About Us

Why, hello. We’re Brian and Steph, the founders of Roberts and June. Pleased to meet you.

We’re pastors turned bartenders (a natural career ladder right?) and currently call DC home. In addition to a well-stocked bar, we own many bikes, have less than pleasant thoughts about winter (after surviving more than a dozen of them in Boston), and dream about spending a summer in France.

About The Name

Our company name is a combination of our middle names-Robert and June. While some people hate their middle names, we each actually really like ours. Each of us was given our middle name in honor of a family member, and so much about our interest in cocktails came from a love of cooking and hosting, which we learned in our families.

Middle names are so interesting because they’re this distinct part of who you are, but since they’re hidden from most of day to day life, they’re kind of like a secret-only being shared with good friends or when completing lengthy forms (that you hope are being kept in secure cloud storage).. When we were starting our cocktail project, we had other day jobs and vocations that felt solidly like who we were and what we were known for (one of was fairly widely known as the girl who worked with immigrants and ran a massive soccer camp, and one of us was pretty well-known as a pastor who wrote these fun, interesting bible guides) and this name was a way to acknowledge this other side of us that we were equally interested in.

So consider yourself in on our secret, part of our family, and please come join the cocktail fun.
