Welcome to Gamla

Walk right in,or book a table.

Gamla Reykjavík is a pub the way pubs are meant to be: honest food, cold taps and a room that warms up as the evening goes on. No booking needed, but if you’d like a table waiting, a phone call is all it takes. You’ll find us on Austurstræti, directly across from Parliament, and there’s always room for one more.
