"Record Shopping at 12 Tónar 12 Tónar is one of Iceland 's longest-serving record stores and is also a local record label. Housed in a traditional wooden house in downtown Reykjavik, it's the best place to find all kinds of Icelandic music—from classical and pop to rock and underground rarities; you can even get locally produced, non-commercial one-offs. It's an elegant space with listening stations, and an espresso machine upstairs. They hold the occasional concert downstairs."

12 stars for 12 Tónar! A fun and eclectic selection of local and global records with a great little bar and a patio out back. Went downstairs and ran into a local band who were promoting their new EP and they invited us to their show the next night!Shoutout to Inspector Spacetime—sorry for getting in the way of your video shoot.

An amazing record store, with attached bar serving local craft brews.
In addition, it's our home from home for off-venue music events and regular live music supporting local bands. We love it!

Truly the best record store in Iceland!
Super hip vibes with a nice cafe attached. The downstairs has a small but incredibly curated used section with incredible titles. Prices are very nice and fair for the area.

Cool spot. We showed up at 21:00 and there was a super fun bar scene going upstairs with a local DJ spinning a very fun eclectic music set. Beer was great and staff was friendly. Most the records were downstairs. It’s a pretty small selection but well curated. New vinyl is well organized. Used is a bit cluttered and a bit hard to navigate. Fair prices. No listening station I could find but there might be one up near the bar. Didn’t leave with any records as new repress vinyl isn’t my thing.

I loved this place, we crossed by it on our first night in Reykjavik and it looked like such a fascinating space, full of life and conversation. We got to visit today just as we were leaving, and I so wish I had more to spend because the record collection here is SUPERB. Best I could leave with was 2 cheap CDs but I’m still glad to have souvenirs!

I found a paint of Sigur Ros album cover on the window. That's why I traveled Iceland from so far away Japan. I took a cup of chai that the nice guy put in. This record shop is so lovely place filled with music lovers. Takk.

Great little record store in Reykjavik, comfortable chairs so you can listen to stuff, and an extra level down in the basement. We were visiting from Canada as part of Iceland Airwaves and saw Groa perform live there. Very cool experience to see the .band up close with so many other enthusiastic people, absolutely amazing atmosphere!
