About Amma Don

Winner of “Best Place for Cocktails” 2026. Amma Don — the closest to a true speakeasy in this country — was a unanimous winner in this category. “Nobody knows where to enter. You have to ring the bell. It’s exhilarating,” one panellist says. “The cocktails are insane.” Whether it be the menus tucked into Laxness books, the stately living-room feel, or ÓX's Michelin plaque resting on a bookshelf, Amma Don feels like having a drink in the mid-century modern home of your dreams.
