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!

    Absolutely interesting and intriguing place. However, at the entrance we were not only asked a password, which was the part of the game i promised to our kids, but also not suggested to do funny spy things to get in. The door was open and lady told us just go…. I ordered a Cobb salad that came with no eggs, no bacon neither blue cheese crumbs…. just lettuce, chicken and….. absolutely dead cherry tomatoes. I am sure for $21 they could do better. Plates, especially one we had salads in (me and my friend) …so plates came in just disgusting- oily and stained both inside and outside. The service is very slow and our waiter constantly asked other waitress to take care of us. Overall… we cane to do a surprise for kids…. but the whole dinner was not exactly what we thought its going to be….. even though the place is very unique and interesting.

    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.
