The UFC star jetted in from Majorca to attend the awards ceremony, which took place at the Clayton Hotel Burlington Road in the capital.

A photo posted on the Black Forge Inn's Instagram account showed McGregor celebrating the wins with staff from his pub as he held a bottle of his Proper 12 Whiskey.

The caption read: "THE BEST NEW BAR IN IRELAND - THE BLACK FORGE INN. THE BEST TEAM. THE BEST PUB. A DIFFERENT LEVEL."

Posting on social media ahead of the awards ceremony, McGregor wrote: "The @baroftheyear_ awards this evening! It is no wonder @theblackforgeinn is up for a ton of awards! A great honor! Congrats and good luck to my team."

The Crumlin pub reopened its doors last summer after McGregor spent around €1million on renovations after purchasing it for €2million.

It has had a number of well-known visitors in recent months, including jockey Frankie Dettori, former Celtic striker John Hartson and Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
