In September 2015, Byron Kelleher opened a rugby-themed bar in Toulouse named The Haka Corner. Maori motives were used as promotional material and French fans were encouraged to film themselves doing a haka through a Facebook page. In New Zealand, Maori Party leader Te Ururoa Flavell and its predecessor Sir Pita Sharples criticized the use of the Maori culture for business and personal gain. They also deemed the association of Maori culture with alcohol unacceptable. They stressed that Kelleher was not a Maori and therefore should not organize such events,. The Haka Corner later issued a statement claiming the haka challenge was organized to help “hospitalised children” and was not a promotional tool for the bar. They also said the bar would help French people discover New Zealand culture. Kelleher told a French newspaper that Maori leaders “picked up the wrong fight” in opposing his haka challenge. New Zealand Rugby also asked for an explanation when they learned The Haka Corner sold official Classic All Blacks clothing altered to include branding for the bar. They declared the All Blacks brand was protected by trademark laws and that a licence was necessary to use it. In September 2016, it was reported Kelleher had sold his shares of the Evangelina, his Toulouse-based restaurant, and of The Haka Corner. Journalists speculated that this was partly related to the various controversies he was linked to.
