Gaukurinn is a pub and lives venue at Blöndalshús on Tryggvagata in downtown Reykjavík.

The first legal draft beer was sold at “Gaukur á Stöng” which is now Gaukurinn. Since then Gaukurinn has been stable in the Icelandic music scene, where many of Iceland’s biggest artists started out. In more recent years Gaukurinn has established itself as a safe haven for the queer/alternative/drag and other artists in Iceland. The new wave of drag in Iceland started at Gaukurinn with “Dragsúgur” We are an artistic space where everybody is welcome
