Top Karaoke Bars in Reykjavik

This downtown gastropub hosts karaoke nights on Wednesdays starting at 9:00 pm. Icelandic singer and disco style diva, Þórunn Antonía, hosts this evening of party karaoke in the basement of the pub with the country’s up-and-coming DJ act, DJ Dóra Júlía. This live entertainment is open to everyone.

5. Glaumbar
When speaking of the top bars in Reykjavik, Glaumbar is often forgotten because of its slightly run-down character. However, sometimes these off-the-map places can make the most memorable karaoke experiences as there is absolutely no standard to uphold. The weekly line-up changes so check in when you visit to see exactly when they will be hosting their next lively karaoke night.
Glaumbar, Tryggvagata 20/101, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland, +354 552 6868
6. Loft Hostel
Bar, American, Northern European
7. Ölver Sportbarinn
This bar is the classic sports bar and has been around since 1984, back when beer was still illegal. It hosts many sporting event viewings that are a delight to watch on the 20 screens surrounding the place. See the list of karaoke songs on their website before you visit for their weekly karaoke night.
