Snorrabar - Nordic Hostel

About Snorrabar - Nordic Hostel

Drinks rather than dinner are the point at Snorrabar, the bar at Nordic Hostel in Reykjavík — beers, wine and cocktails, with a happy hour on the board. It sits outside the downtown core, which makes it more of a local stop than a destination in its own right.

The hostel setting shapes the crowd — this draws the budget-and-backpacker end of the travelling world, which makes it easy company for solo visitors after a day out from the city. Its spot on Snorrabraut near Hlemmur puts it just beyond the busiest streets, close enough to fold into a night that carries on into the centre afterwards.
