About the pub

The English Pub has been welcoming locals and visitors in the heart of Reykjavík since 2007 — a proper British pub and sports bar a short walk from Austurvöllur square, and a must-visit on any night out downtown.

Live music and pub atmosphere at The English Pub in Reykjavík

Step inside for warm lighting, dark wood, gold and burgundy tones and that unmistakable pub atmosphere locals and visitors love. We host live music every night, show live football — Premier League, Champions League and more — on five big screens, run a daily Happy Hour 16–19 with offers on beer and wine, and have a cosy outdoor area when the weather allows.
