Bars around the world are usually home to friends catching up, dates and work colleges on Friday afternoons, they're important and as the weather starts to get better normally many of us flock to them. At the moment, however, in these uncertain and turbulent times, many bars and hotspots have had to temporarily close their doors. To keep morale high and to avoid losing any bar community, Brew Dog have come up with a fantastic idea to take their bars online and to create virtual bars all over the world. In total BrewDog has virtually opened 102 bars, with beer tastings, live music and pub quizzes taking place in most of them. Here, everyone is welcome and able to have fun like they normally would at a weekend in a bar the only difference being that for the foreseeable future BrewDog will do this online. So what are you waiting for?! Have a look at my top 5 virtual bars of the world to get involved and head to a bar with your friends tonight!
BrewDog Bar Mitte and DogTap
In Berlin, we are lucky enough to have more than one BrewDog establishment. Both BrewDog Bar Mitte and DogTap, are becoming virtual bars where locals can "click to"! These trendy locations both in the heart of Berlin make great additions to virtual bars all around the world and will help keep our fun-loving and relaxed evenings going. Aside from being a virtual bar, DogTap Berlin Mariendorf and the BrewDog Bar Mitte are both still offering a takeaway and delivery service around the city. And even more, anyone self-collecting their orders will receive a 30% discount.
Replenishments are available in the German BrewDog online shop at www.brewdog.com/eu_de/shop/beer and follow BrewDog Germany on Instagram at @brewdogdeutschland for opening dates of the Berlin virtual Bars.

BrewDog Bar Soho
In arguably one of the coolest parts of London you'll find BrewDog Soho. In this neighbourhood community is king and weekly catch-ups and bumping into long lost friends are the highlights of many people's week.

Whilst we all have to be home more than we would usually at the moment this virtual bar is the perfect place to escape to for a couple of hours with friends and loved ones. Just because we can't be together physically at the moment does certainly not mean that we can't connect. Stay connected, stay well and stay entertained by visiting this virtual bar in London tonight!
