SO YOU’RE OFF the drink for a while and you’re sick of drinking soda water and lime when you go out.
1. Why not head to Coppinger Row?
This bar does a great selection of virgin cocktails, so it might just be the perfect place to stop by after a bout of shopping and a thirst for vodka.
2. Capitol Bar, Aungier Street
If you prefer volume and choice over anything else, get to Capitol. While their cocktail menu is astoundingly comprehensive, non drinkers will find some delight in the likes of a Safe Sex on the Beach, or a Strawberry Virgin Daiquiri.
3. 777, George’s Street
You don’t have to avoid delicious margs all month. This Mexican joint serves up some of the most unusual mocktails in the city. You won’t miss the tequila a bit. Try the Pirata No-Toxico, with pineapple juice, grapefruit, lemon and agave.
4. The Morgan Bar, Fleet Street
This bar on Fleet Street lets you turn any of their cocktails into a mocktail. We recommend the Flaming Morgan, made of cherry syrup, lime juice, and pineapple juice.
5. Crackbird, Dame Street
Not only do they do some of the best wings in Dublin, they also serve up some very faaaaancy fresh lemonades and they’re absolutely massive. You won’t even remember there’s no alcohol in it.
6. Saba, Clarendon street
Not only do they do tasty food, Saba also serve up a massive selection of mocktails such as the Pink of Condition:
Mint, lime, elderflower syrup, nettle syrup and homemade grapefruit soda.
Sure you won’t go back on the beer.
7. Bow Lane, Aungier Street
Want to get a nice brunch on your hangover free Sunday, but think you’ll feel tempted? Bow Lane offer a heap of choice, including a very well done Not So Bloody Bleedin’ Mary.
8. Fire, Dawson Street
Missing a flute of prosecco in your hand? Fire do some gorgeous non-alcoholic bellinis using soda water. Don’t leave without trying the white sans-gria.
