Bravó

Bravó is a bar at Laugavegur 22 in central Reykjavik, Iceland, in the 101 district, known for a long daily happy hour and located beside Kiki Queer Bar. It opens from late morning and keeps discounted drinks going until about 20:00, which makes it one of the more budget-friendly stops on a street known for expensive alcohol. The atmosphere is casual and social, with a mixed crowd of locals, travellers and groups of friends starting their night, mostly adults in their twenties and thirties. There is no dress code, and everyday clothes are normal. The music is pop and dance, played at a level that supports conversation earlier in the day and builds toward the evening. The drinks programme is built around beer and standard bar drinks, with beer typically priced at about ISK 1,000-1,700 (roughly $8-14), the lower end reflecting happy hour prices. Opening hours are typically daily from late morning, with closing times that extend later at weekends. There is no cover charge, and reservations are not normally needed. The best time to visit for value is the afternoon and early evening before the happy hour ends, while Friday and Saturday nights are busier and more social. Because Kiki Queer Bar shares the same Laugavegur block, many groups spend the early part of the evening at Bravó and move next door later. It also sits near Kaldi Bar and Lebowski Bar, which makes it easy to build a multi-stop route. Visitors should note that alcohol is expensive in Iceland and that the legal purchase age is 20.
