Emergency crews rushed to a Dublin pub owned by Conor McGregor early Friday morning as flames engulfed the premises
The former UFC champion acquired the Crumlin establishment for approximately £2 million in 2019.
The venue has since become a regular haunt for celebrities, with American rapper 50 Cent marking his 50th birthday there before his Longitude Festival appearance this month.
Friday’s incident marks the second time flames have threatened the premises. In 2022, attackers targeted the Irish pub with petrol bombs mere hours after McGregor had been present at the venue.

The pub sits on Drimnagh Road in Crumlin, a neighbourhood in south Dublin. Emergency services mobilised quickly to the location as the blaze took hold of the building.
Dublin Fire Brigade deployed several units to combat the flames whilst Garda officers managed the scene. The scale of the response reflected the severity of the incident at the well-known establishment.
The pub fire comes during a turbulent time for McGregor, who has faced multiple controversies recently.
Earlier this month, photographs emerged showing him kissing an unidentified woman on a Fort Lauderdale beach whilst his fiancée Dee Devlin was absent.

Rapper Azealia Banks subsequently accused the fighter of sexual harassment on social media. The 34-year-old artist posted explicit images last week that she alleged McGregor had sent her without solicitation.
Despite these controversies, McGregor and Devlin have maintained their relationship, recently celebrating his 37th birthday together in Sardinia.
