This is known to be one of the 'coolest' bars in Reykjavik. Its popular image acts as a huge crowd puller and getting a seat within is not as easy a task as you may think.

But the glow from the candle-lit tables within and the intimate little loft upstairs in the bar tells a different story. A good range of local Icelandic beer and traditional grub to go with it completes your memorable visit to Kaffibarinn!
