Bar Ananas
13
Klappastígur 38 Bar Ananas, named after that pizza topping that only decent people enjoy on their pizza (pineapple), is Reykjavík’s only beach bar, and it is truly a breath of fresh air for the otherwise dreary downtown scene. No sir, this is no dive bar, but a club, with an indoor smoking lounge, stairs, a spacious bar, a tiny dance floor, and a solid line of DJs that all aim to make you bust a move. It’s run by the same people as Boston, but it has a distinctly younger crowd in its mid to late 20s.
