Reviews


At present, there are 1344 ratings available from 7 website(s). The mean score for The Outsider is 4.3, implying that guests have a very high opinion of this restaurant. The Outsider, located on the 9th floor of the Journeyman Hotel by Kimpton, offers a fantastic view and a great rooftop vibe for its patrons. The drink and food options are good, although on the pricier side. The service can be a bit hit or miss due to staffing challenges, but standout servers like Corrine make the experience enjoyable and relaxing. The atmosphere is posh, perfect for catching up with friends and enjoying a nice drink while taking in the sunset. With a wide selection of quality spirits and talented bartenders, The Outsider is a picture-perfect location for grabbing a cocktail after a long work day. While prices may be a bit high, the experience and service make it worth the visit. The rooftop bar is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy amazing views, lovely staff, and delicious cocktail drinks right in the heart of the Historic Third Ward.

The Outsider is one of those places that you love to hang out for the evening! But if it's a nice day/evening be prepared to get there early or stand in

The drinks are very good Some of the best bartenders in Milwaukee The servers are overwhelmed, seem under staffed, and can be rude at times.
