It’s Friday thank God!! And a lot of you will be planning a night out – hitting the bars and a club but what if you don’t fancy a drink, maybe you’re driving or doing dry January or just don't fancy getting pinned in by crowds on the sauce. 

Whatever it is – you have very little alternative…until now.

It's called 'The Virgin Mary' and opens in February. Muireann spoke to co-owner Oisin Davis about why Ireland needs this now.

Oisin is opening it because there’s very little alternative for non-drinkers or people who just don’t fancy an alcoholic pint just cafés lacking atmosphere

You'll find it on Capel Street in Dublin 1. 

It even has it's own signature cocktail...
