Lemmy — Restaurant in Reykjavik

What Can I say that hasnt been said already? INCREDIBLE staff, INCREDIBLE food, INCREDIBLE beer. We showed up after a massive airline issue, missing bags, day late, no change of clothes. We showered of course, then walked around the corner and saw the Star Wars VHS in the window and had to go in. We spend almost every night for the next week here. They put up with all of us EVE Capsuleers for FanFest, They were always friendly, and were genuinely excited to see me and my wife whenever we walked back in. Ardna (im not sure if that is correct spelling based on my US keyboard) was the most AMAZING! Friends within minutes, and are still friends now.

Staff never missed a beat on the Meet and Greet night for the convention, even without notice (at least they didnt know about the massive descent of gamer nerds in one night), and they were throwing drinks and food for one of the local bands the night before in a fully packed bar as if it was just a regular tuesday. Top tier service, absolutely wonderful staff, and we will DEFINITELY be coming back when we come back for the next FanFest! Love and miss...

"Babe, Babe," my ol' Dutch said to me as she delicately sipped her pint of Guinness, "you know Lemmy's band?" "Motorhead?" I said. "Well, it's not pronounced Motor-hed. It's pronounced Motor-hayd." "Is it really?" I said. "That's fascinating. Tell me why you think that." "I don't think it - I know it. Everyone thinks the name is spelled M-O-T-O-R then H-E-A-D but the last bit is actually spelled H-A-E-D. Mmm-hmm. Yep. So it's pronounced 'hayd' and not 'hed.'" "I see..." I said. "Where did you see it spelled in this idiosyncratic fashion? On one of the band's albums?" "No, in a bit of graffiti on a toilet wall in a pub I used to go to before I started knocking about with you." "Right, right... Oh, well. You learn something new every day, don't you?" "Course you do. Now why don't you go and ask that barman to play 'The Eight of Spades' on his record player?" "Do you know I might just do that, even though it might be a bit...

Loved the dive bar aesthetic but as a bar / music venue owner I have a critical eye. Music was a bit disappointing. Was advertised as "MTV Unplugged" but music didn't really fit the theme. Stage was a cramped space between booths by the bar. Large greenhouse beer garden in back which was nice for hanging out, but they close it off from the small live music area so you can't hear it. Free 90s video games around the space but some of them were broken. Huge "self service" draft beer area in the back but logistics were unclear. Was it all you can drink ? Food looked good but was pricey for simple bar food. For some reason they allowed outside food. Hope they are able to thrive as many venues in area seem to be...
