Acclaimed speakeasy bar #FindTheLockerRoom celebrates its second anniversary this July. Presented by The Botanist, Jose Cuervo, Mount Gay, Remy Martin, and Naked Grouse, from 18 to 27 July 2019, an array of festivities awaits as esteemed bartenders from around the world join its star-studded founders in this joyous occasion.

Hidden behind walls of lockers in the hustle and bustle of a Thonglor shop-house, #FindTheLockerRoom has become home to local cocktail connoisseurs and travellers in search of a memorable experience. Be it a good old classic or a modern twist, #FindTheLockerRoom’s concept of serving up “Past-Present-Future” drinks present an opportunity for guests to discover the story behind each cocktail.

Founded by a group of famed Asian bartenders; Ronnaporn “Neung” Kanivichaporn and Chennarong “Jan” Bhumichitr from Bangkok’s own Backstage Bar, with Hidetsugo Ueno from Bar High Five in Tokyo, Colin Chia from Nutmeg & Clove in Singapore and Nick Wu from Bar Mood in Taipei, #FindTheLockerRoom brings its guests on a cultured journey through a specially curated menu.

Kicking off its second anniversary celebration, #FindTheLockerRoom presents a sneak peek into its new cocktail menu on 18 July, Thursday. Shaking up by two of its founders; Hidetsugo Ueno and Nick Wu; for one-night-only, guests get to taste a selected range of creations before its new menu official release. On the same night, Alessandro Palazzi (right), renowned head barman at Dukes London; whose mixology skills have led Dukes Bar on the map locally and internationally, joins the celebration serving up his known-martinis in a pushcart in The Botanist Bar on the first floor.

Bringing it back closer to home, on 24 July, Wednesday, #FindTheLockerRoom invited award-winning bartenders from Malaysia to take over the bar for the night. Featuring Shawn Chong from Omakase + Appreciate, Arsenio Mariano Jr. (Ash) from The Vault, CK Kho from Coley and Rizal Johari (Junior) from W Kuala Lumpur, expect a memorable experience while our guest bartenders charm the night away.

With more than 10 years of bartending experience, the Slovakian-born travelled around the world presenting at bar shows and seminars focusing on new techniques and style of preparation.

Marking the speakeasy’s two years, and in efforts to show appreciation to the support of its loyal patrons, #FindTheLockerRoom launches its social media presence on Instagram and Facebook. Starting out #FindTheLockerRoom, the founders’ simple vision of putting a smile on every guest that walks through the bar has never wavered, which is seen in the returning customers. As an assurance to keep up with that commitment, #FindTheLockerRoom is now live on Instagram @findthelockerroom.bkk and on Facebook @findthelockerroom engaging its guests beyond the four walls (and lockers) of the bar.

The 10-days celebration marks a milestone for this humble speakeasy that started as a project to celebrate the founders’ passion and love in making tipples for enjoyment. #FindTheLockerRoom credits its success to the unwavering support of everyone who has walked through the bar from day one and strives to bring innovations to the bar scene as it continues to evolve with the world.
