While originally looking for a Café we "accidentally" found the Askur Taproom & Pizzeria. It's a craft brewery with its own pizzeria next / connected to it. The place is really cool: The taproom is directly connected to the brewery with windows and a glass door between, so you can also have a look at the brewery while drinking your beer. When we visited there were 6 beers on tap, from a classic Kölsch up to very creative beers with Wasabi or Earl Grey infused. The beers were great, I loved it! Even better was the staff: We were chatting the whole time with the barkeeper and another local guy about Iceland, Germany, Croatia and of course: Beer! Very friendly and very cool. We loved it! PS: According to my girlfriend the pizza is also great!

The museum has two permanent exhibitions, one about the reindeer in East Iceland and one about the old rural household in the region. The focus of the reindeer exhibition is on the nature, characteristics and survival of the reindeer's as well as hunting and how reindeer products have contributed to a creative development of fashion design and handcraft.
