The editorial take
The Randolph operates as a brewpub with a beverage program that extends well beyond house beer. Two distinct cocktail lists include ingredient-specified drinks like Castaway, El Pepino Fresco, and Amalfi Sunset, with rooftop cocktail service referenced as 'Sunset Skyline Cocktails.' The wine list covers sparkling, orange, rose, and red and white varietals and changes frequently. House-brewed beers span Mexican-style lager, NEIPA, fruited sour, and fruit-forward styles. Non-alcoholic options include beers, cocktails, and soda.
- What should I order?
- Start with a house-brewed Cheap Sunglasses Mexican-Style Lager, a 5% ABV lager described as crisp, light, and refreshing. For a mixed drink, the Castaway combines gin, ginger, lemon, honey, and cucumber, while El Pepino Fresco brings mezcal, St. Germain, lime, cucumber, and Peychaud's. Non-alcoholic drinkers can choose the No'jito with soda, lime, mint, and simple syrup.
- Who will enjoy this place?

- When should I go?

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
