South Beach Burger King will soon open a restaurant with a Whopper Bar, where customers will be able to buy a beer and a burger. A whopper combo, including a burger, Anheuser-Busch or MillerCoors beer, and fries will cost $7.99 at the Miami Beach restaurant.

Last Friday Burger King announced that the bar,which is scheduled to open in South Beach in mid-February, will have delivery service, as well as a walk up window and an outdoor dining area. Only beer will be unavailable for delivery. The first whopper bar opened last year in Orlando, Florida.

The beers will be sold in aluminum bottles to keep them cold, and will cost $4.25 if purchased alone. Chuck Fallon, president of Burger King North America, told the Associated Press that more bars are being considered in cities like New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. "You can have America's favorite beers with America's favorite burger," Fallon said.
