About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
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!

    Meh - it was not a good experience. I haven't been to Safe House in several years and it has gone downhill. The server was slow and average (it wasn't even busy). The food was average and we ordered the same drinks twice and they were made very differently each time. I would not go back. With so many good restaurant choices in Milwaukee, this one should be very low on the list.

    When we arrived, they asked about the password, when we provided the one found on the website, they said there was something wrong with the password on the website. The kid at the front didn’t seem to care that much. Once we arrived, we were seated and nobody explained to us what we needed to do even though we explained we had never been there before. I ordered a salad, they said they were out of lettuce. Not many other healthy options, so I ate after we left. Overall the entire thing was very underwhelming. I would not recommend.

    Unique place - interesting but our meals 4/4 were TERRIBLE. Cold, tasteless, even very basic kids meals - would come as a museum experience but would NOT eat here again.

    It was a nostalgic experience for me. I had been there in the 90s and fun to see it again. Many of the things haven’t been updated. Our waitress was great, and the food was decent. Not outstanding but not bad. I knew we weren’t going for the food though so it met my expectations!

    We thought this was going to be a more adult's only, speak easy with craft cocktails and good food and great decor of a bygone era. It is more Kitchy, and Kid-focused, with mediocre food. The concept and decor was dated. However, service was excellent in spite of the campy verbiage needed to keep in the Spy Theme of the restaurant.
    SafeHouseResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We appreciate your kind words about our service — we’re glad your server made a positive impression despite the lively atmosphere. We understand that our playful, kid-friendly vibe and the Spy Theme might not be everyone’s ideal speakeasy experience, and we appreciate your perspective on the concept and decor. Happy Hour, and a new craft cocktail menu are in the works to enhance the adult experience! Your honest feedback about the food and ambiance helps us as we continue to evolve. We hope you might visit us again sometime to see how we keep refining the experience!
