This luxurious rooftop bar recently opened on the top floor of Gamla Bíó, one of Iceland’s more decorated cultural hubs, and has so far only been advertised through word of mouth. Highly stylized, like a designated meeting point for Reykjavík’s petite bourgeoisie and the 101 hipster crowd (hipsters are still a thing, right?), the fully stocked bar will also serve food from October and onwards. Come for the great view and happy hour, stay for the talkative bartenders and Ölvisholt’s specially crafted Petersen beer (it’s a hoppy pilsner with fruity overtones and a flavourful finish).
