Kaffibarinn

About

There is one word above all others that screams 'Reykjavik Nightlife': Kaffibarinn. Not everybody loves the place, but everyone knows exactly where it is and would be sad if it ever closed down. But there is very little risk of that, if the queues outside are anything to go by. Kaffibarinn (along with dearly departed Sirkus) is probably THE place responsible for creating Reykjavik's party town reputation. Its heady mix of hyper-uber-cool music, people in trend-setting clothes, late night drunkenness and not nearly enough space for all the dancing sweaty bodies... well, that's really what it's all about. The place is open for coffee and a nice happy hour prices on beer during the day, they serve cocktails and have a nice range of gin, vodka and whiskey. Disc jockey every night with various music. Mostly House during the weekends. They do not like photography inside the bar, it has been like that for many years and they do like their privacy. It´s nothing personal.
