This is my favourite place in the whole of Reykjavik, with couches and coffee and thousands of vinyl records to listen to (and buy) if you are lucky enough to meet Lucky himself you are in for a treat, he has amazing musical knowledge and is so fun to talk to.
The other guys are just as nice and they even have a booking desk, where you can book tickets to concerts or even whale watching.
