Drinks & Nightlife

Housed in an old biscuit factory downtown Reykjavik and furnished with salvaged materials and found objects from various places, KEX is an organic concept blending a vintage industrial feel with an eclectic, contemporary touch. KEX is just steps away from an interesting array of cafés, museums, shops, bars, music venues and various attractions. More or less everything that matters is within walking distance – the main shopping street, the harbour, the city centre, the main bus terminal, a swimming pool, etc. http://www.kexhostel.is/about-kex/
