Just remember going to a bar and resisting drinking is the first step to eventually going to the bar to drink. [36:60] Did I not covenant with you, O Children of Adam, that you shall not worship the devil? That he is your most ardent enemy?....... remember that line. Satan is the enemy of mankind and the most valuable thing a Muslim possess is her or his Iman and Satan is on a mission to destroy your Iman and he starts destroying it with baby steps such as going to a bar and not drinking, going out clubbing to make friends but not hooking up etc.---------------------- so before you do anything you should question yourself about how your actions will affect your Iman.

A fatwa by Sheikh Abdullah Bin Bayyah here: http://www.suhaibwebb.com/blog/general/eating-in-a-place-that-serves-alcohol-dr-abdullah-bin-bayyah/ And Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi here: http://www.islamonline.net/livefatwa/english/Browse.asp?hGuestID=Tb3698 (scroll down to the question about pubs) I have also heard that there is a distinction to be made between a pub and restaurant where alcohol is served- where the former's main purpose is to sell alcohol, and the latter to serve food. It is common for people at a pub to just be sitting around drinking, but not in a restaurant or a cafe. Allah knows best. Perhaps Imam Suhaib could shed more light. Salaam alaikm

In London; it byob everywhere... people are always going to drink or do stuff... I can tell them to stop but they won't until they want to. Plus. I follow the fatwa that since Christians and Jews are people of the book we can eat their meat as long as its not pork. As long as we say bismillah.

For example, I am an entreprenuer that has to attend networking events frequently, and the people i deal with know I am Muslim and know I dont drink, but i cant ask them to change their behaviors and their place of gathering for my sake. That is selfish.

Just as a Muslim will avoid a casino because of gambling, a restaurant because it serves alcoholic drinks (or doesn't have Halal meat). The general consensus is to avoid these situations. Sometimes it is not possible, such as a grocery store selling alcohol, but in most cases there are alternatives such as eating at a halal restaurant or even a cafe. The Muslims strives to find halal alternatives for everything and puts his/her faith in God's hands. @Mike
