Faroe Islands

Entertainment in Faroe Islands

  1. A

    Café Natúr

    The city's most atmospheric café pub is the hub of Tórshavn's raucous live scene at weekends. They serve a good range of brews and several great-value bar meals. The recommended if misnamed 'Tortilla' is actually a filling burrito-and-salad plate.

    Gallari Jinx

    Perched behind big picture windows overlooking the main road, this narrow, artfilled diner-café morphs into a hip youth barscene at night. The espressos are good while tsatziki or goats'-cheese and pesto sandwiches offer salvation for vegetarians.

  3. Norðurlandahúsið

    This modern, architecturally interesting cultural centre has a turf roof and a mini-Stonehenge in the carpark. It frequently houses concerts, plays, exhibitions and conferences. There's a pleasant cafeteria.

    Café Karlsborg

    Exposed beams, a whitewashed 'rock' wall and plenty of endearingly kitschy knick-knacks make this Tórshavn's most atmospheric harbourside café. Sadly the cappuccinos are half-hearted.

    Sjónleikarhúsið

    This community centre offers Faroese cultural evenings with chain-dancing, storytelling and a few local nibbles.

    Tórshøll Pub

    Drinking in this smoky local dive is a daring social experiment. Occasional Faroese folk music.

    Café Kheops

    The idiosyncratic copper-panelled bar just about saves this café pub from dull mediocrity.
