At Random

I went to At Random for my 21st birthday which was so fun! My crew each had a different ice cream drink and they were soooo delicious. My honest review is that honestly the flavor could have been a little stronger for some of them but other than that they were sweet and tasty. I didn’t try any of their normal cocktails so I can’t speak to that. The atmosphere definitely was lounge vibes it’s dark and although they provide little lights know that it’s dark and moody and a little noisy. But it’s the whole point so that’s great! The wait staff were super friendly and did not “bother” us too often helped to enhance the overall vibe. The place was well decorated and had a nice outside area that was for self serve window style. Overall would love to go again!!!

My favorite bar in the world, seriously. Live in Chicago and come to Milwaukee frequently (where my bf is from) We hit At Random every single time we are in town. The vibe is amazing. Feels like you were transported back in time. We’ve tried about 10 different milkshakes, and each one is so dang good. My favorite is definitely the Grasshopper and the Strawberry Blondie, but every single one has been great. We’ve also tried a few different cocktails and they were also great. The ice cream they use is truly the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. (I believe it’s Cedar Crest?) Great vibes, Great service, Great Drinks, Great Prices for what you get!

The atmosphere is great, the red lighting provides a romantic and cozy vibe and the ice cream drinks are delicious. Really appreciate that they can be made vegan as well!! The service is a little slow but understandable as it was busy. Overall a great date night location, can't wait to come back and sit outside.

Time machine here...At Random. My wife and I lived in Bay View in the 1990s, a block from At Random. Returning now, in 2025, 30 years later - it all felt very much the same inside. Dim red lighting, booth seats, a friendly bar, welcoming staff - and tons of flavorful drinks. We just had dinner at Three Brothers Restaurant a few blocks away, so we opted for Ice Cream Drinks for dessert. Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers and a Grasshopper were ordered and all taste delicious! Step back in time folks, to a quiet, enjoyable "Milwaukee-Famous" location that I'm sure you'll love.

We made a reservation. I recommend doing that. If there is no seating at the bar, you will not be allowed to stand and order. If you miss your reservation within 15 minutes, they will no longer accommodate it. There were eight of us. It was a Sunday night. We each ordered an ice cream drink. The snicker bar, the pink squirrel, the grasshopper, the chocolate raspberry. They have a happy hour that ended at 7 o’clock. $8 ice cream drinks, regularly $13. Drinks were delicious. But I was disappointed that half my drink was whipped cream. We were there for the experience and THAT did not disappoint. This is a classic Milwaukee cocktail lounge. A must when visiting.

My husband and I had a great time stopping here for some after dinner drinks. Our bartender, Jamie, provided great recommendations as well as made excellent drinks. She as well as the other bartender were very kind in answering all of our questions. The drinks were reasonably priced and top quality. I also appreciated the selection of non alcoholic drinks that were offered! We will definitely be coming back when we are in Milwaukee next!

Another fantastic bar from John Dye. Great drinks. They specialize in ice-cream drinks but the menu is loaded with delicious options of all kind of cocktails. Fun retro atmosphere. Really good bartenders here. Safe close street parking.

Wonderful cocktails. Incredible vibe. And did I mention the cocktails? Absolutely superb!

We visited At Random and had a fantastic time. There was a short 10-minute wait for a table, but it was absolutely worth it. The place has a cozy, retro vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped into a vintage lounge -- perfect for a relaxed night out. The drink menu is the star here, with a great selection of classic and creative cocktails. If you go, you must try the Lovers Bowl -- it's a fun, shareable drink that's both delicious and a total conversation piece. Whether you're out with friends or on a date, this is a great spot for drinks, good vibes, and a touch of nostalgia. Highly recommend!

The culmination of a fun day at At Random. "Occupying a cottage originally built in 1884 and expanded in 1893, At Random today feels just like it did in 1968 when it was opened. It is a great place for an authentic cocktail experience" A real lounge experience known for MKE Old Fashions and old time ice cream drinks. Yum. AND Happy Hour is 5-7 every day it's open. ($8 for the Brandy Alexander)

Have been here several times before. It has become our go-to place for a boozy ice cream dessert after having dinner somewhere else downtown. It's a unique experience -- a retro bar with a big menu of special drinks, especially all the best ice cream drinks. Inside, they have a bar area that also has some small booths. In the back, they have a larger room that can accommodate parties of four. The entire place has a red glow, and it's also dimly lit -- but they now have table lights that make it a bit easier to read the menu. You can also sit on the outside patio and order your drinks at the window, where there are picnic tables for seating. They used to have a menu that was in a three-ring binder. That has now been upgraded to a smaller format that is easier to handle and looks classier. We arrived around 8:00 on a Friday night. It was a warm night, and there were people already on the patio. We decided to get a spot inside (which is my preference). There wasn't any wait, and we got seated right away with a couple of menus. We decided on the Brandy Alexander and the Pink Squirrel. Our server did a nice job taking care of us, and it wasn't long before our drinks came. They were both well-made and delicious. We took our time savoring them. This was the first time I got a Pink Squirrel, and I was surprised at how tasty it was. I didn't even realize what I was drinking (the ingredients), but the server had all the info and explained that it was the crème de noyaux that gives the pink color. Again, a very nice experience, and I will definitely be back for another special after-dinner dessert drink.

Kitschy little cocktail lounge that has been an iconic Milwaukee staple for as far back as I can remember. It's like walking back in time. You would think you were in an old Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin movie. We had a table of nine, and we all ordered different drinks. Their specialty cocktails range from handcrafted cocktails to ice cream drinks. Service was good, the drinks were good. If you're looking for a different experience, you can't go wrong with checking out this novelty!

As you walk into this subtly illuminated restaurant/ bar, you are taken back into the '70s in an old dive bar. The decor inside is a completely different vibe than anywhere else in this neighborhood. The outdoor patio is so upbeat and peppy and a great place to hang out and enjoy a fun cocktail with ice cream. They have so many unique options on the menu, and the servers do such a good job explaining exactly what each drink consists of. If you're not into dairy products they can make almost everything vegan. They also have a great mocktail option as well. This place is a Bay View icon you have to go.

We went here on a Friday around 6:30pm. It wasn't that busy so we were seated right away. The place has a a really cool aesthetic! Felt like we went back in time. We decided to order the love potion drink, which is meant to be shared. It was huge and definitely tasty. Next we both ordered an ice cream drink; chocolate raspberry & snickers. They were both delicious! I couldn't get enough. I will def be back to try more.

This is one of our favorite cocktail lounges to go to in Milwaukee and we recently took some friends here from out of town. The drinks as always were top notch and we absolutely love the atmosphere with the low lighting. Service was fast and friendly even when the place was hopping on a Friday night. If you've never had one of their boozy shakes before I highly recommend you give them a try!

Favorite cocktail spot in downtown Milwaukee! We sat inside and ordered a few drinks. They have something for everyone on their menu and it's such a fun atmosphere insane. We love sitting outside in the summer but the interior makes you feel like you're in a time warp. Service is great and always willing to help give suggestions. Highly recommend!

A few weekends ago, I tried At Random! It's such a unique concept with ice cream drinks, old-school vibes, and cozy heated outdoor private dining. I ordered a Pink Squirrel, an ice cream drink made with crème de noyaux, crème de cacao, and heavy cream. I learned that it was actually invented in Milwaukee in 1941! My visitors from out of town also enjoyed their drinks, though they found them super filling--I thought mine was just right and loved the cookie on top. We visited at 3 PM on a Sunday, and it was completely empty, which made for a relaxed experience. I have tried to go multiple times on busier weekends in the past but did not stay due to the long wait. The only thing I wish I had known beforehand was the extra charge for the igloo seating (not their fault though). It would be helpful to have a heads-up about that since the cost can add up quickly. Our igloo was also missing a server call button, but luckily, our server was attentive, and we didn't end up needing it. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can't wait to go back and check out the indoor seating next time!

This place is so cozy, fun, and unique! The ambiance alone was worth the trip but the drinks were really good too! It definitely has a vintage vibe with a cute outdoor space and an indoor area that kind of reminds me of my grandma's house (in a cool/fun way). Definitely recommend going!

We love At Random. The recent renovations have made this iconic Milwaukee bar even better. Known for their ice cream and other fancy drinks, along with the classic decor, everyone needs to stop by At Random at least once.

Wow wow wow what a hidden gem!! They only sell milkshakes/beverages, so come after dinner! Perfect for a hang out with you girl friends, date night, or to cap off a celebration! The lighting inside was dark and vibey. Staff was friendly! Prices were insanely reasonable?!? $13 for a boozy shake! I had the grasshopper.. 10/10! Not overly boozy. Delicious! I would definitely come again. They have outdoor seating too that I didn't explore. It was almost full on a Friday night, but stick around if there's a wait!

Had a great time- popped in "randomly" the other night and was delighted by the atmosphere and large menu! We ordered a round of cocktails followed by NA ice cream drinks. Loved the fun surprise of the survivor pins in the old cigarette dispenser.

My wife and I stopped into At Random for off-the-cuff drinks on a Saturday night. After trying to enter from two wrong doors, we finally walked to the back, past the fake waterfall (Designed for cheap wedding photos? I don't get it. It's tacky!) Halted by the imposing sign telling us to "WAIT TO BE SEATED," a woman emerged from the rear and told us we could sit anywhere at the bar. Okay, and we did. Nate took great care of us, and his knowledge of mixology was edifying. He is the quintessential cocktail bartender. Our four different cocktails were wonderful, and we left At Random quite happy. I have been utilizing At Random for decades. The lounge served a different purpose in the 1980s and 1990s when I was single, helping me decide if my date had long-term possibilities. Now that I'm an elder statesman, I enjoy At Random just as much, but in a different way. The fifties decor and sultry look are fantastic, and At Random has become an iconic part of Milwaukee lore. It doesn't need that waterfall. Yikes.

At Random is such a unique experience! It feels like you're in a different time period once you step inside. Super retro. The lighting is extremely low, and there is a red hue throughout. The walls, booth set up, and overall decor remind me of my grandma's house, and I don't even mean that as a bad thing. If you're coming here, it's for a specific experience. You're not grabbing a G&T or a beer. On their extensive drink menu you'll find quirky and unique cocktails, boozy sundaes, and their legendary ice cream drinks. Think Brandy Alexanders and tiki-inspired options. I went for the pink lady, which is a pink gin cocktail served up in a pretty martini glass. Really enjoyed it. Not too sweet. My girlfriend went for some kind of blue pineapple cocktail. Though not my thing, I tried a sip and it was good! No pics to share because they kindly ask for no flash photography (which is certainly required to get a solid photo). Overall a fun time to check this place out! Oh and hot tip: either make a rez or plan to wait awhile to be seated. It's a hot-spot.

This place is a whole experience I would recommend to everyone. It's the oldest cocktail lounge in Milwaukee. The service was great. We sat at the bar and were able to watch the bartenders and were just memorized by them making it. If you've never been there's no menu. The mixologists ask what you like and make you a drink. One of the drinks I had was called Madeline's Bubbles and had champagne and hibiscus. The other drink was like a POG juice and was fabulous. The mixologists were super nice. What I like about this place and you can dress casual or dress up it just depends on what you want.

I don't know how or why it has taken me so long to get to At Random. Everything about this spot is so my jam (fun mixology paired with a historical locale--amazing!). I recently reserved one of their heated huts for an evening in their 'magic forest' (hot drinks and seasonal cocktails among twinkle lights and holiday music? Yes, please). We arrived at our appointed time, went inside where the server then showed us to our hut. The heater was already pumping so while a little chilly, it didn't last long. I will mention for the cold-blooded among you--they don't get by any means warm. I kept my coat on for the 90 minutes were were there. I saw other folks who brought blankets, which I would totally do (both for warmth and the total coziness factor). There's both a button for ringing into the bar for service or you can simply order via QR code. We ordered Manhattans served in their cute commemorative santa mugs. The Manhattans were luxardo cherry garnished and well rendered. And, the mugs were adorable! It truly was magical with twinkle lights twinkling as we enjoyed some card games and cocktails in our hut I also was able to see inside At Random after and can't wait to go back. It's completely mid-cenury amazing. It's truly like stepping back in time. An absolutely amazing first experience here with the hope of many more to come. Get to it!

This place is so COOL. I felt like I was in a movie the entire time I was here. The low red lights give this place a real speakeasy vibe and add to the mystery and intrigue. The lounge area gives you a blast from the past with vintage decor and seating but the service and drink offerings are extremely fresh! The milkshakes here are delicious and I love that most of them can be made vegan or non alcoholic. I am not a big drinker but I decided to try one of the alcoholic milkshakes that had amaretto and strawberries, and I was not disappointed! I hate being able to taste alcohol in things but Amaretto is already so mild that it paired extremely well with the other flavors. A quick warning- if you don't like the taste of whiskey don't get a milkshake that has it because it can't squash it down all the way. I tried my husband's and his had a whiskey base and I could tell VERY quickly. Everything is made to order and you can tell the bartenders are doing a lot to get it right so come, be patient, and enjoy the ambiance.

This place truly has it all. The atmosphere was easily one of my favorites I've come across in a cocktail bar. The service was also incredible and my friend and I greatly enjoyed our server's suggestions. Above all else, the drinks were top notch. Beyond the delicious ice cream specialty cocktails, I was pleasantly surprised with how extensive their menu was (over 100 drink options I believe our server said). Will definitely be coming back and bringing out of town visitors here!

Tl:dr This is place is an experience and you should treat it as such - don't book a dinner reservation for 40 mins from when you get there, don't expect to bring a giant party of 7 in with you and just appreciate the ride. At Random was a place my parents mooned over. They would always tell me how much fun they had when they were younger, going there and getting the ice cream drink Brandy Alexander with extra nutmeg. Before I could drink this place seemed romantic, mysterious and a place I knew I was going to have to check out. I've since been to At Random a handful of times and each time the experience is special, romantic and mysterious. Most recently, my husband arrived luckily fairly early at 7ish on a Saturday and were able to get two seats at the bar which was fortunate as the whole front was already full and around the corner in the back seemed pretty scrunched too. While we were there for about an hour and a half, there were streams of people coming in, trying to get a spot and failing. That's the allure of getting "in" and getting the red glowing ambiance while enjoying a high-quality drink. We got ice cream drinks (Butter Pecan for me) and our second drink I tried a crushed ice Watermelon Cooler with gin. They both were delicious and very different. The Butter Pecan has the crushed up nuts and swirled of Carmel that was garnished with the famous cookie and whipped cream/cherry combo. The Cooler was crisp and refreshing with a lime and a good kick of sweet, but with a really nice watermelon flavor. At Random is also now doing an outdoor holiday wonderland with heated tents type scenario - the decorations and great and beautiful, but for me I will always be picking the inside for Fall/Winter and only consider a beverage outside during the summer. Will visit time and time again.

A classic Milwaukee establishment. Located in bay view neighborhood, you walk into this place and are transported back in time. The vintage look and lighting really set the mood for the place. We love bringing friends here to try their milkshake drinks and great cocktail menu. We introduced some friends to the classic Wisconsin Old Fashion here and the waitress was helpful in explaining the differences to them. Bartenders and servers are approachable and not pretentious whatsoever.

This is Milwaukee's cocktail jewel box, a slice of the hip swinging days of the Rat Pack cigarette machines in the hallway, I've been coming for 40 years.....yikes!!! Great ambience- we're packed in like sardines. You feel like you just walked into a cool hip party, Best cocktails in town. Pricey. Don't be a jerk / open that creaky wallet and spend some bucks on premium mixology, Patience is required. Like most most establishments, there's not enough bartenders for labor intensive drinks. For your first foray, go on an off night and Uber. Sit at the bar and chat up your mixologist. Tip well. Pretend you're Rat Pack and wear a suit or cocktail dress. Now go have yourself some Fine libations!!!!!!

Great drinks and even better ambience. The boozy ice cream drinks are dangerously delicious!!

One of the best places in Bayview. They serve drinks only no food. Some of their drinks come with ice cream which is good. You can sit inside or outside and their patio is beautiful. Right now for the winter they have huts you can sit inside and drink. The huts are only $10 per person and will be added to your final bill. The service is nice the staff are very knowledgeable about the drinks. They also mocktails and vegan drinks,

Seriously one of the coolest spots you'll find for a cocktail. The low lights, wood paneling and leather seating have the best retro vibe you could ask for. A great spot for a date night or evening with friends. The staff is fantastic, and the drinks are seriously delicious. If you're not sure what to try, you should definitely ask the bartender. They'll help you pick something perfect. For an added perk, stop in before dinner for happy hour and get one of the super delicious happy hour options for a real deal! Next time I'll be trying the Pink Squirrel because apparently it was born from Milwaukee (I just over heard conversation so I'm not sure but I THINK they said at Bryants)

Absolutely love this place. Run exactly how a higher end cocktail bar should be run. Being in Bay View it seems like it's off the grid

Finally made it to At Random and its cool patio on a nice sunny afternoon! After checking out the list of appetizing boozy drinks to choose from, I went with the Pink Squirrel, vegan version. Most drinks are around $13-$15 each.

A friend from high school was visiting us and had never been to Milwaukee before but had heard of At Random and wanted to check it out. As always, we had a great time showing him the place! He immediately commented on how cool the vibes are inside and how it's actually much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. All three of us got different boozy ice cream drinks: my friend got the Snickers, my husband the Almond Joy, and I got the Strawberry Splurge. I ended up tasting all three and all of them were fantastic! The snickers tasted exactly like the candy bar, the strawberry was very fruity while also allowing the amaretto shine, and even though I've never had an almond joy candy bar, the shake was so good, it makes me want to try one! Each drink was $12 (they have recently started adding a $1 surcharge to each drink). Our waitress was very friendly and happy to answer all of our questions. The drinks do take a little longer to come since they make each one separately, but they are so worth it! They also have non ice cream and non-alcoholic options.

It is still here, it survived Covid!. It's Been in business since 1964. Ice cream drinks galore. Still dark candle light atmosphere. I think it is under new management. Bartenders and waitstaff a younger generation. Other than that the only thing that has changed is instead of Dean, Frank, and Sammy on the jukebox playing the rat pack song's of yesterday the songs have been updated to the 60,70's and 80's. But It is still the perfect place to go for that after dinner drink. A way to wrap up the evening weather it's a first date, anniversary, or birthday. You won't be disappointed. Service fast and efficient. Definitely

At Random is still the one of the best bars. I like the laid back backyard layout. I like the cocktails, too. Especially the ones with ice cream.

Our favorite date night spot! We've had both the classic cocktails as well as ice cream drinks and everything is phenomenal. The ambiance and overall vibe is unmatched. Sometimes service can be slow and we have had to wait for drinks for a while but all in all it is a must for any cocktail enthusiasts or tiki drink lover.

At Random is, in practically every way, my perfect bar. The lighting is low and flattering, the seating is comfortable, the music is pleasant and, most importantly, the drinks are AMAZING! There's everything from boozy milkshakes to classic martinis. It would be all too easy to get seriously toasted here due to the amazing variety. Our server knew the menu inside and out and gave us great recommendations, much needed when there were so many nice looking options. I don't live in Milwaukee but I would come back here in a heartbeat.

A great place for a boozy shake, especially in the warmer months! The outdoor area is so nice, but so is the inside! Indoors, there is red mood lighting and cozy booths. They have all kinds of shake options and you can make anything dairy free! The grasshopper is a must try! The service has been great both times we have been here. Such a fun local spot to enjoy! Alcohol free options for any kids and non drinkers as well!

Stopped by At Random to kick off my birthday weekend festivities and these lovely cocktails hit the spot!! I haven't been on the patio in quite sometime and let me tell you the vibes were SO GOOD! Love what they've done, the little order/pick up counter was so fun and cute. I ordered the frozen dole whip drink which made me feel like I was on a tropical vacation, 10/10 would recommend to a friend and have again before the summer ends. Hubby went with the mezcal margarita, and even though I'm not much into the smokey taste - it was delish! If you are looking for somewhere fun to go before Wisconsin winter is upon us, At Random is the total package!

At Random is a quintissential Milwaukee staple you need to bring all your summer visitors to try! Lately I find myself craving their delectable boozy ice cream drinks like.. daily.. But, really, what could be better night cap than a refreshing ice cream drink on a cozy patio!? My favorite part might be the little butter cookie on top If you've never been: I personally am a sucker for the classics. Brandy Alexander's are my jam! I've tried a fair amount of the menu and have yet to be disappointed, so you really can't go wrong with anything you order!

The service, atmosphere equaled a great night!!! I like that you know the liquor you are drinking and brand and the menu is sectioned with different choices.

This place is so fun! We all got a variety of drinks and everyone talked about how much they loved them. I had the dairy free peanut butter boozy milkshake and it was phenomenal & did not taste dairy free whatsoever! The staff working was also super kind and had great suggestions for us, which I appreciated! The patio is super cute and I loved the greenhouses you could sit in while enjoying drinks! Such a fun vibe with great drinks and a wonderful staff! 1000% recommend!

We've been to At Random many times, and are big fans of their classic cocktails and ice cream drinks. This was our first time visiting the Magic Forest Christmas Pop Up. Overall, we had a fun night. The decor, Christmas lights and holiday music really put us in the festive spirit! The heated huts themselves were simple, but cozy. We did have a bit of an issue ordering drinks. Inside our hut was a QR code and instructions to order. We placed a drink order, paid, received a text confirmation and waited about 25 minutes without our cocktails appearing. I had to leave the hut and go up to the order window to find out that their QR code system was down and they had not received our order. I wish they would have let us know this when we arrived for our reservation, or removed the QR code from inside the hut, instead of us waiting for drinks that were never going to appear. Once we ordered from the window, we did receive our drinks fairly quickly. But, it would have been nice to get some kind of compensation for the inconvenience and increased wait. Besides the order hiccup, we did have a good time and enjoyed the ambiance. We would be open to giving it another try as long as the communication and service are improved.

I visited At Random and their Magic Forest (in the patio) during the holidays and was completely impressed by the set up of their forest. They had a dozen or so heated igloos that can hold at least 5 people. It was very comfortable, but bringing a blanket would be a great idea still! They had a button to help signal the servers, which was really neat. However, it was almost unnecessary because the staff was so good. On a fairly busy night, they were very engaging with guests and on top of it. I will definitely be going back to At Random to visit and have a drink indoors to experience the red, dimmed-lit atmosphere.

Another great Christmas pop up! I've been to At random and thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic drinks, but this time instead of the low lit ambiance, I got to experience the Christmas patio lights from our private greenhouse. I got the classic grasshopper ice cream drink, and I'm still thinking about the creamy mint taste! It was delicious! They had a lot of fun Christmas drink options that were novel as well as some twists on their classic staples. Our server was attentive and checked on us the perfect amount, allowing us to enjoy the time in our greenhouse. The space heaters kept in nice and toasty, even though it was chilly outside. It was so nice to enjoy "outside" while being warm! A great addition to an already great place.

A spoonful of ice cream drink makes the lockdown go down. Called "ice cream social" over summer, as I understand it this place now has a "holiday" theme and heated patio enclosures. Pretty sure its reservation only though. When I stopped in a couple times over summer the menu included the iconic ice cream drinks (which can be made vegan a and non alcoholic) as well as your standard fancy cocktails and some other beer etc options. Drinks with ice cream were around $10 to 11 dollars with other options ranging a little above or below that price point. My personal vote was for the pink squirrel - its a signature ice cream drink with cherry almond flavoring. I also tried a Brazilian ice cream float (forgot the name) which was yummy but strong! Seating was at socially distanced picnic tables (as mentioned for winter its heated huts.) You picked up your drink and ordered at a window. Bathrooms are available inside. Pretty sure you can still pick up drinks to go to. This was a great diversion during these crazy pandemic times and I would highly recommend a reservation here for the holidays

This place is everything plus some. From the outside it's not much, on the inside it's the diner from the 50s you didn't know you missed so much, nor that you needed so dearly. Except here there's a catch: ice cream Sundays with booze inside. It can't get cooler than this. Inside & outside seating but if you're new in town, opt for inside. But please, no photos! It'll kill the vibe- they didn't have iphones in the 50s. They have a lot of specialty drinks, & they will hand you a binder to sift through (also why you want to sit inside, better experience!). They may have food? If they do, it's cheese curds. This place is not for large or loud crowds from what I could tell. It's for 1-2 drinks to get the night started, or end the night. It's a must-go if you're new in town.

This place is very quaint and vintage. If your looking for an intimate date night, this is the place to go!

My husband & I were staying in Bay View area of Milwaukee so we had to check out "At Random". We had the most awesome experience! :) When we first walked in the atmosphere was a very relaxing old school cocktail lounge vibes with orange redish hues everywhere. I was really impressed with the bartender who made our drinks. He clearly had alot of different skills as a bartender. My husband went with the Snickers and I went with the Peanut Cup Ice cream drinks!! Our drinks were soooooo delicious! My husband was raving lol how his drink tasted just like a snickers bar!!! Our drinks were so good we drank ours super fast and got a second round. The bartenders and service were really fast & efficient! We really enjoyed the retro vibes and a relaxing night there! What a hidden gem!!!!

It had been a long day going here, there, and not quite everywhere in Milwaukee. I was still conscious after having a mocha and catching my second wind. So I was game and receptive to having a cocktail after trudging in the snow. The MKE Yelper drives us to At Random. Easy peasy parking in this residential area. Welcoming bar staff. We opt to sit in the back to take in the Rat Pack mystique. The MKE Yelper was dismayed though that the change of ownership altered what he remembered this place as. I was surprised how watered down my Old Fashioned was.

Friendly atmosphere. Great drinks. Fun and quiet place to relax. It's a must stop if you want to be in an old fashioned relaxing place.

Such a cool place! My friend and I had a great time hanging out on their cute patio on a summer evening. The boozy ice cream drinks were delicious - we tried the Key Lime Pie and Grasshopper, and loved both!! I accidentally mis-ordered my drink originally (you order on your phone and they bring it out to you), and the server was kind enough to remake my drink for me with no extra charge, which I thought was so nice of her and completely did not expect. Will definitely be back!

My friends and I checked out At Random's patio, Ice Cream Social, one warm day recently. We didn't make reservations in advance, so we waited about 15-20 minutes for a picnic table. (This was prior to the installation of warming huts.) The drink menu is interesting and fun, focusing on the old school classics At Random is known for serving. You order at the outdoor bar and then your name is called when the drinks are ready. On our visit, drinks took quite a long time to come out. They were excellent, but super long in the making. With any luck and more experience, they've sped up by now. A fun, covid-safe place to visit.

I was excited to visit this place so I came here Wednesday night with my friend. We walked in and it is very dimly lit which is we personally think is a cool vibe / athmosphere. We were seated at the bar and and this is where it goes down hill. As soon as we sat down, we noticed there was a unpleasant smell. It smelled moldy / mildewish to me and my friend said it smelled like pee to her. We are not sure what it was but it never went away and anytime anyone would walk past us, the smell was more intense for a minute or so. The smell was so bad that even though we were there less than an hour, when I got home afterwards I put anything I had on into the wash immediately. There were 2 of us but yet we were only given 1 menu for both of us to look at. It made it take much longer for us to decide what we were going to get because 1 of us had to wait for the other one to finish reading the page we were on before going to the next one. Once we had decided on what we wanted, we closed the menu and once the bartender came over, we placed our order. We had to wait quite a while for our milkshakes to be made which we understood because it seemed busy in there (not at the bar but in the rest of the place). We got our milkshakes and immediately decided we would finish them and leave. I am not sure what happened but the grasshopper was not what a grasshopper should have tasted like and the mudslide my friend had was not made very well either. I don't plan on coming back. There are other places I can get boozy milkshakes that are made properly and not have an unpleasant smell in the restaurant.
