This place is a classic. Just plain fun. And if you take someone for their birthday, then even more fun happens. Food is good too. Have fun at this SPY BAR. read more

I just went for dinner with two friends and we had a blast! The food was delicious and the atmosphere very entertaining! Besides a super rude magician it was an excellent night! read more

Such a fun place to go with the family. My daughter had a great time before our play! The food was good.

A friend selected Safehouse for a fun birthday dinner a few months back. We shared an order of nachos and meatballs. Both were fine, average bar food quality. I ordered the MOAB burger, which is topped with a pepper-smoked bacon, American cheese, and a fried egg. My burger was a bit dry and under-seasoned, and my egg was overcooked and looked like it was fried on a dirty flat-top or in dirty oil in a skillet...a very disappointing burger. Fries were fine. The birthday boy ordered the Fat Bastard dessert, which is a massive ice cream sundae with brownie bites, some chocolate cake, and a sparkler. The best thing I ate was a bite of fried haddock taco that the friend next to me ordered. The worst part of the evening was the birthday boy didn't want to stay for the best part of Safe House, which is the entertainment, so my disappointing dinner was the memory I left there with. The kitchen would benefit from an overhaul. read more

Wonderful night out with friends! Kudos to our wonderful server Agent Copper. Burger and Mac & cheese was great. Not bad drink prices, either. read more

Sat at the table for 20 min waiting for our server to make deserts for another time. Couldn't even take our drink order for the bar because she was too concerned about making desert. So we ended up walking out with ni service, no apology. Nothing. Do not recommend. read more

Wow this place is a lot! I went into this blind and when we entered through an red door in an ally I though I was going to get abducted. Lucky that wasn't true. They asked us for the password(is there a real password, if you know message me) but anyway we had to fight with lightsabers and then they let us in. I was also told we were on the tv in the restaurant and our friends who came earlier videoed us. It was a large group for my dad's birthday and we got a large table. The food isn't really the memerable part but it is a resturant. I ordered the burger and it was drum roll please, a normal burger, the food isn't bad they just choose to spend it all on theming. As a food lover it kinda disappointing me that this cool place didn't have better food. My brother got chicken and seemed to enjoy it. The food took a looooong to come so we walked around the resturant. There was a magician and it was ok. The place is cool but after a while you just want your food. PS: They got my dad some ice cream and the candle was huge. Best birthday dessert I have ever seen. read more

If you don't know the password, do what the person tells you to do. It's fun nothing weird or awkward (unless dancing like a crab or rabbit is weird). The place was super neat and great decor. Kids are welcome and have plenty to do including a magician and scavenger hunt with secret doors and such. Food and service were also great! Parking was a slight challenge and walked almost a block, but it's downtown on large city so it comes with the territory. read more

SafeHouse - Cool decor - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Food was ok the service was good just didnt get the experience i have been hearing about but over all my kids loved it

We only had drinks and they were well made. Bartender was awesome (Peter). We will go back!

The experience was great. Staff were all awesome. The food was just as k (but my salad was really good). My son had a burger and he liked it. Ordered nachos for an appetizer and we only took a bite. It wasn't good at all. And I wished they have used real avacados instead of the squeeze tube stuff. I think the food could use a revamp but if go again just for drinks and a salad read more

My wife and I brought our family of 7 to Milwaukee for two nights to explore the museums and other unique offerings of the city! We always look for kid-friendly options for dinners and we landed on SafeHouse for our second night out. The atmosphere is unique in that the tables are situated within a very unique spacing. We liked it, but I could see some families struggling with access as there are stairs everywhere. The food was below average as the clear focus is on setting and the mysteries that you and your kids can experience throughout your time. If it were just me and my wife, I'd give this a 2 or 3 star based on food and drink quality. But with kids and as a family place, this is a great offering! read more

The atmosphere was neat but unfortunately the food just wasn't good at all. I recommend going to have a drink and check out the interior. Skip the food. The fish tacos, pulled pork Mac and cheese, and cheese balls were all cold and flavorless. The magician was cool. read more

Worst experience I have had at a restaurant in quite some time. The music was playing so loud over head that we could barely hear what the staff was saying when it came to ordering. Waitress screwed up the order for one of our party members and then made it seem like the error was on our end. Brought out the wrong food and then argued that we ordered it and refused to take the wrong item off our bill at the end. Food was not good at all and we were never asked for refills on our drinks, instead we had to flag down the waitress multiple times. For spending almost $400 on our group dinner, it was a terrible experience in every aspect. read more

The fruit we were served was moldy and it was not taken off our check. Out of 6 diners, only 1 enjoyed their food (the salad). Extremely rubbery chicken, fish tacos less than mediocre, mac and cheese was so so bland aside from the one flavor of peppery-spicy, etc. We left with our plates still full yet our wallets very emptied. read more

The service was horrible, the manager absolutely refused to help us, there were several items on the menu that they were out of, and then all of a sudden they had them back on and we ordered them the second time, and then they were out again. The magician was supposed to arrive at 5, we left at 5:40, no magician. The food was beyond disgusting, we would've sent it back but we wanted to leave. I have been going to Safe House for over 15 years, and I will never go again. July 7th 3:30 PM to 5:40 please have a talk with that manager. PS, our female server was absolutely the worst. read more

Way too busy, mediocre food and an inconvenient, yet mandatory $3 entertainment fee added to all bills. Fun experience for one time and one time only. But definitely wont be back. read more

A fun time. Cute themed restaurant. We didn't know the password so we had to do the YMCA dance to get in. Excellent food. Went there with my sister and we split a Bay of Pigs mac & cheese and a Camp Stanley nachos with smoked chicken. We split had the Fat Bastard desserts which was incredible. Great service reasonable prices. read more

SafeHouse - Fat Bastard. Vanilla ice cream, chocolate & vanilla cakes, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream and a huge sparkler. - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We came to eat on a Friday at 5:00. We had a party of 5 and were told a 1 hour wait. We went to the bar for drinks, but ended up being sat within 20 minutes at a nice spot. The waiter was very friendly and nice. However the wait for food was terrible! We finally got the food around 7:15. It came out one by one, so some of us had food before the others. In total, from the first dish out, it took about 20 minutes for the 5th dish to come out. So our first diners finished eating before the last diner did, we wanted to wait but then the food would've been cold. On the other hand the food was DELICIOUS, we didn't take any photos because we were so hungry. We ordered the impossible burger, UN Burger, chicken sandwich, bacon mac and cheese, and a prime rib sandwich. Everyone loved their food. The menu drinks were not that great either. The spytini tasted like straight grey goose, it was gross. The Long Island flight was OK but incredibly sugary. One person couldn't finish it all because it made their stomach hurt so we all took one and felt weird afterwards. The mixed drinks that we ordered were good - brandy old fashioned & black Russian. read more

I LOVE the idea of this being a speakeasy spy themed restaurant! It's hidden in an alley and to enter you have to know a code or they request something else in order to grant access to the place. The decorations were amazing. They even hand you a spy check list that you can solve by walking around the whole building. They have so many different rooms and such unique things in them. As cool as the building was, the food wasn't anything special. I would come back and just order drinks next time and/or for the experience. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! Twist and turns everywhere! Our waiter Agent Too smoove smoove with a v or Octavio was the best! He guided us around the place and showed us the cool secrets. the food was absolutely amazing I loved the double cheeseburger and the drinks. As for the area itself it's like going around the world with Russia,Great Britian,China, and Germany. Everyone was super nice and was a lovely experience. read more

Wow- it's been a minute since I've been here. We grabbed a quick dinner here before going to the Rep. Service was fast and friendly- and kept to the theme calling us "spies"at each engagement .Food was decent. read more

After a 15 month hiatus, this Milwaukee legendary establishment is back and how!! Since their opening on Wednesday, each night they have been absolutely SLAMMED!! And the people who work there are thrilled to have everyone back. If you haven't been here, I will not spoil it for you but know that if you're going to safehouse, bring with yourself your sense of adventure and the willingness to go on a covert mission The food is very tasty, the all American collection of burgers is very well made. Their house parmesan chips and onion rings are very good sides. read more

The SafeHouse is a spy-themed cocktail bar and restaurant. Beware, if you don't know the password to get in, you're at the mercy of the person at the door. Be ready to dance, make silly noises, chant, and have it all streamed directly into the bar! It's a fun way to start out the visit for sure and adds to the whole secret hideout vibe. As we came as a walk-in, there were no tables available and we had to have a seat at the bar. We sat down at one end, and it took a while for one of the bartenders to notice or approach us. Another couple had come in around the same time as us and were seated a couple seats down and they were greeted after a very short wait. The bar was by no means jam-packed with people, I would say there were 6-7 people seated, including my boyfriend and I. When we were finally given menus, we decided which drinks we wanted and placed an order. The bartenders were nice, but they really did not seem to have a good handle on the menu. They made my boyfriend the wrong drink, so they offered to make him the correct one when he brought it up. Both of the bartenders were repeatedly checking the menus and comparing what was supposed to be in the cocktail to what was given and seemed very unsure. Even the remake of his cocktail didn't appear to be fully aligned with what was described on the menu, but it was closer to it and we didn't want to have to keep sending drinks back. We ordered food as well, and it was a good wait before we got it. We were actually seated right by the food window, and it looked like things were moving slowly. I could tell the person who appeared to be managing the waitstaff was getting frustrated with how slowly things were being sent out and how larger orders were coming out in bits and pieces so people in the same parties did not get their orders all at once. I'm not certain if it was due to lack of staffing or what, but it was definitely not keeping up with the pace of orders. We did finally get our food, and it was good. We ordered a rack of ribs. According to the menu, it would be served with fries or coleslaw. There was no coleslaw included and we were not informed that they were out. By that point, we were running well over the time we thought we'd be there and had a show we were going to go to afterward and figured it was best to leave things as they were so we could eat and still be able to leave with enough time to get to the event. One thing that bothered me a bit is that we were told that tables were all reserved for the evening and we would have to sit at the bar. We spent a decent amount of time there since we had to wait for the food for so long, and the tables in the bar area behind us were never filled. We also walked around the place a bit since we were waiting so long and we saw several other empty tables. It seemed like we could have gotten a table as the reservations must have either been booked for later times, or did not show up at all. I had attempted to make a reservation before we went, and there were no times available. I was expecting a very busy place with full tables, but that wasn't what I saw when we were there. Based on the experience, I wouldn't necessarily go back here. The ribs were good and the drinks were okay. Nothing was bad or poor quality. The service was slow and the staff seemed to be inexperienced. Everyone was nice enough, but I would not want to go back here again if I had something planned for a certain time after. It's a fun gimmick with the spy theme and there's even a scavenger hunt you can do around the restaurant - though we weren't informed of that until after we were waiting for quite a while and by then our food was finally almost out. This was all on a Tuesday evening, between about 6:00 and 7:30. I would recommend making a reservation if you'd like to come here to hopefully avoid some of the time spent waiting for service. read more

Sadly anti climatic - arrived at 9.15 was told kitchen was closed, this was not mentioned on their website. Interior was okay. Felt let down. read more

This was an absolutely awesome place to visit when I was in Milwaukee for work!! My friend suggested a few other restaurants and my reply was "if you can go to a spy themed restaurant WHY would you go anywhere else????? It was even more delightful then I expected. They leaned into the theme and I love that. I won't spoil the surprises here. Suffice it to say if you love a theme, you should come here! The food was decent, standard American fair. I had a burger and onion rings. But let's be real, you're not coming here because of the menu. read more

I finally found the entrance to this place. I just happened to say the correct password, and i was in. Once inside, I could see the agents looking at me, knowing that i could be a spy. I was quickly greeted and seated were i could be watched. Agent Green came over and gave me a menu or was it instructions? I looked over the information that he handed me. It was dark and I could not see all of the little messages that were embedded into the instructions. Agent Green was helpful and gave me some hints. I ordered the Fish and chips as he hinted. The order arrived and the secrets revealed. Tender, flaky, flavorful fish. Fried to a golden crust. My agent could see that I had other questions. He sent me upstairs to find the answers. Once i entered another room, i met Agent Sterling. He was a special agent with much information. We talked and divulged secrets to each other. He was a good guy and now he knows, so am I. I returned to find my table was still there, waiting for my return. I exited with a final payment due. I could not find the exit. I did not ask the correct question. Finally, outside, and all alone. I walked carefully to my car. I entered my car and started my engine. All was good in the world today. No one was hurt. Good luck to the next agents who enter. You will be amazed. read more

Been coming here for years and it's fun for the kids. But honestly, I'm over it. We had to wait a really long time for a table even though the place wasn't crowded. And for the price, the food is just not good. The kids menu hot dogs, which shouldn't be hard to screw up, were completely black. The fries were bland and luke warm. Clearly the place is not worried about serving good food; it's the ambiance that brings people. But that's getting pretty weak as well. The place is dingy and not in a good way. Menus and tables are sticky. The big moving wall doesn't work. The secret phone booth exit didn't even seem to work right. read more

Finding the door was the hard part. After that, it was a breeze. The ambiance was cool, detective, spy vibes and they made it happen. Our waiter hand delivered my drink when we were on a scavenger hunt. The burger we got was juicy and tasteful.

SafeHouse - More spy instructions - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Nope!!! I had my husband's birthday party there on a Saturday night and they said that they don't take reservations for large crowds unless we wanted to wait till 8 o'clock so we had everybody show up and had drinks at the bar and just hung out within that area when our tables stood unoccupied For two hours and then at 8 o'clock they sat us down. What the hell was the point of that some of our friends said it got too late for them to eat and they left then they charged us extra because we had eight people sitting at the table and then charge us an additional fee for entertainment. I would like to know what entertainment we were charged for because the staff was rude, they were annoyed with us because we were standing around because they wouldn't let us sit at the empty table which they ended up giving us anyway read more

We were lucky enough to run into a group that already knew the password! It is a bit hidden but once you see the door down the alley, it's easy enough to get too. There are other ways to get into the speakeasy without a password, but I can't spoil all the fun! It's waaayyyyy bigger than it looks, especially from the outside, and it felt like we just kept walking through all these rooms. Food is decent, drinks are decent, it's really the ambiance that makes it what it is. So, go get a few drinks while enjoying good company. read more

3 dollar entertainment fee. Wtf I love the place but hate hidden charges. Moab burger was great read more

Visited here recently with a party of 12 for a birthday party, and got the 2hr premium package. They put us up in a private room, and it was very unique, the whole place. They've really figured out the service and experience part of it. Drinks were good, but food was meh. Honestly though, you don't go to places like this for the food. You go for the vibe and the experience. The magic was probably the best part of the night. Very entertaining. read more

Fun spy-themed bar that also was the location for Major League shot its bar scene. Bartender gave us a scavenger hunt to look for certain items. One room has autographs of many of the notable names who have visited over the years. It is a bit hard to find but it should be or else it wouldn't be a covert location. read more

Service and location was great and the people were friendly. This bar/restaurant is right across the street from the Pabst Theater. Knock off of point is for the food. Had the blackened chicken chipotle sandwich. Never expected it to be served with such a thin, wet, drippy sauce that filled two plates. No place that wasn't coated with sauce to set the sandwich down after picking it up. I didn't want drips going down my shirt right before an evening at a concert. Mayo would have worked better. Overall it was a good place to eat before the concert. For those interested, they do have New Glarus Spotted Cow on tap. read more

A lot of sets to see. James Bond paraphernalia and much more. The drinks and food were good and the people were friendly.

Such a fun place - so many rooms to see - so many fun little areas to sit. They had magician behind the bar that was cool. It was defiantly a great experience. If your looking for a fun place to go with your coworkers during a work trip. This place is fun and remember to ask your friends for the password!! If they don't tell you then they truly like to watch you struggle! But that's part of the fun. read more

SafeHouse - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The SafeHouse made things right. After my previous review on our disappointing experience at the SafeHouse, management reached out to me to make things right - and they more than delivered on their promise. The staff threw my daughter a birthday party with 3 friends, in addition to myself, my husband and my son. Not only did they cover the large tab for the whole thing, but they threw in an awesome birthday dessert (highly recommend), a shirt for my daughter, the secret chair ride which made her feel incredibly special and some magic tricks, too. Most importantly, the staff was attentive, the food was PROMPT and HOT and DELICIOUS. We recommend the mission impossible burger & the mac and cheese. We also eyed up some nachos on the way out that we definitely want to try on our next visit. Not only did they make things right with us, but they rectified things with my parents as well (with whom we split the bill the first time). They credited their card for the first meal and offered to comp their next visit as well. It's inevitable when running a business that mistakes will be made, but what matters is how you respond. I can honestly say that the SafeHouse went above and beyond to correct their mistakes and show us what true Milwaukee hospitality is all about. The SafeHouse management are a class act and I am proud that they call Milwaukee home. Thank you. read more
