2 live music in Reykjavik our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Reykjavik nightlife.
Gaukurinn ★ 4.0
101 · Tryggvagata 22, 101 Reykjavik
Gaukurinn on Tryggvagata is Reykjavik's scrappy grassroots live venue, a tiny stage for rock, punk, drag and DJ nights with some of the cheaper beer downtown.
Tip: A long-running home for new bands and drag shows. Check the gig calendar; cover is small or free.
Kex Hostel ★ 4.1
101 · Skulagata 28, 101 Reykjavik
The bar at Kex Hostel fills a former biscuit factory on Skulagata, a Reykjavik live-music room of jazz and indie gigs with harbour views and gastropub plates.
Tip: Free concerts and jam nights run most weeks in the old factory hall. The kitchen does proper food too.
