Javier Ortiz
Owner - General Manger

Javier has worked his way through nearly every position in the bar industry. Whether it’s security, legal affairs, barbacking, bartending, general manager, or owner, Javier has done it all and knows the business inside and out. All of that said, he is still a much slower bartender than Cory.

Chuckles

Chuckles was created by our resident designer/mad scientist (Michael Brennan) out of children's toys and bones. Chuckles oversaw all construction at First Edition and isn’t evil per se, but he does love taking excessive amounts of selfies and hiding Lime scooters in incredibly difficult to find places in his free time.
