Best nightclubs Reykjavík

This address, which is a bar and restaurant during the day, is transformed in the evening, especially on Friday and Saturday, into a club where all Reykjavík meets. The decoration and the style are chic: appreciate the Philippe Stark lamps, the leather sofa, the retro interior in spite of a little small room when the bar is crowded. The music is pop and very FM, but the atmosphere is good and often overexcited. Beware, the minimum age to enter is 20 years old and a rather hipster/trendy dress code must be respected in general to be able to enter.

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.

Anyone visiting the city centre of the capital is bound to pass by the Kiki Queer Bar! With its colourful rainbow façade, it's hard to miss. The only officially queer club in the capital, the atmosphere is always good-natured and happy hour is held until 11pm. After 11pm, the bar becomes a dance club, with an eclectic musical program, with a nice share of nostalgic sounds from the 1990's and 2000's. To spend a relaxing moment in the heart of the city, whether you are LGBT or not, come and dance in this unmissable place!

Fancy a drink in one of the capital's legendary bars? Popular with Icelanders, the Dillon is a local institution, renowned for its weekend concerts, with a strong emphasis on rock and has launched many bands and young talents in recent years. There is a motley atmosphere with all kinds of clientele, from the tattooed rocker to the nerdy student. The decor is pleasant, all in brick in an old house in the city centre. In the summer, a small garden allows you to enjoy the midnight sun.

Located in the city centre, if the address is rather quiet in the afternoon and early evening, the place quickly turns into a crowded place in the evening. The atmosphere rises quickly and you can see people dancing on the tables, an atmosphere that will not leave you indifferent. Moviegoers will recognize this as the setting for the book and film 101 Reykjavík. Kaffibarinn is one of the oldest bars in the Icelandic capital, and as such, will offer you memorable evenings... a place to try on occasion.

If you've ever been to Reykjavík, you'll have seen its rainbow-colored facade! So, rather than just photographing it, don't hesitate to push open the door of Bravó. Openly gay-friendly, this bar is great if you fancy a beer to celebrate your arrival in Iceland, even if you're traveling alone. You'll meet tourists here, but also plenty of locals enjoying happy hour. To make sure you have room, don't come too late, as the bar is small and fills up fast!
