Not only is it a former biscuit factory, it\u2019s a hostel, bar, restaurant and jazz club all in one! You\u2019re also in the centre of Reykjavik with a mind-boggling array of museums, nightclubs, shops and, of course, coffee houses surrounding you. Sweet.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/tllhb2o.jpg\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" \/><br \/>\nThe d\u00e9cor is cosy from the off, with found objects such as Bauhaus lamps, vintage maps and Amish church benches blended with the factory-chic interior. The facilities match Kex\u2019s old-fashioned hipster ambience \u2013 head to the vault and you\u2019ll find a third generation hostel barber, next door to an old school gym space. If you\u2019re having a chill day, unleash your inner bibliophile and get lost in the hostel\u2019s eccentric book collection in the library, or flick through a vintage National Geographic on a leather sofa.

The BAXTUR breakfast buffet is THE place to be in the morning. Slather your freshly baked bread with an Icelandic jam or two, or help yourself to some special porridge + toppings. Brunch, lunch and dinner are all about the gastropub vibes. We recommend the stacked pancakes or the spicy \u201cfreedom\u201d burger of Icelandic I\u0301sbu\u0301i cheese, caramelized onion mayonnaise, vegetables and S\u00e6mi\u00acchips. lj\u00faffengur! And as for drinks\u2026did you know that until 1989 beer was prohibited in Iceland? Neigh more! Kex has an impressive selection of frosty craft beers, wines and cocktails. Make sure you stick around for live music and KexJazz, a weekly jazz concert series every Tuesday at 8.30pm.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/P6wLFQl.jpg\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Urz8347.jpg\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SpLjszr.jpg\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" \/><br \/>\nAnd there\u2019s more.
