Northern Lights Bar
Selfoss
Bar in Selfoss, Iceland
Book with PearlWhy go
Northern Lights Bar is worth choosing when the goal is a calm aurora-viewing nightcap rather than a cocktail-led bar crawl. The draw is the sky-facing hotel lounge, low-lit room, remote setting near Selfoss; value comes from comfort and atmosphere more than a documented specialist drinks program.
About Northern Lights Bar
Northern Lights Bar is a Selfoss venue with a price point of $60 per person and a smart casual dress code.
That makes the value question direct: consider it if $60 per person fits your budget and you want a smart casual option in Selfoss. If you need a specific drinks program, food offering, view, reservation format, or late-night atmosphere, confirm those details directly with the venue before planning around it.
A Selfoss bar with limited detail
Treat Northern Lights Bar as a Selfoss venue where the known commitments are price and dress code, then check current venue information if the occasion depends on anything more detailed.
The drinks are secondary to confirmed planning basics
No specific spirits focus, signature cocktail, wine list, beer list, or other drinks program is here. That does not mean those things are absent; it only means they should not be assumed from this guide.
The same applies to food. If food is important to the plan, confirm the current offering before you go.
Who should choose it
Choose Northern Lights Bar if you are looking for a smart casual Selfoss option and the $60 per person price point works for the occasion. It is a less certain match if your decision depends on a particular atmosphere, menu, seating setup, view, or drinks specialty.
For planning around the area, a Selfoss bars guide can help compare drinking options, while the Selfoss hotels guide helps if the bar is part of an overnight decision. Pair that with the Selfoss restaurants guide if dinner matters before the nightcap, or use a Selfoss experiences guide for daytime planning.

Venue details
Ambiance
A design‑driven hotel bar perched over a lava field, with double‑height floor‑to‑ceiling windows, soft contemporary furnishings and low lighting that keeps the focus on the dark sky, lake and aurora outside—more serene lounge than party bar.

Bar context
How Northern Lights Bar compares in Selfoss
Northern Lights Bar is the easier pick for a quiet, view-led drink near Selfoss. Quest - Hair, Beer & Whisky Saloon is the more obvious fit if the night needs a stronger whisky-and-beer identity, while Náttúrufræðistofnun reads more like an alternative stop to compare by location and convenience rather than a direct lounge substitute.
If quality of drinks is the main reason for going out, Reykjavík's options are the stronger cross-shop. Microbar Reykjavík is the better choice for beer-focused drinking, Port 9 is a better fit for wine-bar energy, Vínstúkan Tíu Sopar makes more sense for readers who want a compact wine-led evening. Choose Northern Lights Bar when ambiance and ease beat category depth.
