On Friday, many pubs in Wales will be shutting their doors for two weeks.
It follows new Welsh Government rules banning pubs and restaurants from selling alcohol and requiring them to close at 6pm, effective from this Friday.
The announcement has left many pubs choosing to close entirely, but one Newport pub has decided to stay open and serve soft drinks to its customers.
McCann's Rock 'n' Ale Bar on High Street will remain open for one day a week for its regulars.
Bar owner Amy McCann said she had decided to open within the guidelines so her regular customers would still have a chance to get out of the house and see people.
"90% of my customers live on their own and during the last lockdown some of them really struggled with their mental health," she said.
"I missed them all, so I want to check in on them once a week. It will be for regular customers."
The pub will open once a week - possibly Saturdays - and Amy said the news had gone down well with punters.
"They are well happy, as they can still see people and not be stuck in on their own," she added.
Speaking on social media after the announcement of the new regulations on Monday, Amy said: "Just so all my regulars know - yes I will be closing at 6pm on Friday. But I will open once a week for a soft drink to keep you all sane and [so you] don't suffer with your mental health too much.
"I can't face another few months of this, never mind some of you that suffer with mental health [issues]."
The decision to ban alcohol sales has been met with some criticism from within the hospitality industry.
The Brains brewery said it would be closing all of its pubs until further notice, with chief executive Alistair Darby calling the new rules "insulting".
Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin also called the rules "puritanical" and a sad reflection of "groupthink".
However, First Minister Mark Drakeford said the measures "are based on what the UK SAGE group of experts tells us has worked best elsewhere."
The rules are due to be reviewed on December 17.
