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.

I wonder about that. We had a fast food (local) selling beer. Then people complained because it was encouraging alcohol consumption in cars. SO they limited it to sit down business only. The restaurant did not last long.

I wonder about it too, don't think it'll be a good idea! The kids and I go to BK a lot, and most fast foods are frequented by kids mostly, sort of a "hang out" place, good for families too, having lunch with the kids. Why spoil it with alcohol? And tempting kids to drink Beer?
I hope it fails, and if one comes to Jacksonville, I'll make my complaint loud and clear!
