BK's New Whopper™ Bar

Burger King is launching the newest concept for fast-food restaurants: The Whopper™ Bar.

The first of its kind in Miami will be located on the corner of Washington Ave. and 11 St. in Miami Beach.

This is what makes this new BK unique:

• Customers get the option of creating their own Whopper® with a choice of more than 20 toppings (guacamole, crispy onions....just to name a few)
• Delivery available throughout South Beach from 10 am to 11 pm

And the best part of it all is that they will be selling beer.Yes, beer. (Beer will be available from 8 am to 5 am...slightly excessive if you ask me). Options include:

• Budweiser
• Bud Light
• Bud Light Lime
• Miller Lite
  

WHOPPER™ Bar South Beach is slated to open in mid-February.
