It’s all about the beer
RVK is an abbreviation for “Reykjavík”. So we are Reykjavík Brewing Company - a small brewery with a big name. But not so small. We operate two functional breweries located just outside the very downtown of Reykjavik and two tap rooms open to the publc; our signature tap room is at the site of our breweries just off the Hlemmur area, the other right downtown close to the vibrant Reykjavík nightlife (opening late 2026), as well as our original tap room turned into a tour only, private event space.
Reykjavík Brewing Company was one of the first independent craft breweries in Iceland. Since 2018, the Brewing Company has been crafting Icelandic beers and during this short but rich history our passion for the fine art of brewing has only grown. With more than 200 recipes crafted in the broad scope between the conventional and the unconventional we have developed an admiration for the classics mixed with a norm-defying attitude. The result is a tasteful experience by a celebration of beers adventurously ranging from refreshing lagers to fruit infused ales, milkshake beers and more.
We started brewing in the “Old Brewery” in May 2018 and opened a small tap room there later that summer next to the brewery. After a couple of years we had totally outgrown the capacity of the 40HL brewery so we started work on our “New Brewery” in the building next to the old. We opened this 300HL brewery in July 2022. In June 2024 we moved our tap room to a much larger space above the new brewery. A former cinema turned into a bingo hall, it is now the best place to sample our beers on 22 taps. Late 2026 we are opening downtown, on the Parliment Square righ next to Hotel Borg.
Our journey is far from over and we are honored to share it with you. Come check us out.

Our tap room is located in an old cinema at Skipholt 33, next to our brewery. There is plenty of free parking in front of the building.
It’s only a short walk from downtown. Easiest walking access is from Laugavegur, the main street downtown. A few minutes after passing Hlemmur Square you will come to a construction site at Noatun. Head up the street to Skipholt, then turn left until you see the “Tonabio” cinema.
In late 2026 we are opening a new Tap Room Downtown Reykjavík, at the Parliment Square next to Hotel Borg, pending permits.
