The Reykjavík Grapevine · Best of Reykjavík 2026: Best Goddamn Bar, runner-up

About Kaffibarinn
Runner up 2026 in “Best Goddamn Bar”. Almost synonymous with going out, Kaffibarinn’s inclusion in this, and other best-of lists for the drinking category, was inevitable. With outstanding DJs, vibes for miles, and scenesters on tap, this bar defines 101 Reykjavík, for better or worse. One panellist provided the following revealing quote, “This is the place where you go to ruin yourself. It’s a proper bar for a proper night out.”
