The co-owners of the Virgin Mary's non-alcoholic pub, Oisin Davis (L) and Vaughan Yates, on May 16, 2019 in Dublin.

Journalists ask : "an alcohol-free establishment, will it be able to survive in the ultra-competitive sector of the Dublin pubs?

More generally what do you think of this initiative ? (humor is not prohibited )

I actually had this idea several years ago ... I've never run a business, have no experience in the alcohol/hotelier/hospitality industry so knew that I'd never make it work.

 

[Morbad]

Do they sell chocolate milk? It's my only potable vice.

 

[Sir.Tj]

I do not approve of this worrying trend....

We're Doomed DOOOOMMMEEDDDD.

 

[wAsh67]

So its basically an unlicensed cafe?

I wouldn't go.

If I'm getting a drink, it's going to be cider or ginger beer, and it's gonna' have booze.

To be fair, Ireland is a long way to go just to get a drink, whatever you're having. (Unless you live there I guess).

Have you had Magners though?

Um, I have... it's rubbish.
But then I did used to live down the road from a cider farm, so I may be a bit biased.

Probably. I live in the middle of what is basically a super-city. No farms anywhere near me.

Oof! Did it have bits in it?

 

[Siobhan]

Some did, not the stuff they were bottling for sale; they filtered that (mostly).

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

A pint of your finest milk good sir?

 

[lysan]

What kind of evil magic is this?..

 

[Sir.Tj]

Pint of proper British Real Ale with the twigs left in please.

Oh yeah and a bag of Dry Roasted while you're at it.

twigs?
I think you must be either buying some seriously dodgy beer, or you drink in your local pub's beer garden while they are trimming the hedges.

I'm shocked, I thought you were a pickled egg connoisseur!

 

[Sir.Tj]

Can't stand Pickled Eggs (shudder)

First thing I'm doing when I get my ID in is buying some beer.

It was just a matter of time! This is the sort of thing that happens when two same sexed millennial SJW's adopt children which spend their entire first 21 years home schooling by one of the two individuals who adopted them.
