London, along with the rest of the UK, feels expensive at the best of times, and going out for “a quick one” in Soho can still leave you about £40 out of pocket for just a couple of drinks. The good news is that Laki Kane, a brand new site on Oxford Street, is celebrating its launch with 5,000 free cocktails it’s giving away to the general public – but there’s a catch.

In order to get your hands on a free drink, you have to say the secret password: "Get Lucky at Laki”. The tropical cocktail bar will be stacked with signature rum-led cocktails and comes complete with a dancefloor, a 3am licence, and some serious late-night energy – if you’re one of the few who manages to stay up beyond 10pm, that is.

The free giveaway is running across more or less the whole of April, between 6th and 30th, Monday to Thursday. You’ll have to be turning up for a drink between 5-7pm to claim the free drink, sort of like a happy hour.

There are plenty of other terrific treats on offer, too, like their custom in-house slot machine, where you could win the opportunity to wipe your entire meal off the bill if you hit the three-matching-symbols jackpot. If you’re not quite as lucky as that, it’s not a hardline win or lose, and other prizes up for grabs include Teremana Margaritas, shots, and cocktails.

Alongside the drinks, there will be a new Thai-inspired menu which anyone who is a fan of Laki Kane’s flagship Islington site will recognise.

Laki Kane is helmed by Georgi, which may not sound like exciting news to people outside of the hospitality industry, but he's the man behind the iconic Mahiki bars, which welcomed guests like Prince Harry, Rihanna and countless A-listers.
