Live Music entertainment in Reykjavík

    Celtic Cross

    If Víking beer isn’t doing it for you, head for a pint of Guinness at Celtic Cross. It is done up like a funeral parlour and features bands in the basement at weekends.

    Café Amsterdam

    At the time of writing, Reykjavík was reeling with shock as one of the city's oldest venues went bankrupt and a second pronounced that it no longer wanted to stage live bands! But the Reykjavík scene is robust and strangely organic, and other venues are already beginning to emerge.

    Café Amsterdam has been around for aeons, but it now seems to be evolving as the new place to catch up-and-coming bands, and there are frequent live performances at various bars, pubs and clubs, including Nelly's, Sirkus and NASA.

    Hverfisbarinn

    This trendy bar and club attracts a young, dressy crowd and has long queues at weekends. It’s done out in a cool modern-Scandinavian style, which adds to the spacious feel. There’s live music on Thursday from 10pm, and DJs on Friday and Saturday.

    NASA

    The biggest nightclub in Reykjavík, NASA is a stripped-pine affair filled with Prada-clad crowds. It plays chart music and club anthems, and is the city’s main live-music venue – email for upcoming gigs.
