It came after Taoiseach Micheal Martin announced the lifting of almost all Covid-19 restrictions - allowing pubs and restaurants to return to normal operating hours and capacity limits.
And the former two weight UFC world champion, who bought the Crumlin boozer for £2 million in 2019, shared several photos on Instagram of him enjoying the night with his family.
He wrote: "Own it and run it baby. Who ya talkin to. Yup The Panel beaters."
In another post of him enjoying a drink inside the pub the Dubliner referred to himself as 'El Owner'.
McGregor's pub was the target of a shocking petrol bomb attack just weeks ago when two bombs were thrown at the building.
Gardaí have opened an investigation into the attempted criminal damage and also responded to reports that two pipe bombs had been left at the premises.

The UFC star shared photos of him drinking inside the boozer again just hours after the attack as he said 'life's a b***h'.
A statement from Black Forge Inn Management said: “After hours last night it appears that criminals made an unprovoked effort to inflict damage to the Black Forge Inn.
“There was no damage done to any patrons, employees or the Forge and Mr. McGregor was not on the premises at the time of the incident.
"The gardai have opened an investigation into the event. We are open and busy as always.”
A spokesperson for An Garda Siochana said: “Gardai are investigating an incident of attempted criminal damage at a licenced premises on the Drimnagh Road, Crumlin last night, Wednesday 12th January 2022.
“No damage was done to the premises. Gardai are appealing for witnesses in relation to this incident is asked to contact Gardai."
McGregor is currently out of action in the UFC after suffering a broken leg in his last fight against Dustin Poirier last year.
The 33 year old is ramping up his recovery and UFC President Dana White believes he could be ready to make a return to the Octagon by the summer.
He said: "I think so, yeah. He's doing all the right things with his leg. I'm hoping he can come back this summer."
McGregor has been demanding a title shot against UFC lightweight champ Charles Oliveira.
And as White refused to rule out the possibility several other fighters fear that McGregor will skip the queue to a title shot despite winning just one fight in the last six years.
But McGregor has backed himself to 'walk straight to a title shot' when he returns from injury.
Last August, he said: “The leg tho will be more than equipped to kick.
