Dublin's only alcohol-free bar has shut its doors for good after just four years in business.
The Virgin Mary Bar on Capel Street opened its doors in 2019 and only served non-alcoholic drinks such as mocktails, beers and wines. The city centre closure comes as huge increases in the cost of running a business have resulted in many closures.
The sky rocketing costs played a factor in the demise of the Virgin Mary. A representative for the bar told the Sunday Times that “spiralling costs were a big factor for us”.
