Conor McGregor’s £2m Dublin pub is attacked with PETROL BOMBS overnight

Conor McGregor’s £2million Dublin pub was attacked with petrol bombs overnight hours after the UFC star was at the venue, according to social media posts. 

Police are investigating the alleged attack by two men on scooters at the Black Forge Inn pub – and probing claims pipe bombs were left at the scene.   

McGregor, who is from Dublin, bought the venue on Drimnagh Road in Crumlin, a southern suburb of the Irish capital, in 2019. 

Gardai today appealed for witnesses and dashcam footage recorded near the pub overnight.  

A source told Dublin Live that two men on scooters were seen near the pub, which was closed at the time, before the alleged attempted bombing.

They said: ‘There was two people allegedly spotted on scooters who passed the establishment at the time and next thing they were being chased by two others who had come out of the property.

‘McGregor had been holding a taste testing menu in the pub at the same time so the alleged attackers may have assumed he was inside.’

The stylish bar features The Notorious, McGregor, heavily in its branding.
