As a service to our readers, the Reykjavík Grapevine has decided to keep you informed on the best beer price in town. Since beer prices have skyrocketed recently, we have formed our own counter-initiative: The Beer Patrol™. We have dozens of people on the stakeout, wearing special uniforms, drinking at bars across the city and searching for the best deals.
    To begin with we will give you the price of a normal draught 0,5 litre glass of lager in various bars in 101. As you can see the winner is Belly’s in Hafnarstræti where the beer is 350. The loser is the 890 ISK-charging 101 Hótel. If you know of anything cheaper or more expensive please be a part of the Beer Patrol™ team and let us know.
