This joint is based on the same idea as Sirkus, which was a legendary bar which closed its doors few years ago. It's raw, ravey and friendly. The music is unpredictable, but always interesting.

This is one of my favorite artists, very nice sculptures, if you can't make it the museum just enter the garden and walk around and look at the sculptors, its free and always open, the garden that is.

Arts & Culture
It's the modern and contemporary art museum in Reykjavik. There is always an exhibition of Erro's work, who is a very nice Icelandic artist based in Paris for most of his life.
There are also always some other exhibitions there sometimes they are really nice.
