Called TVM, the new bar will be located in Abu Dhabi’s The Galleria Al Mayrah Island, and will be the first of its kind in the Middle East.
The Virgin Mary Bar (TVM), Ireland’s iconic alcohol-free bar is expanding to the UAE, with its very first international outpost set to open in Abu Dhabi this summer. Being hailed as the Middle East’s first ‘alcohol-free bar and restaurant’ TVM in Abu Dhabi will still feature the same look, taste and excitement of a standard bar, but without the alcohol.
Being brought to the region through a franchise partnership with MBT Restaurant Management, the new venue will join others dining concepts at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, including Zuma, Coya and LPM Restaurant. The venue will boast an exciting beverages menu alongside a food menu that is currently being developed to fit the bar concept, giving customers a ‘taste of Abu Dhabi and an experience that is suited to the UAE’s culture.’
Niveen Ibrahim, Chief Operating Officer, MBT Development and Executive Director, MBT Restaurant Management, commented: “People in the UAE will now get to experience a fully-fledged refined bar in a mall, and we will teach them how to drink differently.”
