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.

Ah yes, just what the great state of Florida needs...more places to buy alcohol and make unsafe for minors.

Finally. I really CAN have it my way.

People that don't want their kids around drinking can choose other places... just like the do now.

It's no different than if they tore down the BK and put up an TGIF. It's a restaurant that serve beer.

YES!!!

Awwww... that won't work at all. I've only craved BK since I've been pregnant and, well, can't exactly sit there and down the brewskies in this condition.

I used to live in Germany, and I always thought that it was the coolest thing to be able to buy beer at McDonalds. They sold Beck's, which is worse than piss to Germans. You could get better beer out of the vending machine at the train station. But, just to say I did it, I bought and drank a beer at McDonalds. Sadly, that has not changed my life.
