Created in 2013, the Paloma club located near the old port of the capital is one of the favorite addresses of Reykjavikers to end the evening. Relatively untouched by mass tourism, this club is appreciated for its large dance floors, but also for its friendly atmosphere. The music is as unpredictable as it is eclectic, moving happily from reggae tracks to techno/platinum sounds. Sometimes local bands perform. Beware, the place can get crowded, so always keep an eye on your stuff.

Located near the old port and the city center, here is a place for your parties. Faceted ball on the ceiling, big bar and rococo prints, welcome to Pablo Discobar! Here, come and taste the flavours of Latin America, dishes with a so caliente atmosphere. Rather atypical in the ice island, but the place is worth the detour with delicious cocktails served in beautiful glasses, and a music more 1980s than latino. Don't hesitate to ask the waiters to advise you on the choice of cocktail, which they can even personalise for you on request.
