Conor McGregor lists €17,500 wine on Dublin menu as price of own stout leaked
Conor McGregor's Dublin pub is selling bottles of wine for a whopping €17,500 while the price of his own-brand stout has been unveiled.
The Dubliner has invested millions in acquiring and renovating the Crumlin boozer, but it has listed the upmarket Petrus 2005 red wine for a mouthwatering €17,500.
In figures first revealed by the Sunday World, McGregor's pub lists bottles of wine ranging from €32 up to €690 before the big gap to the €17,500 price figure, while bottles of champagne are priced between €150 and €780. A quick Google search shows that the Petrus 2005 sells on the open market for around €5,000. The Petrus 2005 retails at around €5,000
The tabloid also says that McGregor sells his own brand Forged Irish Stout for €6 while a Guinness is €6.50 and lagers are €7.30.
McGregor found himself back in the news after three Judges of the Court of Appeal upheld a finding by a jury that he assaulted Ms Hand - whereby they agreed that he raped her in the Beacon Hotel in south Dublin in December 2018. McGregor has been ordered to pay Ms Hand over €2m in legal costs.
Those costs are set to be paid to Nikita as is the balance of a €250,000 in damages awarded to her by the jury at the end of the High Court case last November.
The Irish Mirror understands that Ms Hand is suing McGregor - as well as couple Samantha O'Reilly and Stephen Cummins, who were spectacularly withdrawn as witnesses at the final moment of the fighter's appeal.
In a comment to the Irish Mirror, Nikita's solicitors stated: "We confirm that further proceedings have been issued in the High Court and a Statement of claims has been prepared and will be served imminently."
The Irish Mirror understands the case against McGregor, Ms O'Reilly and Stephen Cummins are for damages for malicious abuse of the process of the court by the Defendants, and each of them, their respective servants and/or agents. She is suing for aggravated and punitive damages as well as costs.
