If you´re in Reykjavik for Christmas keep in mind many restaurants and cafes are closed on the 24th and 25th. So if you don't want to stack some food up in your hotel room go HERE for a fairly good list of places that are open in Reykjavik´s city center from 24th to 26th. Keep in mind some of those places require you to make a reservation in advance.
To your luck one of our our favorite spot in town, Babalu on Skólavörðustígur, will be open during the Christmas festive. On the 24th Babalu is open from 11 am to 6pm and on the 25th its open from 12 am to 11 pm. On New years eve Babalu is open from 11 am to 6 pm and on New Years day from 11 am to 11 pm. Trúnó Queer Restaurant/Cafe is closed on the 25th and 26th but opens again Monday 27th, click here to see Christmas opening hours. Club Barbara opens midnight on the 26th/27th for those who want to keep the party going.
If you´re here for New Years there are two great events to attend. The Queer Center´s New Years eve party takes place at Skólabrú 1 (city center), tickets available at the Queer Center on Laugavegur 3 and at the door. Trúnó and Barbara (Laugavegur 22) will team up and throw a glamorous New Years eve party as well, tickets available at Trúnó (no tickets at the door!). Men only Club MSC Iceland is open from 11 pm on the 31st and January 1st.
Wish you all Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
