Microbar Reykjavík

A cozy, dog friendly spot for beer lovers and a great place to sample Iceland’s growing craft beer scene. Tucked away in the city center, it has a laid-back, slightly quirky atmosphere that makes it feel welcoming whether you’re dropping in alone, with friends, or before heading out for the night. The highlight here is the selection. They offer a rotating lineup of Icelandic craft beers alongside international brews, and the tasting flights are especially popular if you want to try several styles without committing to a full pint. Staff are generally knowledgeable and happy to recommend beers based on your taste, which makes it approachable even if you’re new to craft beer. Prices, as expected in Iceland, are on the higher side, but that’s the norm everywhere in Reykjavík. What you get in return is variety and the chance to try local brews that can be hard to find elsewhere. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, with enough character to keep it interesting without feeling too busy or overwhelming. The space itself is on the smaller side, so it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends or evenings when beer enthusiasts flock here. Seating can be limited, so arriving earlier is a good idea if you want a table. Overall, Micro Bar is a solid choice for anyone curious about Icelandic beer culture. It’s not the cheapest night out, but the variety, relaxed vibe, and central location make it one of the better spots in Reykjavík for a drink that feels both local and memorable.

A cosy little bar in the centre of Reykjavík — perfect if you enjoy trying different beers. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with a good mix of locals and travellers. The beer selection is excellent, especially the local Icelandic craft beers on tap. The staff were welcoming and happy to give recommendations, which made choosing much easier. It’s a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring the city. Would happily come back for another tasting flight! 🍻

Didn't eat. Excellent blueberry sour and one other available. Small and intimate setting, nice staff. Recommended beer your and offering flight of beers.

I’ve never had such bad craft beer! It tasted like it was made of water! And there was no clear price listed! We ordered a set and it cost 5,000 ISK! An Icelandic old man sitting next to me told me the price I paid was way too expensive! I went to another craft beer place and it was actually really good, much cheaper, and the atmosphere was way better than this one! We even talked with the Icelandic old man about it — there was no price anywhere, and he couldn’t find it either! It really felt like they were charging differently depending on the customer.

Well worth a visit, in Rekiyvik. Doesn't look much from outside. But welcoming cozy. Great choice of ales. The porter was to die for. The session IPA initially wasn't my bag but as the glass went down it got better and better. Excellent Session ale.

I enjoyed a hazy as well as a stout here. The beer was well done and hit the spot! The atmosphere was great too. Seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists. It's close enough to the town center to be convenient but just a couple blocks off the center so that it isn't overrun. The bartender did a great job welcoming people...with just enough attitude to make me like her style.

Friendly little bar that had 14 beers on the go when we visited in a range of styles from lactose sours, lagers, stouts and NEIPAs. There's also a good selection of spirits, but the beer was excellent, so we stuck to that. The barman was happy to let us try the beers first, so when we found a number we liked, we had to stay to properly drink them all.

Very cosy place with great beer selection. Friendly bartenders. Special shoutout to Karol for speaking Hungarian, such a lovely surprise.
