The Outsider is one of the best rooftop spots in Milwaukee. The cocktails were creative and well-made, and the staff was friendly and attentive even when the place was busy. The space itself is beautifully designed with plenty of seating, fire pits, and open-air areas that make it feel lively without being overcrowded.

Cool rooftop bar with an amazing view, excellent service, and craft cocktails. Bourbon selection is incredible, all the classics and some niche ones as well. Tequila selection is equally impressive.

On a recent short weekend trip to Milwaukee with my husband, we were staying at this Kimpton hotel and got to enjoy their wonderful rooftop bar, The Outsider.
We were actually given two complementary drink beverages from the hotel staff for a reservation mixup which was appreciated and we took advantage of.
It was a very cold Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of snow both on the ground and coming down. But the view could not be beat and the roaring fire definitely kept the covered patio space plenty warm.
Our server was extremely kind and attentive. We had eaten a big lunch so we did not partake in any food but both of the cocktails we ordered were delicious. I ordered a tiramisu-inspired coffee cocktail while my husband ordered a pumpkin inspired old-fashioned. The drinks were strong and one was plenty to enjoy before an evening out.

The Outsider was our choice due to the roof top option in a controlled environment. Only went in for an afternoon drink. Nice views, fire pits, and atmosphere. A bit loud for me. Sorry for the one picture of the area. I did not want to post an photos with customers in them. Overall the location and atmosphere were great. I would go back.

We had a great time celebrating my niece’s birthday! Had enough room for 30 people to sit comfortably and enjoy each other’s company. Excellent service. Delicious food!

This place was so cool. My friend picked the place so I had no clue what was in store and may o say, I was so pleasantly impressed. I absolutely love the different outdoor seating options. The vibe here is perfect. The drinks and service were great. We got the mezcal drink and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely coming again when I’m back in town!

I go to outsider for the atmosphere and vibes for sure. On a Friday/Saturday this place can be so fun with music, the fire pits, the views. The drinks are delicious, the bartenders put care into making them. The only time I would skip the Outsider is if there is an event going on at the hotel, then its usually pretty packed.
