Why on earth would you think that? They are a family of scangers with no taste. He bought it because its near Crumlin. It would have been a well known pub a few years ago.I didn't know where Black Forge was located exactly in Dublin, so I decided to google it. I was surprised by the location if I'm honest. On a main road with what looked like no adequate or suitable parking around. I expected it to be somewhere with plenty parking, nice gardens, etc. I've only seen the inside of the place from photos and from the outside a little, but not like it is on google maps so it did surprise me on the location. Anyone surprised by the location? For those located in Ireland and close to Dublin, you'll know better on location suitability. I just thought Conor being as wealthy as he is and investing into a pub, he would have picked a more scenic location - not surrounded by a bookies, newsagents and hairdressers.
The idiots who go there wouldn't appreciate nice gardens or a scenic view!
