A bar is serving cocktails disguised as pints for football fans who want to blend in without the beer.

Mulligans in Newcastle is offering the drinks during the World Cup to give fans an alternative to beer while watching the matches.

The cocktails, including Mai Tais and Grapefruit Margaritas, will be served in opaque half-pint glasses and can be ordered by telling the bartender you’re "just here for the vibes."

Mulligans said: "Spectators who are ‘just here for the vibes’ can order cocktails disguised in opaque glasses to blend in with the crowd while watching the World Cup.

"While having a pint in hand is arguably an essential for the vibes and aesthetic of the World Cup, the team at Mulligans Newcastle know not everyone is partial to the typical football tipple.

"Spectators who are beer-averse can order their choice of drink and let the bartender know that they’re ‘just here for the vibes’, and they’ll receive their drink in a half-pint glass, so other guests will be none the wiser about what they’re sipping."

The cocktails are available as a double serving for £14.

The venue is offering a range of seating options for the tournament, including tables for two to six people at £10, which comes with two drinks, and stadium-style seating for £9.50.

VIP private booths are also available for £220, including three hours of booth access, a beer tower holding six pints, and a sharing platter of glazed wings, fries, pizzas, sliders, nachos, and dips.

For fans who need a distraction before, during, or after the match, Mulligans also offers two crazy golf courses, electro-darts, electro-shuffle, pool, ping pong, and arcade games within its recently refurbished space.
