Bad Mickey Bar

About Bad Mickey Bar

For a drink in the middle of Reykjavík, Bad Mickey Bar is one of the downtown options — a bar in the 101 postcode, the compact core where the capital's bar scene lives. It is the sort of place you find on foot rather than plan a trip around, which is exactly how downtown Reykjavík works best.

Spontaneity is the point with somewhere like this — a door you push open when the evening happens to lead you past it on a wander through the centre, rather than a fixture plotted in advance. On a first or last night in Reykjavík, it belongs to the loose, on-foot version of a night out, one stop among the many packed into these streets.
