I might not drink for obvious reasons and I’m not sure how to feel about a “halal pub”.
The halal market can be a lucrative one as more individuals prefer to utilize halal products and services. Hence it is normal that more and more people are looking into opening up businesses that carry the halal tag so that they can cater to the demand of the market.
