Sæmundur í Sparifötunum

Inside the converted biscuit factory that also houses the Kex Hostel, this gastropub looks straight out of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with its tattooed and bearded bartenders, extensive craft beer list (they also brew their own), and mismatched furniture. The menu is priced for the hostel crowd, though it’s still one of the best and most reliable options in town. Courses range from elevated bar snacks like baked goat cheese to larger meals like pumpkin curry and fried chicken with fermented hot sauce. Live jazz is offered on occasion.
