Please come have a look.

I heard this a lot in everyday life. I think two verbs put together like "come have" in the subject line is wrong but acceptable in spoken English, right? Thanks.

Yes, it is perfectly acceptable, but only with 'go' and 'come', I think. And there would be no call for such utterances in formal speech. L et's go (and) have some beer.
