Kiki Queer Bar

Kiki Queer Bar on Laugavegur is Reykjavík's dedicated LGBTQ+ venue, drawing a welcoming, inclusive crowd of local queer residents and visitors of all ages, with a friendly, unpretentious dress code and an atmosphere that mixes relaxed conversation with high-energy dancing depending on the night. Music runs from pop and dance-floor classics to genre nights tied to drag and themed events, played by resident and guest DJs, with the room filling and the energy rising notably later in the evening. The drinks list covers standard cocktails, beer, and wine at typical Reykjavík prices, without a specific signature drink, and the bar is known more for its programming than its cocktail list. It operates on a limited weekly schedule, open only Friday and Saturday nights from 9 PM to 4:30 AM, unlike bars that run daily. There is no cover charge and no reservation system; the bar draws its biggest crowds during Reykjavík Pride in August and on nights with scheduled drag performances, when it can reach capacity and a short queue can form at the door, though there is no bottle-service or guest-list option.
