Microbar is the basement craft-beer room on Vesturgata, near the corner of Aðalstræti, that pulled together fourteen taps of Icelandic-only craft beer in 2012 and has been rotating them ever since. The bar is small (around thirty seats, half of them at the bar itself), the lighting is warm, and the staff treat the tap list as a working menu that changes by the week. The right way to understand Microbar is to read the current board.
The remaining six taps rotate weekly. The board on the wall is hand-chalked; ask the staff for what is on if you cannot see clearly. The bar's pricing is honest by Icelandic standards (a half-litre around 1,400-1,900 ISK depending on style); a small tasting flight of four pours is around 2,400 ISK. Open every day, closes 1am Sunday through Thursday, 3am on Friday and Saturday.
