⇨ Penicillin
Following their exit from The Old Man, Agung Prabowo and Roman Ghale have teamed up with their partners, Laura Prabowo and Katy Ghale, to debut two new concepts—the larger and more conceptual of which is Penicillin, a “closed-loop” bar which prioritises sustainability and local heritage. The bar, which derives its name from both the medical discovery and a famous whiskey-based cocktail, takes a scientific, experimental approach towards mixology. Think foraged and fermented ingredients, interesting extraction processes, and innovative, resourceful uses of “scraps.”
The theme is carried through into the Betty Ng-designed space, which evokes vintage laboratories and apothecaries with its white tiles, scientific equipment, and raw natural materials. For a cocktail that tastes good and does good, try the One Penicillin, One Tree ($110)—for every order, one native tree gets planted in the endangered Kalimantan rainforest in Borneo.
