Inside Conor McGregor's wild St Patrick's Day celebrations at his Dublin pub

Conor McGregor gave followers an inside look at his pub's raucous celebrations for St Patrick's Day through a slickly-produced video that charted the party scenes that unfolded all night.

As you'd expect, the MMA superstar was at the heart of it as he looked to be having a blast while mingling with family and punters alike.

His fiancée Dee Devlin beamed while their children were also present on what is always one of the biggest nights of the year for pub owners nationwide.

There looked to be a cracking atmosphere throughout the day and night in the Crumlin boozer with various live acts performing from traditional Irish dancers to a saxophone-playing musician getting everyone on their feet in the wee hours.

At one point in the video, Conor declared: "It's going to be a wild one this evening for sure!"

He later added: "Paddy's Day always has that energy no matter what though.

"It just feels like the good ole days you know that kind of way?

"Paddy's Day is back! It feels like we're all back so for sure it's a great day."

Speaking of being back, Conor, Dee and the kids had only just returned from their latest exotic holiday in order to be home for Ireland's national holiday.

The 33-year-old alerted followers to his return home on Wednesday March 16 when he shared workout pics from his old haunt of Crumlin Boxing Club.

The accompanying caption read: "St Paddy’s eve work at Crumlin boxing club. The school of excellence!"

Given how St Patrick's Day has been such a muted occasion each of the last two years, it's no surprise the former UFC double champ wanted to be there for the first edition of the holiday that allowed for an all-out party.

There's also the motivation to be there since his frequent presence is bound to maximise the pub's appeal to tourists in town for the week.

For now, The Notorious appears content to focus on his business interests outside of fighting as he's in no great hurry to get back inside the octagon.

He had indicated as such while being interviewed last month at Bellator 275 in the 3Arena.

He said: "Once I get the leg cleared and I get that feeling when I kick a body, step back in and out, then I'll be able to gauge time.

"Then I'm going to isolate myself, stay away from the pub, stay away from my Forged Irish stout, my delicious smooth Proper 12 Irish whiskey and dedicate myself to my craft 100 per cent.

"I'll give it a month or two of that and see how everything goes and then make the move [for a comeback].

"I'm in no rush, I know there are a lot of people supporting me, I want to do them well and that's what we're going to do."
