Rooftop Dining

European

Cafe Benelux

Inspired by the grand cafes of Lowland Europe, Cafe Benelux serves up European favorites like frites, mussels and waffles. A whole book is required to list the extensive selection of biers, but don’t be intimidated – all Benelux staff take “bier classes” and are happy to make recommendations. As if the menu wasn’t enough to make Benelux a top brunch spot, the rooftop patio certainly seals the deal. It’s the ideal place to take in some summer sun and enjoy one of the inventive Bloody Marys Milwaukee is known for.

Cocktails

The Outsider

Located on the roof of the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel in the stylish Historic Third Ward, The Outsider is a chic indoor/outdoor space with a one-of-a-kind view of the downtown skyline. Get cozy on cabana-style seating while you enjoy cleverly craft cocktails and bar bites, or order up wood-fired pizzas from Tre Rivali on the ground floor. On summer weekends, you just might find an afternoon barbecue or shuffleboard tournament in full swing, and fire pits will help keep the party going long after the sun goes down.
