Gaukurinn, as it’s fondly known, proclaims itself the oldest club in Reykjavík. For live music fans —from ambient to punk to death metal—it’s highly recommended. There might be a small cover charge and come early to avoid the queues.

What started life as a small chess club has now become one of Reykjavík’s leading venues for live music, including blues, jazz and rock. There’s even a regular pub quiz held here (in Icelandic, of course).

There’s usually a cover charge to get inside the thumping, thronging dancing rooms of Pravda. Weekend DJs play all the latest hits and some old classics, while summer weekdays occasionally see some great live jazz performances. Upcoming acts will be advertised on posters outside.

Thorvaldsen serves great food by day and even better music and cocktails by night. The old disco and pop classics draw a hip crowd of thirty to fortysomethings, and while the music’s great, the dancefloor can get pretty crowded. If you’ve got it, this is the place to flaunt it.
