MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Burger King is opening a restaurant in Miami Beach that will serve beer along with burgers and fries, the chain’s first U.S. location with alcohol.
At the Whopper Bar South Beach, guests can pair a Whopper sandwich with Anheuser-Busch and Miller-Coors brews. With fries, the combo will run $7.99.
The restaurant will offer outdoor dining, a walk-up window and delivery service.
It’s scheduled to open mid-February. The announcement was made Friday.
Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy says adding beer at selected locations around the world is part of Miami-based Burger King’s effort to reinvent itself as a fast-food restaurant with a sit-down feel.
Hottovy said making the new image resonate could be a challenge in some locations.

-This trend is going to spread through America like the plague. I know that beer will be available in other cities as well (Las Vegas, Reno, and others). How awesome an idea is this??? They should have done this ages ago if you ask me. Looks like the BK possibly just became my new favorite fast food joint!!
