Den Danske Kro

Den Danske Kro, translating from Danish to "The Danish Pub," is a popular Danish-style pub located in downtown Reykjavik. Known for its lively atmosphere, it is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike to grab drinks and listen to live music.

Den Danske Kro opened in 2009 and quickly established itself as one of the more popular bars in downtown Reykjavik. On weekdays, the homey decor makes it a good pub to sit down in, selecting from a wide selection of beers, watch sports, or play a game of darts with your friends. The bar has a nice outdoor area - perfect for people-watching over a pint on a sunny day.

On weekends, Den Danske Kro is one of the more popular nightlife spots, and you can expect a bustling atmosphere as the club fills up. Troubadors are a common sight, playing a mix of Icelandic and English classics, making it a great venue to see what authentic Icelandic partying looks like.

Iceland is under strong influence from Denmark, having been under Danish rule for centuries until gaining independence in 1944. Today, the two countries maintain strong diplomatic ties, and Denmark continues to have a significant influence on Icelandic culture and heritage.

If you're looking for a casual atmosphere where you can have a relaxing drink on a weekday or unwind in song and dance on the weekend, you can't go wrong with Den Danske Kro. We recommend going full Dane and getting a shot of Gammeldansk to go with your Tuborg Classic. Skål!
