Boonekamp’s list of favourite venues was always going to include his own bar, but IÐNÓ would have made it on its own merit. Equal parts cultural centre, café, creative workspace and live-music venue, it’s all happening here, all the time. The building itself, a renovated classical concert hall, is a cultural landmark in Reykjavík, according to Boonekamp. “Dating back to 1897, [it] combines history, traditions and culture in one place – the atmosphere is hard to beat.” Located next to the city pond Tjörnin in the middle of downtown, IÐNÓ not only hosts live shows from Reykjavík’s finest, it sells a mean cup of coffee, too.
