About this experience
EXPERIENCE THE BEST BARS IN REYKJAVIK.
On the Reykjavik Beer and Booze Tour, you will taste Icelandic craft beers or snaps from all around Iceland.
By joining our Reykjavik Pub Crawl you will experience an expert local who knows how to entertain as well as educate you about the fun & quirky history of beer & alcohol in Iceland.
We start off at the wonderful Skúli Craft bar for a selection of four Icelandic beers (Fleight), and there we use the opportunity to edutain you about the beer ban in Iceland until 1989 and more.
Then we take a short walk through the city center and visit another great beer for another fleight of beers and more entertaining stories. Finally we end up at the classic Olstofan ale tavern for a pint
We are happy to cater a little to your preferences for beer or spirits but at the same time encourage you to be adventurous.
You don’t have to be a special beer lover to have fun on our tour and maybe you will even be introduced to a beer style you will love.
