Lebowski Bar

Lebowski Bar is a themed bar at Laugavegur 20a, on Reykjavik's main nightlife street in the 101 district of Iceland's Capital Region. The décor and menu follow the film The Big Lebowski, with White Russians as the signature drink and a menu of burgers and beer. The atmosphere is fun, casual and tourist-friendly, and it attracts a mixed crowd of travellers, film fans and locals, mostly adults in their twenties to forties. There is no dress code and everyday clothes are fine. The music leans toward rock and pop at a volume that still allows conversation, rising a little later at weekends. The drinks programme includes White Russians in various forms, beer and a standard bar selection, with beer typically priced at about ISK 1,300-1,800 (roughly $10-14). A happy hour is typically run from about 16:00 to 19:00. Because the bar serves food, it can function as a casual meal stop as well as an evening venue. Opening hours are typically 11:30 to 01:00 Sunday to Thursday and 11:30 to 04:00 on Friday and Saturday, one of the later closing times on the street. There is no cover charge, and reservations are generally not needed for small groups, though larger parties could contact the venue ahead on busy weekends. Friday and Saturday nights after about 22:00 are the liveliest and can be crowded, whereas lunchtime and the afternoon are calmer. Lebowski Bar sits beside other Laugavegur venues such as Kaldi Bar, so it combines easily into a walking route. Visitors should remember that the legal age for buying alcohol in Iceland is 20.
