Well to update on Reykjavik, there's a few decent bars, the stand out one for me being the Microbar just off the main square. A massive beer menu here. For atmosphere try ölstofa, which attracts more locals and gets pretty busy. Most bars offer a standard Icelandic range, the best of which for me is Boli which weighs in around £7 for 500ml. Ouch. Other beers are slightly less but nothing to write home about. For a decent beer with a meal, try the restaurant in the building with '1892' on it, on the main drag. Not sure if that's the official name but you can't miss it, Rejkjavik is like a large village. Decent food and they offer microbrewed ales.
Happy hunting!
Paid €10 for 500 ml of lager in Bandol on the French Rivera the other day. It was cheaper in Monaco to so now makes Scandinavia look cheap.
I'm going up to Inverness and Ullapool (ferry link to Stornoway) in October for a gig, I hear Ullapool has a couple of alright venues..?
