The Virgin Mary bar on Dublin's Capel Street has opted to shut its doors for good after four years in business as ‘spiralling costs’ left owners with no alternative.
The alcohol-free venue opened its doors in 2019 as the first of its kind in Ireland to only serve non-alcoholic drinks like mocktails, beers and wines.
This comes as more and more cost increases as a result of inflation continue to lead to many closures as businesses struggle with the financial pressure.
