GTA 6 Brings Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell to Life at Miami Heat Arena

Two familiar fast-food restaurants from Grand Theft Auto have appeared in the real world as part of the promotional campaign for Grand Theft Auto VI. Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell have been recreated inside Miami's Kaseya Center, home of the NBA's Miami Heat, ahead of the game's November 19, 2026, release.

Photos and videos shared by visitors on October 21 and 22 show existing arena food stands transformed with branding from the fictional restaurants. The installations coincide with Rockstar Games' official partnership with the Miami Heat, which will culminate in a special Vice City-themed basketball game on November 18.

Burger Shot, one of the most recognizable fictional restaurant chains in the Grand Theft Auto series, has appeared inside Kaseya Center with its familiar red-and-white branding.

Photos shared on X show the arena's existing Skinny Louie's burger stand rebranded as Burger Shot. The counter features themed signage and packaging, while staff members have been seen wearing uniforms inspired by the fictional restaurant.

Miami-based content creator Joel Franco also shared footage of the stand during a Miami Heat game on October 21. His posts show that visitors can purchase food from the rebranded counter rather than simply viewing it as a promotional display.

However, the restaurant appears to retain food from the existing Skinny Louie's menu. Rockstar has not confirmed whether any items from the Grand Theft Auto games will be recreated for the promotion.

Burger Shot has appeared throughout the franchise as a parody of American fast-food chains. It is particularly known for its exaggerated menu, including the Heartstopper, an oversized burger featuring seven patties.

There is currently no indication that the real-world location will offer the Heartstopper or other fictional menu items.

Burger Shot is not the only fictional restaurant receiving a real-world makeover. Additional photos shared online show a Cluckin' Bell stand inside Kaseya Center, complete with branding inspired by the fried chicken chain from Grand Theft Auto.

Cluckin' Bell first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and has remained a recognizable part of the series' fictional fast-food industry. The arena also features advertisements referencing Vice City and Macca & Friends, one of the fictional brands associated with GTA 6.

These additions bring more of Rockstar's fictional world into the real Miami, which serves as the primary inspiration for Vice City.

Although the themed counters have been photographed by visitors, neither Rockstar nor the Miami Heat has announced how long the installations will remain available. The promotion has also not been described as the launch of permanent Burger Shot or Cluckin' Bell restaurants.

The restaurant installations arrive ahead of A Night in Vice City, a special NBA event officially announced by Rockstar Games and the Miami Heat on October 2. The event takes place on November 18 at Kaseya Center, when the Miami Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks just one day before GTA 6 launches.

For the game, the team will temporarily represent Vice City, wearing a specially designed uniform and competing on a new court created for the occasion. The arena will also feature additional themed entertainment and activities. Some promotional installations were scheduled to appear during the Heat's opening home games, ahead of the main November event.

The partnership has already introduced a large illuminated Welcome to Vice City sign above Kaseya Center. A collection of themed clothing and accessories is also available through the Miami Heat Store. The restaurant makeovers extend that campaign into the arena's concession areas, allowing visitors to experience familiar brands from the games before returning to Vice City in Grand Theft Auto VI.

Rockstar's upcoming open-world game launches on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC release date has not been announced.
