“Most founders dream of exits — I dreamt of buyback.  Owney’s was born to be scrappy, soulful, and unapologetically New York. This is about protecting the spirit — literally and culturally — of what made Owney’s impossible to ignore in the first place.

2026 will mark Owney’s return — evolved, elevated, and louder than ever. We’re building this next chapter not as a comeback, but as a creative revolution — for rum, for New York, and for every bartender who believed in us from day one.” - Bridget C Firtle
