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!

    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.

    The safehouse was so much fun! We enjoyed being spies for the day! The drinks were exciting and the scavenger hunt was an interesting thing we could accomplish. The highlight was the magician, he was incredible! The food was kind of run-of-the-mill, nothing spectacular. We were also disappointed in trying to leave through the secret exit as it was not working. Would recommend for the experience and drinks though.

    Our server was nice, however our appetizers came with our meals when we asked for them as an app and our drinks arrived halfway through our meal after asking twice where they were. Fries were barely lukewarm. Ordered a club sandwich and only turkey was on the sandwich. The age of the restaurant shows and needs some sprucing up. It gives a "not so clean" vibe and takes away from the novelty that the Safehouse is known for.

    The expectation didn’t live up to the reality. Food was decent, but that wasn’t the draw for us - the unique experience was. Super fun premise, but I felt the staff didn’t do enough to orient us. They neglected to provide the riddles/clues/disguises when we were seated - so we didn’t really know what to do or where to go. We asked for guidance, and didn’t get it. We saw other people guided by staff through some of the features of the place - we basically felt ignored, frustrated, shortchanged. No desire to return. Escape Rooms are WAY more interesting.

    Good food and drinks. Service was OK. Took a little bit for our drinks to come and the server was confused on whether there was an issue with our food. We said no, we haven't gotten it yet. Food came out a couple minutes after that. 2 times 2 different food runners came to us asking if we had ordered additional things, we did not. We got the wrong check, no biggie, got the correct one but had 1 of the additional food items that we did not order added onto the bill. It was taken off. Not sure if it was just an "off" night or maybe the communication with the servers and kitchen was lacking, but the service was just OK.

    Thank you SafeHouse for allowing us the privilege to sit in the “spinning room”! I visit the restaurant every year with my family and that’s something we always wanted to do.

    Service a little “slow on the draw”. Cool hidden entrance area with secret statement needed to get in. Dark inside with done cool areas/artifacts. Stinky sewer smell however by the bathrooms was a turnoff. Food pretty good, we had the meatballs. Great to check out the first time as a unique experience.
