Featured on the hit TV show Shark Tank, The Yard Milkshake Bar in Fairhope, Alabama is anything but ordinary. Featuring over-the-top ice cream sundaes and milkshake creations, this local ice cream shop is sought out by locals and visitors for its one of a kind appeal. Choose from over a dozen and a half specialty selections or dream up your own creation with over two dozen ice cream flavors to choose from, traditional toppings galore, and an assortment of specialty toppings including the not so standard glazed doughnut, cupcake, cheesecake, mermaid tale, cotton candy cloud, or great white shark, to name a few. If your not in the mood for ice cream, try a scoop of edible cookie dough complete with fun mix-ins that are sure to please.

For those celebrating another year older, try the “Birthday Cake” specialty sundae featuring birthday batter ice cream with a heavy dose of sprinkles, whipped cream, and a cupcake on top because here you can have your cake and eat it too. Traditionalists will appreciate the “Old School Banana Split” complete with strawberry and banana pudding ice cream, bananas, nuts, whipped cream, and of course, a cherry on top. Chocolate lovers will be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but you can’t go wrong getting “Chocolate Wasted” on hazelnut ice cream, marshmallows, and chocolate sauce. And for good measure, there’s a blondie on top.

Kids will especially appreciate the fun and colorful ice cream sundaes and milkshakes like the “Cookie Monster” composed of cookie monster ice cream and covered in whipped cream, cookie crisps, and marshmallow cream drizzle. Dazzle your sea loving children with “The Mermaid,” featuring birthday cake ice cream inside a teal marshmallow dipped jar and topped with everything your little mermaid will appreciate like pink marshmallow cream, mermaid candy jewels, a rock candy stick, and topped with the crowning jewel, a white chocolate mermaid tail. Add a little magic to your day with “The Unicorn,” consisting of everything needed to make a day extra fun such as cotton candy ice cream, loads of sprinkles, rainbow whipped cream, cotton candy, sour rainbow candy, and a dipped cone unicorn horn.

Gluten free specialty milkshake options are available and include “The Cereal Killer” and “Monkey Meets the Moose”. If you are in the mood for something else, make your own with one of the many gluten free ice cream flavors available including butter pecan, cappuccino crunch, chocolate, chocolate chunk, coconut chocolate almond, cotton candy, green mint chip, mango ice cream, NSA moosetracks, peanut butter cup, praline pecan, rainbow sherbet, raspberry sorbet, salty caramel truffle, strawberry, and vanilla.

When looking for a vegan or lactose friendly ice cream sundae specialty, The Yard Milkshake Bar has you covered with “Not Milk?” created with chocolate chunk oatmeal vegan ice cream mixed with chocolate soy milk and topped with vegan whipped cream and a vegan chocolate chip cookie.

Fairhoper’s Favorite – At The Yard Milkshake Bar these specialty sundaes and milkshakes are definitely big enough to share! While we have enjoyed every ice cream sundae that we’ve tried, to really get the most out of your first visit, we think the best sundaes include something extra special on top.
