Our Take on The Drunk Rabbit

The Drunk Rabbit sits in City Centre, Reykjavik, and earns its reputation as one of the city's most reliable sports bars. The room is calibrated for the work it does. Lighting is low without being theatrical, the seating is built for two- to four-person conversations, and the bar itself is the focal point rather than the music or the decor.

The list rewards the curious. The Drunk Rabbit Pitcher is the headline pour and a useful first order. From there, classics are built to spec and the originals lean on technique rather than novelty. Pricing sits at $$ for the city — fair for the precision and the room.

Service is the differentiator. Bartenders here read the table quickly and pace drinks to the conversation. Crowd notes: rating of 4.5 reflects steady delivery rather than a moment in the sun. The Drunk Rabbit has been pouring at this level long enough that locals treat it as a standard, not a destination.

For our editors, The Drunk Rabbit sits comfortably in the conversation about the best sports bars in Reykjavik. If you have an evening here, build it around the signature, then explore the rest of the menu.

What to Order

Drunk Rabbit Pitcher

The house signature. Order this first to understand what The Drunk Rabbit is about and how the bar approaches its category.

Bartender's Choice

Tell the bartender two flavours you enjoy and one spirit you do not. The team here is skilled enough to deliver something off the menu that fits.

House Old Fashioned

A useful benchmark drink. The Old Fashioned is where you can read the bar's stocking philosophy and the bartender's technique side by side.

Late Night Pour

Move to a longer aged spirit, a fortified wine, or a single-cask whisky for the back half of the evening. The Drunk Rabbit keeps a thoughtful back bar.

Best Time to Visit

Match nights are loud and full. For groups, book ahead. Off-match evenings and Sunday afternoons offer a steadier rhythm.

Who It Is For

Match-day groups, casual sports fans, and anyone who wants pints and screens without compromise on either.
