We were converting the Williamsburg location into a more elaborate beer program, and we needed to fit more beer.

We made one first at our Williamsburg spot. It's awesome! How did you come up with the idea for it? We ended up taking a space down the block and turned that into Randolph Beer. The cocktail bar was more of a late-night party scene and we were outgrowing it, so we focused on the beer scene. Over time, beer became more of what we were into. We didn’t want to carry more beers in a cocktail bar and have it be an afterthought. The original bar only had one beer (PBR) – but people would come in all the time and ask for beer.

Then I saw a piece of mail from my parents house which said Randolph, New Jersey and I thought "The Randolph" made sense for that type of place, plus it had this connection to the original group behind it. We were looking for names which were apropos for the time for a cocktail bar things like "The Vanderbilt". I’m actually from Randolph, New Jersey but we didn’t just call it that for the town. Anyway, a few years later a bunch of those partners were gone so myself and some new partners turned it into a real business - a cocktail speakeasy called Randolph.

It was a place where we all partied and had fun but it was a terrible business. It’s like how every group of young kids growing up says, “We wanna buy a bar someday." Well, we actually did it. In 2004, I bought a bar in the Lower East Side with some friends from high school. Tell us about how you started Randolph Beer!
