Burgers and Beer?

So this article is from Resturant News magazine. It states that there will be a burger king opening in Miami this month that will be selling beer. It is referred to by the author as a BK Bar. A non-conventional quick service restaurant with booze as its main attraction. I feel as though its a great idea. It allows them to bring in an entirely new market, they will still have the college vote either way but beer will bring more of them in the doors. However, It could be a sign of how poorly they are doing financially. If you ask me, though, A beer and a whopper and I'm all set.

  1. I heard about this on the radio about a month ago. They were mocking the idea really. People are going to get drunk in the bar area, and then go across the room and get a burger to try and sober up. It says in the article that they will serve beer from 8am to 5am. So does that make them a liquor store selling beer to go? that is the only thing that really doesn't make sense to me. What about the liabilities of someone getting too drunk there and doing something stupid that gets Burger King in trouble? If you ask me it doesn't seem like a good idea on Burger Kings part.

  2. I want to say I heard this a while ago, but I saw this earlier on NRN.com. Hey, if BK wants to open a quick service bar, I'd be in to dropping by and checking it out. It seems like a good enough idea to bring in a crowd, especially a more adult crowd. Though Chris does have a point, how long can Burger Kings bar hold out before the first BK Bar Fight breaks out. I'm going to keep an eye on this, it seems like it could actually work.
