TRÚNÓ Gay Café & Bar
As well as being a fabulous café during the day Trúnó puts on
her dancing shoes and her partydress in the evenings and her
favourite party nights are, well every night but the most popular
ones are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
Trúnó is open until 01 on Wedensdays and Thursdays and 04 on
Friday and Saturdays.
Every Friday and Saturday night there are great Dj's playing tunes
to get you into the right kinda groove. Bartenders pour you cold
beers, strong shots and shake some fantabulous cocktails.
The crowd gathers earlier at Trúnó than most places, as you might
already know Icelanders go out late, midnight - 01, but in Trúnó
you can expect a crowd much earlier than that.
Trúnó is open daily, from Sunday to Thursday from 11:00 - 01:00
and on Friday and Saturday from 11:00 - 04:00.
Trúnó have a very active Facebook page and urge you to join
us.
BARBARA SUNSHINE BAR
Barbara's full name is Barbara Sunshine and she is pink, joyous,
happy and the only GAY dancenightclub in Iceland. When Barbara
opened there was a vision her owners wanted her to live up to: You
are greeted with a smile and you should feel right at home in the
welcoming atmosphere, here you can be who you are and lose yourself
to the music. The crowd is mostly gay and lesbian but like any gay
bar it is becoming more and more popular with everyone who just
loves to dance. At Barbara the music is always good, queer and
thumping 'til 5 in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays. There are
no laws against dancing on tables, singing at the top of your lungs
and taking your shirt off.
From Sunday to Thursday Barbara is open from 20-01 and there are
pub quizzes, concerts, eurovision nights, cabarets, Dj's, movie
nights and much more going on at her place. More information and
photos from Barbara's nightlife is to be found on her facebook site and she shares a webpage with her baby sister
Trúnó.

Gay dances
Gay dances are held all year round at various places to support
our local LGBT organizations. Many years of tradition surround
these events and have they been popular with all age groups. The
djs are gay and local and there is often live entertainment. They
are advertised on the locals' email-lists, on Facebook and by word
of mouth. You should ask us about them during your stay, we totally
recommend the experience. There is usually a light cover charge
ranging from 1000 - 1500 ISK and all the profits go to the
local LGBT associations.
Q nights
Q nights are held weekly on Friday nights at the local community
centre, Rainbow room, at 21:00. These nights often have a fun
theme, for instance, gender bending night, gay movie nights and
cosy time but mostly they are a good way to get to know some fun
people, have great conversations and warm up for a night on the
town. The crowd is all queer and often there is a good deal on
beverages. More information is to be found on their website.
