away to disco rhythms at Pablo Discobar or simply sample Icelandic specialties in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Blóðmör, a variety of sheep's blood sausage, is especially popular among the locals.
