The Irish bar has partnered with hospitality group MBT Restaurant Management to franchise its concept in the UAE capital, where it will be called TVM.
The new bar is set to launch in summer 2021 in The Galleria Al Maryah Island shopping centre with the same alcohol-free ethos as the flagship Irish venue.
The Virgin Mary was founded by Vaughan Yates in 2019. Yates said: “When we first opened The Virgin Mary in Ireland, it was always our goal to see it spread to cosmopolitan cities worldwide, and with the launch of TVM Abu Dhabi this summer, we are thrilled to realise this ambition so soon.”
