As the week draws to a close, one thing that springs to mind is the weekend game plan.
If your plans are still up in the air, allow us to give you a little nudge while introducing you to the ‘Bar For When You’re Off The Beers’.
Located on South Anne Street, the pop-up from Pure Brew aims to take the dry out of January and from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th, a series of events will take place that'll blow your socks off. Figuratively speaking.
The bar is open for three days and will have loads to do before and after each event. Expect non-alcoholic beer tasting sessions with the experts, a chill out zone in the basement with a cinema screen, a House DJ nightly, delish complimentary beer snacks, ice-cold Pure Brew lager and also a range of small batch experimental non-alcoholic beers on tap.
Sound like somethin' you're into? Check out the weekend line up...
Friday 18th - 'The Chats' hosted by comedian Joanne McNally with special guests, 8pm - 9.15pm
Comedy legend, Joanne McNally will host a game show style evening that focuses on interesting conversation - no boring small talk here people! With loads of topics chosen by the audience, we'll prove that us Irish have the gift of the gab, with or without the booze.
Think Cards Against Humanity with more chat.
Saturday 19th - Sober Rave Marcus O' Laoire and special guests, 9.30pm - 12.30am
Leading the way on Saturday night, is one of Ireland's Renaissance men Marcus O' Laoire – known for everything from cooking, to DJ’ing, to comedy, to Podcasting. He'll host a night filled with rapping, House music, beat boxing and much more.
Both Marcus and 2016 & 2017 Irish Beatbox Champion Maciej Kozlowski, aka ‘Magic Beatbox’ will tag team the night with various sets intertwined with hip hop dancers, different music styles all before the ultimate Sober Rave to end the night.
The best part? You don't need a ticket for this - just turn up and enjoy the music and entertainment.
Sunday 20th - Choons, Chat & Fun with Fearless Moves, 1pm - 3pm
Weekends aren't all about the night-time plans, there's a whole day to enjoy!
