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 MillerCoors 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.

They will prOBably bring in big bucks, while training children beer is great, not evil.

hey deputy dog, I hope that is not a burger king crown under your rep points! (just kidding)

BK was my favorite of the fast food restaurants...I guess I will go on a diet!

When will the Big Mac place follow suit?

If this draws in big money for BK you can bet the others will follow soon.

I heard that this is pretty common in other countries.

King of beers + King of Burgers = another place I'll feel some conviction for entering.

Like Pepsi (Taco Bell) backing the sodomite agenda.

Humph!! WHY OH WHY?? I loved Burger King. They have the best fast food burgers around. First their commercials got raunchy and know they are serving beer. Go figure!

[JerryNumbers]

The wife and I use to like the burgers at BurgerKing, but them we stopped at a Whataburger, it seemed to be even better. But we have neither a BurgerKing or a Whataburger in our small town, only the Big Mac and its not worth eating.

Seeing I am moving down south in four months, I can go to Braums! They have some tastey hamburgers. I will have a Chick-fil-a around too. I guess there are some advantages to moving down south! I have seen Whataburgers but have never eaten at one. We passed a lot of them when going to Louisiana.

Linda and I had never paid attention to the Whataburgers. A year or 2 back we made a trip to Houston, the wife, her aunt, and I went to a Whataburger, I was reluctant, but its was delicious.

Since them we've tried a few of them, so far they have been quite good.

To me, Burger King is not as good as it once was, and I have never cared for the place that has the Big Mac.

I like the Waffle Houses too.

Culver's is great here.

WOW. Unreal. This would be a good place to set up road checks.

Can you pick up a beer and burger in the drive through?

Even worse when you need a DD to hit BK!
