101 Reykjavik
Land of fire and ice, land of the sagas, land of Geysir, land of the Runtur, land of Halldor Laxness, land of lava...
They've even got a Blue Lagoon

Hi David,
I just spoke to my friend, Agusta, and the hottest club at the moment is Oliver, it is in Laugavegur (the main street). Be early to get in, she said.
Another good place is Thorvaldsen which is located in Austurvöllur.
Then, last but not least it is Kaffibarinn, located in one of the side streets of Laugavegur, famous from the movie 101 Reykjavik and famous from being partly owned by Damon Albarn (the singer from the band the Blur). Or maybe he has sold his share? I don't know, the place is tiny and always crowded at least.
Two cafes to recommend are Sufistinn, which is a book cafe, located in Laugavegur on the 2nd floor of the bookstore Mal og menning. It's really nice, you bring all the books, magazines you want from the bookstore and sit down and enjoy with your coffee. Then I recommend the "day after" cafe Grái Kötturinn, which is located in Hverfisgata (parallel street to Laugavegur). Excellent pancakes, fried eggs,bacon etc. and a cool place. A bit "Seinfeld" if you know what I mean.
So, have a nice time and we will meet on the 17th in Reykjavik :)
ciao
