Conor McGregor eyes up new boozer in Temple Bar to add to pub empire

Conor McGregor has announced his plans for one of his most significant business ventures yet as he plans to open a pub in Temple Bar.

The Dubliner opened his pub the Black Forge Inn back in 2021 after spending a seven-figure sum renovating the spot.

Among his portfolio is the Marble Arch Pub in Drimnagh and the Waterside in Howth but both have been closed since acquired by McGregor.

The MMA star has announced that he plans to open a boozer in prime tourist spot Temple Bar.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani over the weekend about the Black Forge Inn, he said: "This is not a restaurant, it’s a public house with restaurant quality to it; to be honest, above restaurant quality to it. The chef in there and the team are in line for a Michelin, we are excited about it.

“I have about five others in production phase, construction, building and renovation phases, Howth, another one close by to here (The Marble Arch in Drimnagh), I’ve a few others close to here, Temple Bar is also lined up.

“So they are in construction phase at present. They won’t be Black Forge Inn though; the name, I’m still in that process.

“But I wish to bring this for sure to the United States of America and all across the globe. OK, we have got the greatest stout, Forged Irish stout, the smoothest, the creamiest. We have got the greatest whiskey, the smoothest liquid gold on the land, on the planet, Proper No 12."
