Restaurant re-do: The Falcon bar and restaurant has revived the former Death or Glory space in Delray Beach.

One month after Delray Beach’s Death or Glory bar closed, its vintage space has been reborn as The Falcon.

The new bar and restaurant serves globally inspired, shareable dishes and creative, cheekily named cocktails (dreamed up by the team behind Boynton’s hip Sweetwater whiskey bar).

The Falcon revives the ghosts of the old Falcon House bar, one of the former inhabitants of the historic 1925-era house. In fact, this new version is partly the brainchild of former Falcon House bar-back Sean Inglehart, who went on to open Sweetwater.

The cocktails at Delray's new Falcon restaurant and bar were dreamed up by the creative team at Sweetwater bar in Boynton.

Inglehart partnered with Death or Glory owner Annie Blake to bring the new concept to life. Blake describes the new spot as “a local haunt with a sexy atmosphere, great cocktails and global street food.”

The Falcon’s kitchen is in the hands of veteran executive chef Mike Stuhlmuller, whose dishes carry international echoes. They include Puerto Rican mofongo with crispy pork belly, Thai drunken noodles that are handmade in-house, Cypriot fried halloumi, Korean-inspired bulgogi bao, Indian curry cauliflower, Lebanese lamb kofta and other bites.
