Description

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 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 topof 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

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

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.
