You think the mark up on alcohol is absurd but the mark up on mock tails is way way higher.

Defending? Weren't they killing gay people not to long ago and now he's involved in the war with ukraine. This is definitely the proper sub to post this.I am still trying to figure out the mental gymnastics

Putin’s regime is giving the Nazi’s a run for their money on the pure evil front

Yeah I don’t drink booze any more but I bought some of those fake booze things. For one, they’re gross (lol)…but they’re also expensive. And all the added ingredients can add up. So it makes sense that margins are lower, and places like these would have a hard time making ends meet.

How fucking stupid are some people.

Should be in r/unexpected because I think we all expected him to rise

No, it would still fail. Drinkers buy 4-15 drinks a night. No one’s dropping $50 on non-alcoholic drinks.

I think that is probably why they thought it could work. It could, you know, stand out.

This business model is doomed to fail. No one goes out and blows $100 a night on non-alcoholic drinks.

There's a joke in James Joyce's Ulysses: "Good game would be to walk through Dublin without passing a pub." That's why this story is Oniony.

Yes it is... Who would open a non-alcoholic "bar" in Dublin ???

No...it's like having a place in Amsterdam where you can't smoke weed. Have you people ever even heard of Dublin?

If you say so- my first reply after my joke mentioned how it was a joke and what i found funny, but reading too hard, i understand.

Why are you this sensitive? Look at my first Response in this thread. The people who understood the joke laughed(or at least did that slight smile with a sharp nose exhale). Just because you didnt get it, doesnt mean it wasnt there. You could just be an alcoholic.

Like you're trying to argue, but I keep telling you there's no argument to be had and you still dont get it.. like it's oddly personal for you somehow?

Opened up a bar in Dublin that doesn't serve alcohol. FTFY

This person gets it.

I don’t understand the purpose behind this decision. Competition Breeds Excellence! It’s like playing a game where nobody keeps score…what’s the point of playing a game if everyone wins?

It's Dublin.

IKR??!!??

It's Dublin .

Annnnndddd...not to mention...It's Dublin.

Ah yes the popular “it was just a prank bro” defense followed up with the equally popular acquisition that I am emotionally out of control.

You're misunderstanding me.

I'm not saying the concept is bad, in and of itself. I'm saying putting it in Dublin, a city particularly known for its drinking culture within a country particularly known for its drinking culture, is more or less just asking to lose money.
