Conor McGregor hails most successful week ever for Black Forge Inn after party scenes at Dublin pub

Conor McGregor hailed last week as the most successful ever for his Dublin pub the Black Forge Inn.

The UFC star said the takings over the seven day period was the same as what the bar used to make in the space of an entire year.

He also claimed his black forge stout was leaving Guinness "in the dust" after almost three times as many of these pints were sold compared to the original black stuff.

McGregor said on Twitter: "800 pints of Forged Irish Stout sold this weekend vs 290 pints of Arthur.

"We are not just outdoing here, we are leaving in the dust! The most successful weeks take we’ve had in the pub since opening.

"In one week we took what the pub used to take in a year! @blackforgeinn. Wow."

He also posted an image of him enjoying a pint of Forged Irish Stout which he termed "Ireland’s cream of the crop".

It was another busy weekend for the Drimnagh pub with revellers enjoying party scenes on Sunday.

The Notorious posted videos and pictures from the venue on social media, with many showing a violinist standing on top of the couches as people danced around her.

He also posted three separate images on Instagram of friends he entertained over the weekend, with them "all enjoying the greatest public house on earth @theblackforgeinn".

MMA fighter Paige VanZant was also among the visitors to the Black Forge Inn in recent days.

Former UFC fighter VanZant was in Dublin to watch her husband Austin Vanderford compete at Bellator's 3Arena show last Friday night.

VanZant previously admitted she couldn't wait to visit McGregor's pub ahead of her trip to Ireland.
