UFC superstar Conor McGregor has seen his pub The Black Forge Inn become something of a celebrity hotspot featuring several big names in recent weeks.
As ‘Notorious’ travels the world on his £2.9million Lamborghini superyacht and trains for an MMA comeback, his impressive empire continues to grow.
McGregor bought the Black Forge Inn in 2019
The 33-year-old recently bought The Waterside bar in Howth, a bustling and affluent Dublin suburb, adding to his pub portfolio, which includes Black Forge Inn and Marble Arch.
In 2019, McGregor purchased The Black Forge Inn, located near his hometown of Crumlin.
The UFC’s first-ever double champion has reportedly spent £1.7million to become the owner of the property and is believed to have spent a further £868,000 to convert the venue into a gastro-pub.
The popular establishment survived an attempted petrol bombing earlier this year and continues to thrive, having recently hosted former Celtic striker and football legend John Hartson.

Earlier this week, poker player and social media star Dan Bilzerian visited the bar with seven models.
The 41-year-old has an estimated net worth of £252million and is considered by many to be the “King of Instagram”.
Just a few days later, McGregor’s establishment had another high-profile guest in rap legend Coolio.
The ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ star was hanging out with rappers Casey Walsh and Alex Sheehan aka ‘Casper’ and ‘Eskimo Supreme’ from ‘Versatile’ in the Black Forge Inn’s smoking area.

With McGregor’s business empire thriving, there is still work to be done to get his MMA career back on track. The former two-weight UFC champion has lost two fights in a row and has only had one win since 2016.
‘Mystic Mac’ has been healing since breaking his tibia and fibula at UFC 264 last July and has just started kicking again ahead of his much-anticipated return to combat later this year.
UFC fighters are lining up to take on MMA’s greatest star of all time in his rematch, with Nate Diaz, Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira among the favorites to crack McGregor first.
