The 8 oz. Burger Bar (1080 Alton Road, Miami Beach) wants to buy you a drink, it only counts for draft beer and "well drinks," but if you buy one first, they'll buy the next one. The Happy Hour runs daily from 4 to 7 p.m. and from 11 p.m. to close. What's so great about this place and why does everyone keep talking about it? I don't know, I never been there, but buy one get one free is a good deal, long as the buy one part's not a rip off.

Here's what they got on tap for $5 a pint.:

Joe's Lager

California Telegraph White Ale

Skyscraper Lug Nut Lager

Green Flash West Coast IPA

Telegraph Porter

Seasonal Dale Bros.

All those beers are from California, which makes us wonder if the 8 oz Burger Bar is so interested in buying us a drink, why don't they buy some from local brewers? Screw California, we got our own problems, Southern problems, and we should be able to drown em' in Southern hops and barley.
