About Kokteilbarinn
Kokteilbarinn is a practical Reykjavík pick for cocktails before or after dinner, especially if the group wants a flexible downtown stop rather than a full restaurant booking. Choose it for convenience and drinks; choose OTO instead if the night needs a clearer food-and-wine structure.
Kokteilbarinn is a Reykjavík venue with verified opening hours across the week and a smart-casual dress code. Because the available verified information does not include cuisine, menu format, price, chef, reservation details, or a documented drinks or dining program, it is best treated as a practical planning entry rather than a venue to choose for a specific food or beverage style.
Use it when the schedule fits
The clearest confirmed detail is timing. Kokteilbarinn opens from 4 PM Monday through Friday, from 2 PM on Saturday and Sunday, stays open latest on Friday and Saturday, when hours run until 2 AM. Thursday also runs later, until 1 AM, while Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday close at 11:30 PM.
If you are comparing options for the same evening, keep the decision simple: Kokteilbarinn has verified late-week hours and a smart-casual dress code, while other options such as OTO, Geiri Smart Restaurant, Canopy Central Café, Monkeys, or Gló may fit different plans depending on what you already know about them and what your evening requires.
Build the night around location and timing
The verified location information supports only Reykjavík, so use Kokteilbarinn as a Reykjavík stop when its hours match your itinerary. It is open every day, with afternoon starts on the weekend and later closing times toward the end of the week.
The verdict: consider Kokteilbarinn when you need a Reykjavík venue with confirmed evening and late-week availability. Do not overbuild the plan around unverified details such as cuisine, menu structure, prices, seat count, chef-led service, or a documented drinks program.

How Kokteilbarinn compares in Reykjavík
Choose Kokteilbarinn when the brief is drinks-first and easy to slot into a downtown night. OTO is the better cross-shop for a planned dinner, because its Modern Cuisine format and €€€ tier give a clearer sense of spend and occasion. For value certainty, Kokteilbarinn is harder to judge because no price range is listed, while OTO at least signals a higher-commitment meal.
Geiri Smart Restaurant, Canopy Central Café, and Monkeys are stronger candidates when the group wants a restaurant setting rather than a bar stop. Kokteilbarinn is the easier recommendation for a short drinks window, especially before or after another booking, while those peers make more sense when seating, food, a longer evening are part of the plan.
Gló sits in a different decision lane: use it when the priority is an uncomplicated food stop rather than cocktails. If the night is built around ambiance and conversation over drinks, Kokteilbarinn is the cleaner fit; if the plan needs a meal with a clearer format, cross-shop OTO first, then Geiri Smart Restaurant, Canopy Central Café, or Monkeys depending on the mood and availability.
