CONOR MCGREGOR’S PUB in Drimnagh is “fine” after a small fire was started at the front of the premises which is being investigated as an incident of criminal damage by gardaí. 

A panel on the front of the pub was seen to be in flames around 3 am this morning, the fire caused limited damage. 

Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene at The Black Forge pub on Drimnagh Road at around 3 am.

“Firefighters from Dolphins Barn were mobilised to the address and on arrival found a small fire at the front of the building. Using a high pressure hose reel, one fire engine dealt with the incident” a DFB spokesperson said. 

They added that the scene was then handed over to gardaí.

A Garda spokesperson said that no injuries were reported and that a technical examination of the scene has taken place.

Staff today told The Journal that the bar will be open for business as usual.

A new panel is currently being fitted to the front of the pub.

McGregor acquired the bar in 2020. 

Last year, the former UFC fighter was found liable for sexually assaulting Nikita Hand by a jury verdict in the High Court. 

He has appealed the decision, and the result of his appeal is pending.
