Reykjavík Beer & Spirits Tasting Tour

Your tour begins at Ingólfur Square by Hlöllabátar sandwich shop

Meet your guide outside Hlöllabátar, facing Ingólfstorg Square. Get a quick primer on Iceland’s drinking laws, then choose beer or a traditional liqueur, snaps, so the tastings match your pace.

Walk Reykjavík’s compact downtown bar lanes

Follow your guide through the city center’s snug streets, where neon signs glow against corrugated metal and old stone. Along the way, hear how a 74-year beer ban shaped local habits and nightlife.

Taste a flight at Skúli Craft Bar

Settle in at Skúli Craft Bar for your first pours and a clear read on Icelandic brewing, from crisp lagers to hop-forward ales. Your guide breaks down flavors and styles so you know what to order later.

Sip your way through popular bars Lemmy and Ölstofa

Next, hop between two classic stops for more tastings and easy conversation. Compare what’s in your glass, swap notes with the group, and pick up practical tips on where to eat and where Reykjavík stays lively.

Your tour ends at Ölstofa Bar

Finish your final tastings at Ölstofa Bar and step back into the night already oriented to the center. If you want to keep going, ask your guide for nearby late-night bites and the best next bar for your style.
