Agent wags and agent 47 held it down. Friday night busy bar and they killed it. Great service, good conversation.

The experience is identical to being a spy. They have just about 1 million real spy signatures all over the walls. I ordered a turkey sub (no bacon), and to be honest, pretty mid sandwich. There wasn't anything special, but it didn't taste bad. So it doesn't loose a star. Just to get the negative stuff out the way, it was kinda small for how much stuff was everywhere. It was cool stuff, but A LOT of cool stuff, y'know? Besides that, the staff and games were amazing. The entrance and exit were also pretty good read more

My sister loves SafeHouse, so I was excited to finally check it out with her. The staff do a great job staying in character, which makes the experience fun, and the cave-like atmosphere and decor are really unique. The fries were great and the thunderballs were simple but tasty. The tacos were okay, just a bit heavy on the guacamole for my taste. Overall, it's a place to go more for the experience. read more

This is a bucket list place to go to. We were in Milwaukee for a football game. This is an old Speak Easy and you have to enter through a secret passage from the book store. Food was great and service was pretty good. The atmosphere is amazingly prohibition style decor. When you went to exit you went into a room and then you exited into the street on the other side of the establishment. Next trip to Milwaukee I will visit this place again !! read more

We were expecting this to be a fun speakeasy little did we know it was going to be playground for children at 9p.m. We showed for our reservation and there was nobody at the entrance. We are no dummies and figured out how to get in. When we checked in at the host desk we were told to wait as our table wasn't ready. The place was at 1/3 capacity at the maximum. We politely waited for 15 minutes while other groups came in a n d were promptly seated and were about to voice our unhappiness when we were seated. Our server Trinity was initially great and helpful. Since we weren't enjoying the table full of kids next to us we only had a single drink and left. However, getting our check leaving through the back entrance took nearly 20 minutes. We spent more time waiting at this place than we did enjoying it. It's a shame as friends had went years ago and said it was a blast, we felt otherwise. read more

We enjoyed a great visit at SafeHouse. We had a quick dinner before a show across the street at Pabst Theater. It was just what we needed. Our server was incredible. She was so sweet, funny and helpful. She made our experience even better. Our food was really good. We ordered several things and shared everything. The nachos were a real standout. The restaurant is famous for their spy theme. There are many rooms and a lot of fun to check out. We didn't have enough time to check it all out but will next time. And yes, Burt Reynolds is still in the bathroom... read more

SafeHouse - Fat Bastard - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Safehouse is a really awesome experience from the moment you enter. You really do feel like a spy. Once you're seated you receive a quest card where you are given clues to solve by searching throughout the restaurant. The spy theme decor is thruout the restaurant and is incredible. There is even a magician at the bar. Not only is the experience great but the food is as well. Went with Twists were Bavarian pretzel that are deep fried so it has a little crispy outside and pillowy inside. Honey mustard had nice flavor to it as well as the nacho cheese. Tator tots had nice crisp to them and weren't soggy at all. Onion rings also had a great crunch to them. Went with Moab 18 and it was delicious. Had great beef flavor, the patty was juicy and the egg and bacon added nice saltiness and creaminess. The bun was also soft with a nice buttered crust. Safehouse is a really unique and fun experience with well done America fare. It is a must try experience with great food. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is the best experience I've ever had at a bar in my entire life! I ordered several drinks including my go to cosmopolitan and a mojito. They both tasted incredible, and exactly the way I expected. My mom loved her margarita and my dad really enjoyed his rum and coke. Every single bartender was friendly and my parents and I had a blast trying to solve the riddle and get the password. My favourite was the magician, it was so fascinating to watch him do tricks. I could have honestly spent hours at that small part of the bar alone but there was so much more to explore. I adored that every room had a fun theme and there was so much to see! I was so captivated by the intricate decor and all the fun details it was hard to focus on solving the mystery. I would definitely come back to Milwaukee just to spend a day here staring at the wall that changes back and forth just to figure out the mystery. To this day I have no idea what it is!! read more

What a really fun experience! Visited for my bday. Didn't know the password so we got a hint. Couldn't get it. We did a little embarrassing dance. Got in. It was fun and cute. The place itself has great old world ambience and it's huge. So many nooks and crannies and different spaces. Lots of cool real artifacts as well as fun signs and clever art. Had a scavenger hunt which was challenging enough yet still easy to figure out and a great activity. There was even a magician doing some good tricks. The service was fast and no pressure to buy food or more than one drink each. Loved the enclosed table themed areas. Seemed really cool and intimate. Just a perfect mix when we considered a museum or a bar or something unique and this fit the bill for everything. Drinks were really tasty too. Would definitely go back! read more

What an amazingly fun restaurant!! Upon entering we had to either have a password or do something fun to get in... I'm sure it's different for all. We make it to the actual restaurant that was filled with different spy missions to solve while waiting for our food!! The staff was friendly and quick with refills on drinks! The whole restaurant was just awesome! We had a private booth that felt like we were in big trouble in little China!! So worth the money! Foods a little on the pricey side but so delicious!! They also had a magician doing magic tricks!! It was just the best date we have had in a while! Do yourself and favor and make the trip you won't be disappointed!! read more

The concept of this restaurant is fun and a great idea but the food is not good! We ordered the meatballs, chicken sandwich, and a burger....everything tasted like it had been frozen, nothing fresh. I would not recommend. read more

SafeHouse is great for a time and a place, but you can definitely find better food, drink, and service elsewhere. It is spy themed and the gimmicks start before you even walk in the door. The entrance can be hard to find, and once you're inside you'll need to know the secret password. If not, you'll have to do something like jump up and down or do the chicken dance. Inside there are both kid and adult spy games you can play as you wait for your food. I didn't like it much when I went with a group of adults, but when I took my nephews we had a blast. They loved all the hidden nooks and crannies and moving objects throughout. Menu is a little pricey with food that is not the greatest. But if you are looking for a spy themed bar, this is the spot! read more

What an adventure SafeHouse offers, it's like an escape room meets a James Bond movie meets a 1920s speakeasy prohibition bar. The perfect spot for a date night or a friends' night out. You'll need a password to get in or like us be willing to complete a silly task from the doorman to earn your way inside. Once through the door, you're sent on a scavenger-hunt-style mission with clues that are trickier than they first seem. Be sure to grab one of their classified cocktails (I really loved the Fig File) before or after exploring, and really soak it all in. The staff is a blast, and the whole place is a one-of-a-kind experience you won't forget. read more

Everything about the SafeHouse for me was a big hit... When I went there it was the very first time I was there...I had a wonderful experience from walking in to leaving... I would highly recommend this establishment to my family and friends... read more

We didn't make reservations and tried to go during the day. Once we entered the red door we met the host and he asked for password. I didn't have one so the host asked us to hop on 1 leg in circles. Then the host told us to pull down the lever and the wall opened. Down the hallway is another door to the restaurant. The host and server referred everyone as agents or spies. Different dining rooms with different themes. We were still full from earlier but decided on cocktails and appetizers. We had to order cheese curds since we were in Wisconsin. Afterwards my cousin decided to do the scavenger hunt, the list that came with the menu. Family friendly restaurant and kids were also doing the scavenger hunt to look for the secret rooms. read more

10/10 experience and fun vibe. We especially enjoyed the spy theme and entrance challenge( sorry will not give away the secret passcode :) ) the menu had lots of options for food and drinks. However, we were all disappointed the Mac and cheese. It was soupy and lacked flavor. Despite this, we will be back for the drinks and the fun atmosphere and games! Family friendly. read more

Glad to see that the Safehouse is still serving yummy food and fun! I was there in 1978 while I was on a day trip from the University of Wisconsin-Madison! The service was great and the ambiance was fantastic! It's one of America's few remaining speakeasy's. Definitely worth the visit if you are in Milwaukee! Even worth the drive from Chicago! read more

Fun place with creative themed rooms. The food is pretty good and staff as hospitable. I recommend this place for a nice date or group outing, you will have a mystical time. Make sure you know the password once you get into the lobby, lol. read more

If you're in town looking for a safehouse, you've found it (after proving you're not a double agent, of course). We arrived early to our party of five reservations and they were able to seat us quickly. The staff was very friendly (shoutout Agent Solar!). Very gimmicky restaurant, family friendly atmosphere. Good food- portions can easily be finished in one sitting. Might be back soon so my boyfriend can try their food challenge! read more

So. Much. Fun! We loved the ambiance, decoration, and menu selection at SafeHouse. This was a great place to go on a Saturday night for after dinner drinks. But, we also had some cheese curds and they were excellent! I found the lighting and music level right on point and the server was so nice. We stumbled upon a magic show at a second bar (I'm sure this place isn't as big as I thought it was) on our way out and enjoyed watching everyone be amazed and let us peek at the tricks being performed. I would highly recommend coming here with some friends for a unique experience. read more

Ok the concept and ambiance here is amazing this place is one of a kind service was great the restaurant is great the cheese curds are some of the best I've ever had the down part is the actual food the menu is kinda small and what they do have i wasn't a big fan of but a great place for a beer and a app in my opinion read more

My family and I went here last night for a family fun adventure. We ordered the cheese curds to share which were good. Given other people's reviews I simply ordered a salad. My kids ordered a Mac & Cheese and the other ordered a burger with fries. He also ordered an extra side of tater tots. My husband ordered the club sandwich. The food was just ok. The staff was not very good. They took a long time to take our order and didn't come around for water refills. We walked up to the bar to get more water. We never got silverware so we had to take them from another table. We had leftovers from our meals but they didn't have proper to go boxes so they gave us 2 foil bowls to flip over one of them to cover the food. However, they didn't clasp or stay closed. The best thing about the Safehouse was the experience, the scavenger hunt, and the magician was the highlight. My recommendation is to come here for the experience. Maybe just order drinks, lite bites, or dessert. But save your money on a full meal. read more

SafeHouse is a must see drinking destination if you are staying in Milwaukee. We had such an amazing time exploring all the nooks and crannies in this hidden bar. There is a lot of magic everywhere from the floors to the exit. From double mirrors to hidden activations, this is the place to be for a fun night out. Make sure to know the secret password. The good vibes were flowing. read more

SafeHouse - Fun time with the Gang - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I was here not too long ago for the first time to meet some friends one evening. I admit I had to call them to verify the entrance. They good me good intel on the location. Mind you, the entrance is unmarked on an alley. If you're like me and need to make sure you're in the right place especially at night when you're driving around looking for parking, feel free to call like I did. This is a unique experience if you've never been! Once you enter, you'll be greeted in a small lobby and will need to supply the password. I didn't know the password and was required to pass a small "test" to enter the restaurant. No worries, the test is easy. From there, you'll enter the restaurant through a secret entrance. And then, I found my group. I won't spoil some of the surprises for you - as there is more to the entrance here. We ended up ordering the nachos appetizer and the cheese curds and then I got a salad. I ordered the martini which comes flying through pipes above your head (I'm not kidding) and lands in a cup. You'll need a heads-up when your drink is on the way. You'll want to spend some time walking around the restaurant and taking in the spy memorabiilia - really fun spy gear, posters, information, etc. There are nooks and crannies, turns and corners, so it's not your usual "square" of a dining room. While walking around, we even were entertained by an excellent magician doing card tricks at another bar in the restaurant. I was so busy with my guests I didn't get photos of most of our food, but a couple are below. The food was good, but the real fun is the place itself. It's a special place unique to Milwaukee. read more

SafeHouse - Each corner and each wall has interesting spy memorabilia and history - The image shows a brick wall with a sign pointing left to a CIA cover phone, featuring a red arrow and text. Above, there is a framed newspaper titled 'The Journal' with a 'Top Secret' stamp. Below the sign, a framed picture of a man in a tuxedo is displayed, with symbols and a fan-shaped graphic beneath. The setting appears to be an interior space with vintage decor and themed elements. - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This bar is more for experience than food. I was here for a work event and forgot to take food pictures due to hunting the password. Upon entry, you have to know the password or they will make you do a silly thing. There are multiple TVs in the pub, you can see people's silly performance, which is entertaining. After entry, you will see tons of clues of the password on the wall. The waiter/waitress will give you the clues how to play the game. The food is not bad at all. Ambience: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Price:5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

Amazing food and drinks! Service is friendly but a bit slow. Such a cool concept of entering the restaurant! Will definitely come back.

This place is so interesting and fun! You can do a scavenger hunt to see all the different rooms and decor. The menu is large and the food is actually very good. AMAZING magic show. The magician is in a small area so it can be a pretty private experience. Or others walking by may stop to by to watch as well. Great place to take visitors, the experience is so worth it! read more

It could have been one of the most clever and entertaining spots in Milwaukee...but falls short. The vibe is mysterious; with cool dark booths and a spy themed menu, theres an overwhelming amount of CIA and spy swag on the walls. You enter the restaurant through an innocuous storefront and must follow the instructions to enter. The best part: a secret booth that spins on a rotating platform into the adjacent pub next door. However, the overall vibe is "pre-teen birthday party" during the afternoon. There's literally kids at half the tables. This takes the spooky spy vibe down several notches. I'd like to try this spot again during the late evening to see if the mood changes. Food: 3/5. Most of the food is fried and over salted. It's ideal for soaking up some beer or if you are a teenager with a high metabolism. Drinks: 2/5. Super sweet and syrupy cocktails and some decent local beers. The prices are not cheap, and the drinks are not subtle. Vibe: 3/5. the menu and theme is Cold War spy vs spy, and I liked it...but there are a lot of kids there too. The treasure hunt around the restaurant is informational but also leads to a lot of kids and families wandering around your table. Service: 3/5. Our server wasn't the friendliest, and didn't seem pleased that we only ordered 2 apps and 2 drinks. She also seemed a bit overwhelmed by the amount of tables she had, so maybe it was a short staffed day. read more

SafeHouse - Inside SafeHouse amazing autographs and so many secret rooms! - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I had been here once, maybe 30 years ago. I didn't remember a lot about it, but what I remembered seemed a little different from what it used to be to what it is now. Without giving away the entrance to the restaurant, I feel like it's changed since my last visit. Not bad, just different. It was still super fun and we had a good laugh about it. Once inside, we were met with friendly service all the way. Our server was a really nice young man. Very friendly and attentive enough. We chatted about us visiting Milwaukee from Southern California, and he was asking about what LA is like. Nice kid. He quickly brought drinks and took our order. We ordered cheese curds to start, then a salad for her and club sandwich for me. While we waited, we looked around the German room that we were seated in. So much to see! Our food came quickly. The cheese curds were so good. Honestly we could have just stopped there. The salad she got was huge, and good - not great. The club sandwich was ... not good. Amazingly, there was no bacon on it, the avocado spread looked kind of brown, like it had been out for a while, and the whole sandwich just looked half assed thrown together. The fries were fine. After finishing, I asked for our check, the friendly server quickly took my payment, and then we had time to do the scavenger hunt before returning to the hotel. Overall, the atmosphere was great, the people were really nice, and the food was middling. Don't go to fill up, but do go for the experience. read more

This bar is so much fun!! Anyone who comes to Milwaukee needs to come here. We had a great time!

Just a fun place to come check out if it's your first time in Milwaukee like it was for me. I really enjoyed this spot and while the food ended up being a bit of mixed bag, the first drink I had was really good and had me tipsy while I played spy games. You can probably find out from all the other reviews but hopefully they don't ruin the surprise of what this place is like. On the food side, my meatballs came out kinda cold, my tots still had a bit of grease in them and the taco plate gave a lot to eat but just tasted okay. The covert ops cocktail was really good though. Go at least once. read more

This was a really cool experience! After you enter through the secret passage, there are a ton of cool rooms and seating areas. The staff is in character, making you feel like a spy the whole time. They also had a fun scavenger hunt that you can do throughout the evening which makes it easy to check out the whole restaurant. The food was decent, but definitely more of the experience that gives it the higher rating. I recommend this place for a fun night, but not for a super high quality dining experience. read more

This is a cool experience, especially for kids. They have some really cool tricks and puzzles to solve. Loved the phone booth exit option. Some of the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Unfortunately, our server didn't really seem to care about the rich history of this place or the food. The fries were great, served hot and lightly salted. The mission impossible burger was dry and pretty terrible. Looked to be a a typical Sysco burger topped with lackluster toppings that don't really "fancy it up". The walls are adorned with spy themed memorabilia, as well as military and puzzle pieces. Really cool atmosphere and if you get the right server (one had been there 10 years) they are a delight to talk to about the place. read more

What a cool place to eat and have a good cocktail. The host and wait staff were awesome. When you and your guest first entered you're greeted as spies. Our hostess was agent Wick. She was so cool. The menu is full of sandwiches, burgers, Mac & cheese salads and of course cheese curds, with spy names. Reading the menu will either make you laugh or put a smile on your face. The food is really good. There is so much to look at on the walls. I would definitely come back again to eat and participate in the scavenger hunt. Thumbs up for a great date night ( single or married), family day, girls out and couple outing. read more

Amazing spot for all ages. Food was great, definitely recommend the pulled pork sandwich and the cheese curds. Service was great, all staff were very kind and accommodating.

I especially recommend the magician, i'm not sure if it's always the same person but he was very kind and left everyone impressed. The decorations and attractions are so fun. Definitely worth it to visit! Fun from the moment you step in. read more
