Nillabar (old Hafnarfjarðarbíó) (c. 1989–2001) – Lost Tables
When the sons of cinema founder Árni Þorsteinsson sold Hafnarfjarðarbíó to the town in September 1988, the films stopped and the building was soon turned into a dance venue and retail space. The top floor became a bar called Nillabar.

The top floor became a bar called Nillabar. The old cinema and the neighbouring co-op building at Strandgata 28 were torn down in 2001, and the lot stood empty for about two decades before work on the Fjörður extension began in 2022.
The lot stood empty for two decades; the Fjörður town-centre extension has been under construction there since 2022
