The move is expected to cement McGregor’s reputation as a successful businessman in addition to his achievements in the UFC.
The Black Forge Inn, owned by UFC star Conor McGregor, is reportedly eyeing Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as part of its global expansion plans.
McGregor’s pub has become popular among global celebrities since it opened in Drimnagh in 2021. Along with The Marble Arch in Drimangh and The Waterside in Howth, McGregor’s pub empire is set to expand further with plans to open The Black Forge in multiple locations worldwide.
According to the front-of-house manager, Liam Flynn, The Black Forge is planning to open in the Middle East, United States, and England. “We’re going Abu Dhabi and Dubai,” said Flynn. “Then it’s going to get exciting, we’re going to Boston, New York, Chicago, and then we’re going to London. And all of these pubs abroad are going to be called The Black Forge.”
