Was Whit Ne at The Outsider a mag?
Our evening at The Outsider started off a bit slow, as we waited 40 minutes without a server, but then the wonderful Corrine came to our rescue! She mentioned we should have had a server, but happily took care of us herself. After that, everything was perfect! We enjoyed plenty of food and drinks, and Corrine was quick and attentive throughout. She made our experience both enjoyable and relaxing. The cozy fireplace,... View all feedback.

What Милојица Ломић dislikes about The Outsider:
The Outsider (on the 9th floor of the Journeyman Hotel by Kimpton) has a *fantastic* view and a good rooftop vibe. The drink and food options were good, albeit pricey. There were two bartenders (maybe 3) and a host, but there were no servers that evening, so we had to go to the bar to order. Staffing is a challenge everywhere, so one can't be too tough on the item. Service from the bartenders was friendly enough and... View all feedback.

3/19/22 Sarah was wonderful. We even had beautiful flowers in our drinks. My guest loved it. It wasn't crowded and the atmosphere was awesome. Great roof too lounge. 4 star because there wasn't a DJ. The steak tacos are yummy. I would return.

The Outsider bar is a beautiful rooftop bar in the brand new Kimpton Journeyman hotel. We visited during Summerfest weekend so it was very busy. There are two bars, one indoors and one outdoors. There are lots of seating areas and the cool thing about sitting outside is there are fire pits. There are lots of entrances so you don't feel bottlenecked except for the elevator lobby. I was especially impressed with the bartenders because they were very busy but they were on top of their orders. Beautiful hotel, very fun rooftop bar. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the bars, It was my birthday and I was a lot of drinks in LOL

This is a posh place to get away from the hustle and bustle and feel like you are on top of the world (or at least the top of MKE). Perfect for catching up with friends and having a nice drink. Enjoy the sunset while you are at it!

Nice lounge, we went on a Saturday, wasn?t too packed. The three drinks we tried were the Sangria, Bees Knees, and Espresso Martini; good content of spirits, flavours were a bit lacking. We also ordered the Lil? Mac Sliders and Truffle Fries, both wereaverage. The experience with friends was great, rooftop lounge a necessary attraction, overall a good place to go.

The Outsider on the 9th floor of the Journeyman Hotel is a picture perfect location for grabbing a cocktail and meeting people after a long work day. Their staff is phenomenal and second to Their staff is phenomenal and second to none. I was sitting atthe bar the other night the bartender Laura, assisted me with picking out a wonderful Japanese whiskey, which I prefer. Herconversation was very intriguing and she gave great service with a smile. I will definitely be going back to visit as many ofthe other bartenders and staff members were just as welcoming
