Our Take
Reykjavik's Hidden Speakeasy
Petersen Suite is a speakeasy on the upper floor of a building near the centre of Reykjavik. Black painted walls, low warm lighting, around 30 seats, and a serious cocktail programme. The room is intentionally hard to find.
The drinks are precise. The bartenders are formally trained. The cocktail menu rotates seasonally with thoughtful original cocktails using Icelandic ingredients.
The crowd is mid-thirties Reykjavik cocktail enthusiasts and visiting tourists. Pair with Apotek for a complete Reykjavik cocktail evening.
