Íslenski Barinn

On January 22nd 2009, The Icelandic Bar was conceived, more precisely the idea of it, and only a few days later the bar had taken form. That day was special for the fact that it was when tear gas was used to control the crowd protesting in front of the parliament building only a few steps away. Hundreds fled the gas, seeking shelter at a bar that was about to transform after this day. As staff and guests helped those fleeing the gas, an epiphany struck the bar owner, the place should be a shelter to a shocked nation. The best things that emerged out of the panic were the helpfulness and caring, it was the fake world that collapsed and what grew out of the ashes was the old way of thinking. Times do change and the Icelandic bar closed down but it never quite went away. Recently the old bar keeper passed the torch on to Veronika, who used to tend bar at the old place.

Veronika reopened in a new location and it wasn’t long until the old gang of locals started frequenting there. The Icelandic Bar is now a place to meet up, rather to plan the future than to comfort one another, and start a new era of building up and heading on.

We would love to have you with us on our journey forward.

Lebowski bar

The 1998 film The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers is not only a film, it has now become a lifestyle. With the emergence of the Lebowski Bar in Reykjavik, everyone can now be a part of The Dude‘s peculiar world. Lebowski Bar goes all in, in every way, having divided the interior into four separate themes—bowling alley, a southern-style porch, a ‘50s diner, and a kind of ‘60s playboy lounge bar on the upper floor. Opened in April 2012 Lebowski Bar has created a great reputation among locals and travelers. Film buffs can probably guess at the inspiration behind this great venue and, judging by the track record of its owners, most people can guess what a great time they are gonna have here!

Whether or not you’re familiar with ‘The Big Lebowski’ – the infamous 1998 film by the Coen brothers – you can’t suppress a smile when you walk back in time to this retro American bar. Inside you’ll find the equivalent of a good ole’ fashioned porch to hang out on, where you can put your feet up with a bourbon and imagine the heat of a balmy evening in the USA. Lebowski Bar opens 11AM everyday serving lunch and happy hour from 4-7PM. There is a DJ playing every night from 9PM and 5HD screens showing live sport events.

All kinds of people come here,” the staff say. “Icelanders, tourists, everybody. With food and music that suits everyone, our customers range from age 20 to 85.” On those rare, but beautiful sunny days in Iceland, Lebowski Bar is the place to be: the huge outdoor terrace opens whenever the temperature rises above “a steamy 5°C.” But even with all this going for it, what Lebowski Bar prides itself most on is its delicious, diner-style menu with one-of-a-kind burgers, thick and creamy milkshakes, and oh yeah WHITE RUSSIANS. Lebowski Bar has over 23 different variations of White Russians, the most popular one being the Cocaucasian, a regular White Russian topped with Cocoa Puffs. Some call it the brunch of champions, it’s delcious!

We welcome groups up to 300 for food and drink. We have four different areas that can accommodate any group size. Please send us an email info(at)lebowskibar.is and we will answer you as soon as possible. // Tökum vel á móti allt að 300 manna hópum í mat og drykk. Bjóðum uppá fjögur mismunandi svæði sem henta vel öllum hópastærðum. Endilega sendu okkur fyrirspurn á info(hjá)lebowskibar.is og við svörum um hæl með tilboði fyrir þinn hóp.
