Kíkí Queer Bar

Kiki in downtown Reykjavík is a place that immediately stands out thanks to its colorful façade. It’s also a fun spot to visit at night, with live performances and a lively atmosphere. I stopped by on my last night in Iceland, and the vibes were on point. The crowd was great, the show was entertaining, and the energy throughout the venue made for a memorable evening. If you’re looking for a fun night out in Reykjavík, this is definitely a place worth checking out. Recommended.

I went there Saturday late night, because it was one of the only places that actually played dance music and folks danced! It's a small and yes, a bit under -ventilated space, but the employees were nice and so we're the women dancing. Yes, as some note, a couple of guys came in who apparently had no business inside, so I guess the gatekeeping could be better or perhaps charge a small entrance fee. Enjoy!

Spent our last night in Reykjavik here and it was so well worth it! The drag show was hysterical and fantastic, the drinks were good, and the service was really really friendly! The crowd was also very friendly and easygoing and made for a great welcoming night out!

I wanted to love this place. It was mediocre at best. Cons: there is terrible ventilation so it gets hot & steamy quick on a busy night. If people are smoking downstairs outside, you bet you’re going to smell it. Bathrooms were way too dark, you could barely see anything and they smell. Lastly, the space is small so they run out of seats fast on drag nights. I can appreciate what it’s supposed to represent, a safe space for the queers—but it needs work.

Great little place, though the music was so loud I could hardly hear what other people were saying. I came on a night where there was a drag performance and had a blast. The disco afterwards was lots of fun, letting me get out all the energy from the drinks. While I didn't meet many icelandic locals there, the people I did meet were all queer as far as I know. Biggest issue I have is how late it opens. 21:00 is a pretty late opening time, though it is open until 04:30 last I checked. Definitely a place to go if you want a queer party all night long.
