Jakarta-born Agung Prabowo is reshaping global cocktail culture through a distinctive fusion of culinary experimentation and sustainability. With more than 25 years in the industry, he co-founded Penicillin in Hong Kong in 2020, pioneering a farm-to-table philosophy and closed-loop production methods that established it as the city’s first truly sustainable bar. His inventive approach to fermentation, flavour and resource-conscious mixology challenges conventional bartending.

In 2023, he launched Lockdown, reimagining Prohibition-era classics through modern technology. The opening of Penicillin Shanghai in May 2025 extended his vision into China, positioning Indonesian-born creativity at the forefront of a more sustainable future for hospitality.
