Rekjavík’s oldest coffee shop, Prikid’s brightly-painted exterior makes it look like it could be an ostentatious Bavarian beer garden. However, the popular pub is perfectly grungy and divey—and surprisingly diverse—on the inside. A popular venue for local music, you’ll see customers from all walks of life: stoic retirees drinking coffee in the morning, families with toddlers in the early afternoon, 30-something couples on a date in the early evening, and the city’s norm-core and punkish teenagers who come out late at night when the DJs start spinning. Best of all, in a city where alcohol can be staggeringly expensive, the cheap beers at Prikid, are a welcome relief.
