About Vínstúkan Tíu Sopar

Winner of “Best Wine Bar” and “Best Date Place” 2026. “Nobody can compete with Vínstúkan,” states the panel verdict. The cosy basement bar keeps up with the times, continually introducing adventurous wines to an island with no wines of its own. You’ll find bottles you won’t get at Vínbuðín, from Slovakian Pet Nat to fuzzy Italian bubbles. Just tell the friendly staff what you like, and they’ll recommend something you’ll be dreaming about for days. Don’t miss the food pairings either. Dimly lit wine bar Vínstukan Tíu Sopar has long been a go-to for the town’s lovebirds. There’s a fantastic wine selection, a decent offering for teetotalers (these days, chances are at least one half of the couple is one), and a menu of delightful small bites. Few things feel more romantic than fighting over the last piece of their charred broccolini. It’s that good. Plus, as one panellist notes, “There are niches and crannies you can hide in.”
