If you go onto Conor McGregor’s Instagram page these days he appears to be in his own pub, The Black Forge Inn, every second night of the week.
So when we arrive at The Black Forge Inn on the Long Mile Road in Crumlin, Dublin 12, on a Wednesday evening and see a flash Bentley parked right outside the front door we can’t help thinking, is he actually in there tonight?
Inside, the signs of McGregor are everywhere; his tiger tattoo stencilled on the brick wall of the smoking area, bottles of his Proper No. 12 Whiskey line cubby holes in the walls, and all the bar staff wearing sharp waistcoats as if McGregor has styled them out of his own wardrobe.
