Conor McGregor and The Black Forge Inn

In 2019, McGregor realized his dream of owning his own restaurant when he purchased the Black Forge Inn. The pub in Crumlin, Dublin, is situated right in the suburb Conor McGregor was brought up in.

As per reports, ‘The Notorious’ acquired the pub for a sum of £2 million. However, he spent over a million pounds more on the renovations and redesign.

Recently, the Black Forge Inn was under attack. According to reports, an unknown entity hurled two petrol bombs at the venue. Fortunately, neither the premises nor any employees suffered any serious damage.

The Irishman dreams of owning his chain of pubs across the world, and ‘The Black Forge Inn’ in Dublin is just the beginning. Knowing McGregor’s vision and track record in getting things done, he just might. Perhaps he could name one of them Shredded Joe’s and see his vision come to life?
