"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.
"It's down the line, how soon is up to the boss man. He makes all the big decisions."
Mr Flynn also discussed major changes on the way to the Drimnagh location, including an expanded kitchen and new cocktail bar. "It's going to be a fantastic pub," he said.
There are also plans to expand McGregor's Black Forge stout globally. Mr Flynn said: "About a kilometre away from here it's brewed. We can't give too many secrets on it.
"We're going to have this Black Forge stout all over the world. At the moment. it's coming out there now.
"We have it cans and it's going to be on draught everywhere. We had it in London there, two or three weeks ago it and flew out.
"We're doing a pop-up bar in London and we did a pop-up bar in Dubai a few months ago to see how it goes. It's up to the CEO Conor and the rest of the major team to make the decisions."
