Burger King Bar in Miami to Offer Burgers & Beer

Burger King is gearing up to open a new "Whopper Bar" in the South Beach area of Miami, where both hamburgers and beer will be served up. The Whopper Bar will open in mid-February, and according to BK North American president Chuck Fallon, more could soon be coming to big city hot spots in locations like New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

Beer at the Whopper Bar will be served in aluminum bottles to keep them cold, and will be priced at $4.25. A Whopper combo with beer will be priced at $7.99, which is a mere $2 more than the same combo meal with a traditional fountain drink.

The beer products sold will be from Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors.

One Whopper Bar location is already open in Universal City in Orlando, Fla., however that location does not serve beer. Some international BKs do serve beer, but the South Beach location will be the first in the U.S. to serve beer. As of now, there are no plans on the table to sell beer at conventional Burger King locations.

The Whopper Bar concept is a more trendy twist on the fast-food burger. Available at the Whopper Bar are the Whopper, Double Whopper and Steakhouse XT. Employees known as Whopper-istas build the burgers, and there are 22 different toppings to choose from to put on your sandwich.
