Smiðjan Brugghús

About Smiðjan Brugghús

Vík, on Iceland's south coast, has a brewery of its own in Smiðjan Brugghús — a pub and grill where house-brewed beers share the table with burgers, grilled meat and a proper run of vegetarian and vegan options, all in a friendly, street-food-leaning style. Takeaway is available if you'd rather eat back at your accommodation.

Most south-coast itineraries stop the night in Vík — the region's main hub, close to the black-sand beach at Reynisfjara and the promontory at Dyrhólaey — and choices for a sit-down dinner in the village are few. A brewery with a broad menu, vegetarians and meat-eaters equally catered for, makes a reassuring end to a long day of driving and weather.
