22 Bar is the queer heart of the historic timber house on the corner of Laugavegur and Klapparstígur. Upstairs, you’ll find Kiki Queer Bar - together, the two floors make up one of Reykjavík’s most iconic queer addresses.
The house has been a meeting point in Reykjavík city centre since 1959, and this corner has been part of the city’s queer community for decades. Today, 22 Bar continues that tradition as a welcoming, inclusive and unapologetically queer space where locals and visitors come together for drinks, music, karaoke and nightlife.
There’s something happening throughout the week. Mondays and Tuesdays are karaoke nights, giving everyone a chance to grab the mic and become the star of the evening. Thursdays bring Queer DJ Night with DJ Linda Anderson, setting the mood with a night dedicated to queer music, energy and community.
And when the weekend arrives, the music turns up. Every Friday and Saturday, a live DJ takes over 22 Bar, bringing beats, dancing and a proper party atmosphere to the heart of Reykjavík’s queer nightlife.
Downstairs at 22, you can start your night with a drink, meet friends, grab some food or simply settle in and enjoy the atmosphere. Upstairs at Kiki, the energy gets louder, wilder and even more unapologetically queer.
22 Bar and Kiki Queer Bar regularly come together for special events, bringing both floors to life as one shared queer space. During Pride, the entire building becomes House of 22 - a celebration of queer culture, music, nightlife and community.
Karaoke. DJs. Queer nights. Big weekends.
Two floors. One queer house.
