Offering refuge to spies national and international since 1966, SafeHouse is Milwaukee's best-kept secret. This iconic, hidden restaurant & bar is a blast for agents of all ages. Spies must find the red door and pass a fun clearance test if they do not know the password required for entry. Once behind the red door, spies will find authentic espionage artifacts, pop culture references, a disappearing booth, a secret exit, and more. Enjoy a fun night out in Milwaukee, or a covert daytime mission for the family at this kid-friendly, spy hideout. SafeHouse offers venue space for agents looking to celebrate special occasions, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and group events. Grab your fellow spies to enjoy award-winning cheese curds, solve recon duties, and learn about SafeHouse's history. Find the red door if you accept this mission, Agent!

Agent Nephew F knew the mission. Clearly an asset. Could be promoted to lead agent. I brought in spies from another agency out of state to the Safe House to prepare for a secret conference we're holding this fall. Safe House HQ was our first choice knowing the ambiance would be sure to impress. However, we were deceived and the evening fell flat. 1. No one was at the entrance to ask for a password - Likely due to government cuts, but I worry about espionage. 2. Burt was out of order. We tried being gentle and even a little rough, but alas, like many women, he wasn't in the mood and we were left unsatisfied. 3. Much of the areas were closed due to a "private event", however, if we didn't know the stealth of a ninja and their ability to remain unseen, one would think that the area was just closed off because it was a weekday. 3. The phone booth was out of order. Agent 86 didn't have the right shoes on and Dr. Who couldn't get it to work, so we had to exit out of the front door and risk blowing our cover. Clearly HQ in MKE needs a little TLC. Hope our next mission is more successful.

Great staff and fun atmosphere. Food was good pub style food. Drinks were good just inconsistent (had two of the same signature cocktails and they were different). Fun place though and the staff play into it, making it even more fun.

My date and I enjoyed dinner prior to attending the Simon & Garfunkel show. We had not been to the Safehouse in many years and enjoyed our mission just like in the old days! Service was great and we received our food in plenty of time to get to the show on time. I had the Brisket Bond MI and my date had the Tradecraft Tacos. Both dishes were tasty!

Everything was good. Service was awesome. Food was a bit expensive. The fish fry did not come with rye bread. Burgers were a bit on the small side.

Atmosphere and experience were great. Food and service were not. Food was bland and cold. Server took order, delivered food and delivered check. Did not come back to check on food, offer refills, or add to the experience in any way. Good to experience once but will not be returning unfortunately.

Food has really gone downhill. Nachos had a brown cheese sauce that was awful tasting. Quality of food is poor. Sad because the food and menu was 100 percent better in the past. Best French dip, fresh salads to name a few.

Had a great time with my family! It's a great experience with kids, especially keeping them engaged w/o screens. The food was ok. I wasn't expecting spectacular so I wasn't disappointed at all. Our Agent was fantastic and engaging the entire time.
