Today on RÚV English Radio, an iconic Reykjavík venue is about to reopen its doors.

Originally built in 1962 as a home for music and cinema, and later known as Vinabær, Tónabíó is reopening, for all kinds of events, from 19 to 21 March (see here https://www.facebook.com/events/3140414916160734/ and here https://www.facebook.com/events/878693308494835/).

RVK Brewing Co.’s (https://www.rvkbrewing.com/) taproom is also on site and remains open with 22 taps of beer!

Darren met with Maria-Carmela and Einar during last minute preparations.
