UFC star Conor McGregor continues to attract celebrities to the Black Forge Inn as rap legend Coolio and Instagram star Dan Bilzerian visit the Dublin pub

UFC superstar Conor McGregor has seen his pub, The Black Forge Inn, become a celebrity hotspot with several big names visiting in recent weeks.

As ‘Notorious’ travels the world on his £2.9m Lamborghini superyacht and trains for an MMA comeback, his impressive empire continues to grow.

The 33-year-old recently bought The Waterside bar in Howth, a busy and affluent Dublin suburb, adding to his portfolio of pubs, which includes the Black Forge Inn and Marble Arch.

In 2019 McGregor purchased The Black Forge Inn which is located near his hometown of Crumlin.

The first-ever two-time UFC champion is said to have spent £1.7m to own the property and spent a further £868,000 to turn the venue into a gastropub.

The popular establishment survived an attempted petrol bomb attack earlier this year and continues to thrive, recently hosting former Celtic striker and footballing legend John Hartson.

Earlier this week, poker player and social media celebrity 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’.

A few days later, McGregor’s establishment had another star guest in rap legend Coolio.

The ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ star was pictured in the smoking area of ​​the Black Forge Inn with Dublin rappers Casey Walsh and Alex Sheehan aka ‘Casper’ and ‘Eskimo Supreme’ of ‘Versatile’ fame.

While McGregor’s business empire is booming, there’s still work to be done to get his MMA career back on track. The former two-weight UFC champion has lost back-to-back fights and has just one win since 2016.

“Mystic Mac” has been healing since sustaining a broken tibia and fibula at UFC 264 last July and has just started kicking again ahead of his highly anticipated return to action later this year.

UFC fighters line up to take on MMA’s biggest star of all time in his comeback bout with Nate Diaz, Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira among first-time favorites in McGregor.
