Food & Drink

You might associate a trip to Dublin, Ireland, with nights out in pubs where succeeding recovery days seem par for the course. No longer. The Irish capital city just opened its first no-alcohol bar, great for sober curious travelers or travelers simply wanting a fun night out without repercussions the following morning.

Board lies in the city center and offers a wide range of non-alcoholic drinks. Better yet, the bar boasts more than 200 board games customers can play for free. The bar is already a hit with locals and visitors, the interior embracing the look and feel of a modern, Irish pub, but without the alcohol.

 

Board stocks premium 0 percent beers, an extensive range of alcohol-free craft beers and Guinness 0.0 on draught. The bar also has an impressive mocktail list mimicking favorite classics. Think espresso martinis, Aperol spritz and Bloody Mary.

The bar also includes a menu of Mood Boosters made with a natural mix of herbs, botanicals, spices or mushrooms concocted to soothe or stimulate as needed. There are also non-alcoholic wines available, including Irish-owned Hollow Leg, produced in Spain.

 

And what board games might you expect to find here? Classics like Monopoly and Yahtzee are available, as well as Risk and Catan. For a quiet night, play a game of chess, or for a noisier competition, take part in Articulate!

 

Board also offers a food menu available all day, including homemade pizza, sweet treats and vegan options. Board regularly hosts jazz nights, comedy events, pub quizzes, bingo and sports screenings.
