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!

The service was excellent! We ordered cheese curds as an app, and they were the best I have ever had. I ordered the Mr. Stamper Club with parmesan ranch kettle chips as my meal. The sandwich was fine, but the chips were way too salty. I only ate a few. I am pretty sure they came out of a bag, which was a disappointment. My husband and son each ordered a burger and fries, which were fine. The atmosphere is always fun at the SafeHouse. It has a lot of really cool things to look at and enjoy.

Food is not good (very over priced for what you get); service is decent. I got the turkey club sandwich and the turkey was very questionable looking.

Our first time at The Safehouse and it was fun even though we didn't roam around since we had a show to get to. Getting our first drinks was a little slow, but food and follow up drinks not so much. Will probably go again.

Fun decor and concept, but overall looking and feeling pretty worn down. The food was subpar, and could use an upgrade. They seemed potentially short-staffed, so service was a little more stretched (i.e. water not refilled, server having to bus the table). We were dining as a group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids), so we weren't expecting anything overly fancy, but had hoped it would be a little more engaging and with such a simple menu that the food would have been a bit better.
