New Beginnings: Our Brick & Mortar Grand Opening

As we begin to set up everything necessary for one of our most anticipated days, everyone stops for a second to just take it all in. Everything we’ve been working so hard for the past couple of months is finally here, our grand opening.

With the doors wide open at the Lokels Only first ever brick and mortar, our guests stepped in with big smiles. Our main focus always being our community and our neighbors, we thought what better way to get to know everyone than welcoming them to our humble abode that we’ve spent so much time nurturing and growing. 

So we invited all of the artists, creatives, and small local businesses that we could find to be a part of this special day to come and celebrate with us, finding some old faces, as well as new ones that we were so ecstatic, could join us.

Sitting back and watching all of our guests interact like family, sip on some of the most delicious coconuts and munch on burgers from our amazing vendors: Coco Lily and Uncle Johnny’s Burgers was really the most rewarding moment we could have ever asked for.

After, so many months of hard work we put into this space we were finally able to take a step back and appreciate everything and everyone who’s come this far with us on this journey. So as we all learned and cheered to some of the Philippine's most delicious gin that we were so lucky enough to try provided by our good friend Darwin and the ARC Distillers, we made lifelong connections and raised our glasses to Lokels only.

Cheers to our hardworking team, family, and to everyone else who has been involved!

Much Love
