![Interior of Bryggjuhúsið, Reykjavik, Iceland.]()
Phone: +354 535 5900
Address: Vesturgata 2, Reykjavík
Bryggjuhúsið, one of the oldest buildings in town, sits on what used to be quite literally the old town city centre. With its sequestered and well-heated patio, it allows guests to enjoy outdoor seating during the winter months as well as during the summer. Bryggjuhúsið offers an array of experiences alongside the wine bar, such as a fromagerie, a small yet varying menu and private tastings of everything from wines to local spirits. The wine list has an eclectic feel to it, carrying some well-known crowd pleasers at its bulk, but seasoned with a few examples from some of the less commercial...

Phone: +354 511 6677
Address: Týsgata 8 101, Reykjavík
There is not a strict selection of wines by the glass at Bodega: you can either open a bottle to share or just have a glass. The wine list holds a blend of natural and conventional wines from all over with a few South American options.

![Kramber wine bar, Reykjavic, Iceland.]()
Phone: +354 869 7020
Address: Bergstaðastræti, Reykjavík
Known as Kramber, for short, this is a clever mesh of café-cum-wine bar located in the heart of Reykjavík’s downtown area. Not only is it on the same street as the famous Hallgrímskirkja landmark, it is attached to Kramhúsið, arguably the city’s most beloved dance school. What could possibly be more fitting after finishing up a burlesque class than a glass of sparkling loveliness next door? The compact wine list, which sports a fairly dense section on Champagne, offers a surprising price range that is only surpassed by its range of wines by the glass. The owners make a point of it to allow fo...

Phone: +354 832 2929
Address: Veghúsarstígur 9, Reykjavík
Not an easy place to find if it´s your first time in the city. However, if you can follow the signs, you will come to this venue that feels like your living room, with soft lights and music. The wine selection mainly focuses on the Old World and labels from South America, where both are part of the weekly by-the-glass selection.

![Interior of Skál restaurant and wine bar, Reykjavik, Iceland.]()
Phone: +354 5656515
Address: Njálsgata 1, Reykjavík
From a food stall to a cult classic. What started originally as one of many food stalls in an old bus station, Skál took its cult classic status and relocated to its very own space where it continues to flourish. Known as one of Reykjavík’s better dining options, it is perhaps known even better for its affinity for all things natural – specifically the wines. As petite lists go, this one offers a fair range of countries and styles, certain to fulfil all of your raw, orange and pét-nat needs.

![Inside at Uppi wine bar and lounge in Reykjavik, Iceland.]()
Phone: +354 571 8788
Address: Aðalstræti 12, Reykjavík
Downtown in Reykjavík’s city centre, Uppi, which translates directly to “up stairs” is a most welcome extension to the renowned restaurant Fiskmarkaðurinn. Literally, on the upper floor of the restaurant, this wine bar/lounge/restaurant has gained quite the following, and a well-deserved one at that. The menu is designed to offer light courses and sushi, though larger main courses are available as well. The secluded booths and nooks create a comfortable sense of privacy in what is usually an extremely busy venue. The team provides cordial and professional service enhanced by a sound understan...

Phone: +354 547 2380

The feeling here is like being in your friend's basement, cosy and homely. The difference is the wine list, with a lot of interesting options, well balanced and with a focus on natural wine. There will always be a sommelier to help you with your choice; exchange a few words about what you usually like to drink, and they will know what to pour.
