OrderA juicy lamb or beef burger, or a couple of the Icelandic small plates.
TipHappy hour runs 15:00-18:00 daily, and karaoke and bingo nights keep it lively.

OrderSmall plates off the Argentine grill, ideally during happy hour.
TipOpen from 11:30 for lunch, with a long bar that fills early for the discounted hour.
