The Virgin Mary will be based on Capel Street and is the product of bartenders Vaughan Yates and Oisín Davis.
Yates said: “Dublin is an incredibly diverse city with an increasingly discerning population, so people are looking for a place where they can sit down with friends and really connect in a lively yet mindful drinking environment.”
According to the World Health Organisation, alcohol consumption in Ireland has fallen by 25% since 2005.
Davis added: "If a fellow Dubliner wants to catch up with mates after 4pm in the city but doesn’t want to hang out in a pub, the only options available to them are multi-national cafes that largely lack any atmosphere.”
Called after one of the world’s most well-known alcohol free cocktails, The Virgin Mary, the bar’s signature version will be mixed with pressed vegetable juices, a Dublin hot sauce and a spice mix created in-house.
Anna Walsh will be head bartender who’s menu will feature her own original alcohol free drinks.
Walsh added: “Not having alcohol as a tool for extracting and carrying flavour/aroma has been a fun challenge to work with.
“Also, health has become a keen focus within the hospitality industry and we are excited to offer a different place for bartenders to visit on their nights off."
