Conor McGregor all smiles as he welcomes topless American comedian Bert Kreischer to Black Forge Inn
CONOR McGREGOR'S Black Forge Inn welcomed its latest celebrity guest over the weekend.
American comedian Bert Kreischer paid a visit to the boozer during his time in Dublin, where he was performing a sold-out gig at the 3Arena.
And the eccentric comedian posed alongside the UFC star, doing so topless with a UFC belt over his shoulder.
He shared a photo of the encounter to Instagram, captioning it with: "Having a blast in DUBLIN!
"Thank you @thenotoriousmma for the hospitality and thanks to @theblackforgeinn for the best steak of my life! #TopsOffWorldTour"
In response, The Black Forge said: "Welcome to the best pub in the world @bertkreischer Sláinte!"
Kreischer is far from the first celebrity to pay a visit to the Black Forge, including his fellow comedian Kevin Hart.
The actor and funny man even went so far as to video chat the ex-UFC champion to thank him for his hospitality when he visited in June.
Back in November, former world boxing champion Ricky Hatton stopped by to take in the hospitality.
The Hitman had just seen his young protege Brett McGinty improve his pro record to 6-0 after a points win over Alessandro Ruggiero.

Afterwards Hatton, 44, enjoyed his down time around the capital by taking in some acoustic songs in Temple Bar as well as pitching up at the establishment.
The former multiple-weight world champion happily smiled for the camera as he gave McGregor's UFC belt a go.
Over the summer, the late-Coolio delighted punters with a surprise performance in the pub.
The American rap icon tragically died in September at the age of 59, and had visited Ireland in June.
During his trip, he spent night-out at The Black Forge Inn, the Crumlin boozer owned by Conor McGregor.
While there, he stunned punters with a joyous performance of his legendary classic 'Gangsta's Paradise'.
The impromptu performance was captured on video at the time by the bar's manager, Liam Flynn.
Flynn shared the video to social media with the caption: ""Front row seats watching Coolio perform Gangsters paradise.
"Best Thursday in here so far!"
In the video, he is rapping the song while a guitarist plays instrumentals in the background.
When it comes to the chorus, he lowers the microphone to allow for the crowd to serenade him with it.

Fellow fight stars Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett and Yoel Romero also acquiesced to the allure of the boozer, with the former taking a surprise video call from McGregor himself.
Meanwhile, football stars have also stopped by for a visit, including Ireland legend Ronnie Whelan, Arsenal icon Ian Wright, and Celtic great John Hartson.
