Jungle Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Reykjavik

10/10 favorite bar in Reykjavik! A friend and I had an amazing experience with Alex and Daniel super friendly and chill. Listen this is not a bar you go to, to order some freaking Long Islands, Jagger bombs, vodka redbull bs, blue mthfks, etc. Shoot I mean you can… but go to an American bar for that (yes they got those out there) this is more elevated! We had gone during happy hour and literally drank most of the menu. The drinks were around $14.75USD so around 2000ISK. Every damn drink is well balanced it’s frustrating that not all bartenders have this skill. Alex is very knowledgeable and knows how to make an excellent cocktail. Both gentlemen are very passionate about the craft and that’s respectable on its own but the end result is Jesus Christ unbelievably tasteful. To put it this way we were so focused on our conversation with Alex and Daniel (popped in and out) and drinks that we missed our bus to Sky Lagoon (we made the next one) but we honestly did not want to leave because we were having a blast. We ran to the bus terminal but yeah our bus had left the second we arrived. Super chill ambiance y’all...

We’re visiting from NY we stopped in here Thursday night after having dinner at punk. Loved the ambiance here. The decor is beautiful and is somewhat of a speakeasy. We didn’t have food but the drinks were really good and the service was amazing! Daniel and Oliver were our servers/bartenders and they really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

Drinks: the headless horseman was our fave from the menu. Then Oliver made it with a different spin, call it maybe “ the homeless horseman” lol whatever they decide to name it, it is soo good! We also ordered the pinkman, brass monkey, and the date-ini. Everyone loved their drinks and they were willing to make whatever changes we asked for, like changing the type of alcohol in...

The drinks at Jungle were so unique and all tasted amazing!!!! We tried a majority of the signature cocktails and the entire menu had a fantastic blend of sweet, savory, and herbaceous drinks that were truly the best drinks I have ever had. Our mixologists, Mikael and Olivar (sorry for any misspellings) were extremely knowledgeable regarding the chemistry of each drink/ingredient and were so friendly. We loved talking with them and learning more about the process; you can tell they love what they do and are excited to share their knowledge with customers! 100% recommend listening to their suggestions. I wish we weren't leaving Reykjavik tomorrow as this has become our favorite bar!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful time and...
