A lovely place for a few drinks in the evening – booking necessary: Restaurant George Bar & Grill (26. September 2024)

It’s more than a year ago since I’ve last been to the George – and I must say it remains a good place for drinks (and probably also for dinner, still). We had prebooked a table since we were a larger group, so, I was quite surprised that I had received my drink within no […]

A place, which is lovely in terms of cocktails, but a bit loud in its surroundings: Late Bloomers (31. August 2024)

A place, which is lovely in terms of cocktails, but a bit loud in its surroundings: Late Bloomers (31. August 2024)

Frankly, the Late Bloomers is located in a place where I would normally never have walked in. However, due to the fact that the rating was rather good, I decided to give the Late Bloomers a try, and went for the cocktail with which the bar tender apparently won a competition back in 2023. And, […]

A great place to do a short pit stop on a long drive to Reykjavik: Restaurant Systrakaffi (21. August 2024)

A great place to do a short pit stop on a long drive to Reykjavik: Restaurant Systrakaffi (21. August 2024)

Getting back from Jökulsarlon to Reykjavik is a bit of a journey (of more than 400km), so, after a few hours of driving (at a fun speed of 90 km/h max), I decided to do a small pit stop and went for the Systrakaffi, which had great ratings and decided, very unlike me usually, to […]

Delicious drinks with an amazing view: Bar @ Hótel Jökulsarlon – Glacier Lagoon Hotel (20. August 2024)

Delicious drinks with an amazing view: Bar @ Hótel Jökulsarlon – Glacier Lagoon Hotel (20. August 2024)

Since the hotel had only opened 1.5 months ago, they would offer you a complimentary welcome drink, which was a lovely thing to experience. However, this would not include cocktails, but I, nevertheless, decided to go for such a cocktail. I went for the “Dhalia (Kettle One vodka, raspberry syrup, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice and […]

Mentioned in The World’s 50 Best Bars – I wouldn’t agree: Jungle Cocktail Bar (17. August 2024)

Mentioned in The World’s 50 Best Bars – I wouldn’t agree: Jungle Cocktail Bar (17. August 2024)

The Jungle Cocktail Bar is mentioned on The World’s 50 Best Bars, and I must say I was about to say, yeah, this is possible after the first drink. But that impression changed once I had gone for more. I started with the “Jungle Club (Gimlet, Citrusy & Fresh; Beefeater Gin, Aperol, Grapefruit, acidified orange […]

Great if you’re stranded at the airport, otherwise I wouldn’t visit the place: Sablier Rooftop Restaurant & Bar (9. August 2024)

Great if you’re stranded at the airport, otherwise I wouldn’t visit the place: Sablier Rooftop Restaurant & Bar (9. August 2024)

The Sablier Rooftop Restaurant & Bar has been on my to do list for quite a while by now, but somehow I had always felt like the drive out to the airport wasn’t entirely worth it. And frankly, I’m a bit torn about the whole experience. On the one hand side, the place is super […]

Truly eventful drinks prepared with a lot of dry ice in a Harry Potter themed bar: L’Alchimista (3. August 2024)

Truly eventful drinks prepared with a lot of dry ice in a Harry Potter themed bar: L’Alchimista (3. August 2024)

To finalise the evening, we decided to have a few last drinks in a bar with a good rating and found the L’Alchimista. The name sounded promising and a 4.8 on Google with over 300 reviews as well, so, we entered. Now, the first challenge I felt was the heat and the lack of AC. […]

A good stop before dinner – if you’re into beers or simple Italian drinks: Santa Maria Craft Pub (3. August 2024)

A good stop before dinner – if you’re into beers or simple Italian drinks: Santa Maria Craft Pub (3. August 2024)

Usually not a place I would end up in since the place has a focus on beer, I decided to go with some traditional Italian cocktails like the “Negroni” (EUR 8.00), which was good and, frankly speaking, rather on the intense side of things in terms of flavour. Still, overall enjoyable. The “Spritz” (EUR 4.50) […]
