Our Take

Reykjavik's Heritage Cocktail Bar (Damon Albarn-Owned)

Kaffibarinn is the heritage Reykjavik bar — operating since 1999 in a wooden townhouse, partially owned by Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz). The room is dimly lit with leather banquettes, a long mahogany bar, and a small terrace in summer.

The cocktail program is precise rather than theatrical. The crowd is Reykjavik creative-class 30-50 and visiting cocktail tourists. Cash and card friendly. Walk-in friendly weekday early evenings.

Pair with Apotek for a complete Reykjavik cocktail evening.
