The UFC star was alongside popular YouTube group the Nelk Boys, a Canadian group with over eight million subscribers on their YouTube channel.
The Nelk Boys made the trip to Ireland specifically to link up with McGregor ahead of St Patrick’s Day 2025.
In a video posted on the YouTubers social media accounts, McGregor can be seen alongside the group's front man, Kyle Forgeard, drinking his own Forged Irish Stout - created to rival Ireland's most famous 'black stuff', Guinness - behind The Black Forge Inn bar.
“Down the hatches,” McGregor said in a toast with the group before sending his pint.
The 36-year-old was later spotted doing shots with the group and made a speech before drinking his liquid spirit.
“To the Nelk Boys,” McGregor said as the group embraced their shots.
“I appreciate you here in Ireland at The Black Forge Inn for St Patrick’s Day.
“Kyle, I appreciate the kind words. I feel the same, I see what you are doing, I respect what you are doing and more power!”

‘The Notorious’ has since been involved in a whole host of public events, including the promotion of his bare knuckle fighting league, BKFC, and his Irish-based label Greenback Records.
McGregor also teased fans with a Limp Bizkit concert appearance in Dublin last week, but was booed by his home city crowd when mentioned by the American nu metal band during the event.
The Irishman has also teamed up with celebrity jeweler TraxNYC to hand out gold and silver to locals in Dublin.
Bars and coins worth $100,000 have been hidden around the city, with people currently attempting to locate the precious metals.
Some have been stashed in well-known landmarks such as the Molly Malone Statue and the City Hall, but others will prove harder to find.
Coins include Black Forge Inn gift cards, while McGregor's pub has been littered with gold and silver as well.
