Drunken Dragon, South Beach’s first Korean barbecue restaurant, presents the do-it-yourself method of tableside grilling paired with modern Asian tapas, courtesy of executive chef Xavier Torres (formerly of Miami’s The Dutch, Nobu, Zuma).
Homecookin’
Hospitality Group partners Jarred Grant, Angel Febres and Conrad Gomez, along
with KNR Hospitality’s Navin Chatani, are the masterminds behind the
Asian-inspired gastropub and cocktail bar.
Drunken
Dragon boasts Korean barbecue tables with communal grills for guests to roast
an array of intensely-flavored food over an energetic flame, along with an
extensive menu of modern family-style dishes made for sharing. Non-traditional
plates are influenced from all over Asia – from Thailand, Japan to Vietnam –
and are lovingly prepared to satisfy a variety of palates.
The exterior
of Drunken Dragon, a plain strip mall, is just foreplay for the provocative and
well-crafted interior; as designed by Los Angeles-based [Studio Collective]. As
an homage to the Latin supermarket that previously called the space home, the
restaurant is marked simply by a red neon “MARKET” sign floating above a set of
dark tinted windows. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are greeted by a dim
sum cart hostess stand and walls decked out with heavy ropes and steamy
photography of Japanese bondage. A 300-pound slab of reclaimed Douglas fir from
Oregon is suspended from the ceiling, functioning as a communal table for large
groups near the equally striking bar of the same sustainable wood.

Drunken
Dragon’s elaborate tiki-themed cocktail program translates into handcrafted
drinks served in authentic mugs brimming with tropical ingredients and exotic
aromas – bringing mixology to a whole new level.
The entrance
of this delectable dining experience is on Alton Road and inspired by the
Foxhole Bar’s unmarked entrance.
