Einstök Bar — Restaurant in Reykjavik

Arrived in Reykjavik after a long bike packing trip through the highlands. We met Bjorn the bartender at the Einstok Bar in Reykjavik who was so incredible wonderful and helpful. Not only did he greet us with a warm smile and kindness we have come to recognize as typical of the Icelandic people here but he was such fun and created an atmosphere at the bar that made it easy to meet and have fun with anyone willing to engage. All good nice people from all over the world! He personally located a company we had been searching for and called the owner in that moment directly!!! We had been trying to reach the company but had trouble navigating the Icelandic language on the website to buy a certain Skata stool we fell in love with that happens to be made right here In Iceland. Anyhow. We also really love this beer and will continue to drink it when we get back hone. The Einstok bar is beautiful and the music is really relaxing funky and a perfect vibe for a few beer. We could hear one another and the chairs and bar were super comfy. Loved to people watch from the window counter too. All in all a really great experience. ...

This is the place where everyone should go and support!!

All four of the bartenders I met were some of the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life! They were attentive, kind, genuine, and were more than willing to help with any questions one may have had.

The drinks were really quite nice! The beers on draft were really good, and they have a nice selection of bottled beer as well! They have Brennivin, Fernet Branca, and a wide array of other liquor and liqueur choices along with a nicely constructed cocktail menu including many different gin cocktails if that is your style.

All in all, I cannot advocate for supporting and going to this place anymore. (Do not go to Dillon Whiskey Bar- the lady "running the place" is an absolute monster, and I have never felt less welcome).

Go to Einstöck Bar!! You will not be...

Terrible service.

Just for some context, there were very few people inside the bar at the time, around 5-6 people at most. It was quiet. Despite that, we were standing at the bar for well over a minute whilst a member of staff was talking to two American tourists. We were standing a meter away, so it wasn't as if the staff member didn't notice us.

Meanwhile another member of staff was sat down behind the bar on their phone.

We just decided to leave at that point.

In terms of customer service, the only bad experience we had in Reykjavik. I would strongly recommend others to avoid this establishment, not least because there are many great establishments nearby where staff actually appear to know what...
