    Didnt try the food so cant speak to that. Great staff working the bar, good bartenders and friendly security. Bartender made excellent drinks. Definitely a nice bar but there were some pretty creepy old dudes lerking around the bar who were staring at some of the girls like he was picturing them undressed.

    Menu is limited to mostly expensive burgers. No chicken here. Lively drinking hall with sports on the screens.

    Good bar with a great happy hour special (2 for 1 cocktails!). Food is pretty good as well. One of my favorite bars in Reykjavík, just wish they had more events!

    Great idea, and great atmosphere. There are even mini jukeboxes on the tables, a really good experience. However, the food was poor, over cooked burgers and not presented very well, shame really, it could have been great.

    Probably the worst pub in Reykjavik, and most definitely the saddest excuse of an American bar I have ever been to. The place was half empty (no wonder) and the live music was uninteresting. Ordered the smallest and most thinned out margarita I have ever tasted.

    Good place for a quick bite, but the taste was merely acceptable. The fries were the only ones above average while the ribs were just not the worst I've had, and the burger Unique. The lack of mayo, pickles, a proper bun and some tasty veggies, turned the good pattie into quite a waste. The dirty sauce, a mix of mayo and mustard(mainly mustard), was sour and not complementary to the fries in any way. The design of the place was really nice, unfortunately at the time I went there, the wifi was not working

    It's a great bar to visit in Iceland. It's got 2 dance floors on either side of a small strip of the bar. Lots of fun to dance and it is right in the middle of Reykjavik's night life center

    Lunch promo is really cheap, a burger, 3 wings, fries and a beer/soda for just 1990 kr is a good deal. I ate there like 3 days

    I like the fact that they have a children's menu not something so usual in this part of the world. There is wheelchair accessible entrance here. The space is super spacious and it is also a sports bar. Kitchen opens late. I like the pistachio shake. Good service.

    The food was excellent and delivered in a very timely manner, ordered a meal deal consisting of fries which were perfectly salted and had the right amount of crunch, hotwings that were indeed very fiery but had a cool sauce that kept refreshing the temperature as to not overload my tongue with the usual numbing burn of standard hotwings, there are no complaints with the burger and although the menu is very small and quaint when it comes to food, the chef has my praise nonetheless because they have the formula down to a T. The music and ambience of the venue is comforting and warm with a few signs to chuckle at with tongue and cheek humour. The service wasn't overbearing but instead just very convenient and on-time. This is a bar after all so a big food menu isn't to be expected but rather I encourage them to expand their range food-wise as the person in the kitchen clearly knows their way around cooking up enforcing. Thumbs up 5/5.

    Good fries and beer. Just stopped in for a drink and glad I did. Customer service was also good.

    As an American myself, this is the worst representation of an American bar ever. The staff overcharged us for our drinks. Three shots and three drinks for $126 USD??? Terrible service, music, ambience, drinks, and terrible representation of American culture. We recognize we are visitors in this country and paid without questioning, but left quickly thereafter. I wouldn’t have to pay that in Manhattan! The entire street is segregated by country. If you’re going to don a bar by nationality “American,” “Irish” or “English,” you should have a better understanding of the cultures. Terrible hospitality. Don’t waste your time or money.

    First of all, I have a gut. My gut demands a steady supply of cheeseburgers. I am known in some circles as "Girthquake" I am a cagefighting legend from the Yukon Territory. I once ate 10 cheeseburgers then proceeded to beat a man into submission in a sanctioned contest. I am a hog bodied warrior fueled by cheeseburgers and the insatiable desire for submission grappling.

    Cool place but 20 USD for an IPA? Not worth it

    This place was pretty cool. Good for nightlife. But the food and drink prices were outrageous. It was average pricing for my opinion. Did you offer happy hour though which was great.$12 a drink for happy hour $25 a drink regular price

    Normally I wouldn't recommend going into an American bar when on vacation but so many of the locals go there that its almost recommendedplus there is great live music (both in English and in Icelandic)

    The happy hour is sold incorrectly in a way to rip you off.

    Walked in and asked "what is a part of happy hour?"

    I was told "beer and cocktails."

    I ordered a beer and cocktail and paid a full and inflated price.

    I responded and said, "but you said it was happy hour?"

    I was told, "yes, but this doesn't count!"

    I asked where it states what is on happy hour, I was told they don't actually state this on menus.

    So how do you know what to order in happy hour?

    Seriously misleading.

    The fact that someone asked about happy hour, then told its on beer and cocktails, then orders that, then told it doesn't count is very disappointing. It's a real let down to Iceland's tourists.

    Clearly set up to mislead and rip people off.
