Burger King’s have-it-your-way promise is about to come with an age restriction.
The restuarant chain is set to open a Whopper Bar, offering hamburgers and beer, in the South Beach section of Miami in mid-February. USA Today reported Friday that more Whopper Bars could be coming to hot spots such as New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, according to Chuck Fallon, president of Burger King North America.
At the Whopper Bar, beer will be served in aluminum bottles to keep them cold and cost $4.25. A Whopper combo with a beer costs $7.99, roughly $2 more than the same combo meal with a fountain drink.
The restaurant will sell Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors products.
There is already a Whopper Bar in Universal City in Orlando, Fla. that does not have beer, and some locations abroad serve up suds. But the South Beach location will be the first to sell beer in the U.S.
There are no plans to sell beer at conventional Burger Kings.
The Whopper Bar concept offers hamburgers such as the Whopper, Double Whopper or Steakhouse XT built by employees known as a Whopper-ista, reported the Sun-Sentinel . There are 22 different toppings to choose from to build your sandwich.
Other restaurant chains are seeking ways to expand their brand and attract a younger crowd. In Seattle Starbucks created a cafe called 15th Ave Coffee and Tea, which sells coffee and espresso drinks as well as beer and wine .
McDonald’s recently gave one of its restaurants an “urban redesign.” The restaurant in New York City offers free Wi-Fi, laptop outlets and chairs instead of bolted-down booths.
