Party: Where Reykjavik hen parties head after dark

We can arrange a guided pub crawl for your group, given by an English-speaking guide, who'll take you to the best bars and pubs in Reykjavik, or how about a fun hen meal at a tasty restaurant? Let us know what your group are after and we'll set it all up for you, complete with the ever-popular guestlist nightclubbing! Do bear in mind that many of the clubs in the city have a smart dress code and the minimum age to drink in Iceland is 20.
