History

Chef and owner Rob Walls opened Double Dragon on November 22, 2011,[1] replacing Artemis Cafe.[4][6]

In December 2012, Walls confirmed plans to renovate the kitchen, expand the food menu, and offer cocktails starting in January. He said the kitchen improvements would "allow us to fully push beyond something that's basically a banh mi shop right now into a place that does all kinds of non-traditional renditions of dishes from all Asian cuisines", and described the new menu options as "a mix of riffs on traditional dishes from all over Asia... other things that have little to do with Asian cuisine but that fit the feel and the flavors that we're putting out and things that sort of fall in between".[2] During a first anniversary celebration on December 5, 2012, the restaurant offered complimentary food from the pending menu.[2] To commemorate the expansion, Double Dragon hosted karaoke and happy hour specials on June 3, 2013.[7]

For Super Bowl XLVII (2013), Double Dragon offered discounted catering orders and duck wings with tamarind, smoked chilis, and palm sugar.[8] For Eater PortlandШаблон:'s Burger Week in 2013, which invited non-burger restaurants to create limited burger-inspired menu options, Double Dragon served an "Asian-inspired" bacon burger with five spices, a fermented bean paste sauce, Sichuan peppercorn, Thai chili, and sambal aioli, and pickles on the side.[9] The restaurant offered guests complimentary rum horchata, gift cards, and drink specials for a second anniversary celebration on November 22, 2013.[10] In 2014, Double Dragon hosted live music curated by the local record label Banana Stand Media. Shows by "secret, unannounced" performers were held each Monday from June 1 to Labor Day.[11]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Double Dragon improved the sidewalk patio with heat lamps, low fencing, roofing, and umbrellas.[12]

During the pandemic, Frane included Double Dragon in Eater PortlandШаблон:'s 2021 list of "15 Restaurants Offering Winter-Friendly Outdoor Seating". He described the outdoor improvements and wrote, "SE Division cocktail bar and restaurant Double Dragon has always had a nice patio, but in the Before Times it was mostly relegated to summertime revelry... Order couple of the bar's tropical cocktail and a thick pork belly or tofu sandwich, and winter will feel a world away."[12]
