This is, as far as I can tell, the first case of it being used for a burger bar.
GBK are at the higher end of burger bars, of course; and in this case they have actually fitted (a limited number of) taps to make the premises start to resemble a pub a little bit. But I'm fairly sure they still want you to buy a burger to drink here. As you often have to wait outside for a free table, its not like they really have capacity to spare - but on a very sunny day, there was actually a fair bit of space inside and only a wait for the outside tables.
I suspect there may be longer term plans to convert this to a pub, and the licence acquired for those plans has just been applied to make some money in the interim - I really can't see that they were likely to breach the rules on serving beer on a wine licence, or that the spirits that they have at the micro-bar are going to be in huge demand. But its there, it has a conventional pub licence, so it needed to be ticked off. Burger was acceptable, pint was poor.
