8 wine bars worth the trip across Iceland, editor-ranked by TableJourney. All Iceland guides.
Vinstukan Tiu Sopar ★ 4.4 · Reykjavik
101 · Laugavegur 27, 101 Reykjavik
Vinstukan Tiu Sopar on Laugavegur pours zippy natural wines with halibut and warm halloumi, one of Reykjavik's leading low-intervention wine bars.
Tip: Strong vegetarian small plates alongside the funky natural list. Book ahead, the room is compact.
Port 9 ★ 4.3 · Reykjavik
101 · Veghusastigur 7-9, 101 Reykjavik
Port 9 on Veghusastigur is Iceland's oldest dedicated wine bar, a dim side-street Reykjavik room of emerald sofas pouring over fifty wines old and new.
Tip: Opened in 2016 on a quiet lane off Laugavegur. Come for a quiet glass rather than a loud night.
Konsulat Wine Room ★ 4.2 · Reykjavik
101 · Hafnarstraeti 17-19, 101 Reykjavik
Konsulat Wine Room on Hafnarstraeti pairs curated wine flights with matched food in a Nordic library setting, a polished Reykjavik wine bar in a hotel.
Tip: The by-country flights, often Italian, are the way in. Quiet and grown-up rather than a party spot.
Brut Wine Bar ★ 4.2 · Reykjavik
101 · Posthusstraeti 2, 101 Reykjavik
Before dinner service, Brut on Posthusstraeti runs as a Reykjavik wine bar with an award-nominated list and Portuguese tinned seafood in the Radisson Blu.
Tip: The wine list runs to forty pages with playful categories. A grown-up aperitif spot before the kitchen opens.
Skal Wine Bar ★ 4.2 · Reykjavik
101 · Njalsgata 1, 101 Reykjavik
Skal on Njalsgata doubles as a natural-wine bar, pouring low-intervention bottles alongside its seasonal Icelandic small plates in this corner of Reykjavik.
Tip: Drop in for natural wine and a snack without committing to the full menu. Closed early in the week.
Apero Vinbar ★ 4.1 · Reykjavik
101 · Laugavegur 20b, 101 Reykjavik
Apero Vinbar sits above Laugavegur 20b, a small Reykjavik wine bar matching boutique European pours with canneles and scallops in a tucked-away room.
Tip: Upstairs and easy to miss, with blind tastings on request. The savoury-sweet snacks set it apart.
Bodega ★ 4.0 · Reykjavik
101 · Tysgata 8, 101 Reykjavik
Bodega on Tysgata is a relaxed Reykjavik wine bar of open bottles by the glass, paired with steamed edamame and baked camembert just off the Laugavegur strip.
Tip: More casual than the gastronomic rooms, good for a spontaneous glass. The baked camembert is the snack.
Uppi ★ 4.0 · Reykjavik
101 · Adalstraeti 12, 101 Reykjavik
Uppi sits above Fish Market on Adalstraeti, a Reykjavik wine bar pouring glasses to match sushi and small plates sent up from the kitchen downstairs.
Tip: The relaxed upstairs way into the Fish Market kitchen. Good for wine and a few rolls without a full dinner.
