Gaukurinn

About Gaukurinn

Gaukurinn covers the bar essentials of wine and cocktails from a downtown Reykjavík address, in the 101 postcode where the capital's nightlife concentrates. For travellers staying centrally, that puts it on the natural walking route of any evening out.

Since drinks rather than dinner are the point here, pair it with a meal somewhere nearby and let this be the round that follows. Central 101 puts it within a short walk of the bars along Laugavegur, so it reads as one link in a downtown crawl rather than a destination in itself — a good fit for a first or last night in Reykjavík.
