Went to the Safe house for date night and unexpectedly had to take our 20month old. She wasn't sick, just fussy about staying behind with Great Aunt and older siblings. The Safe House was very accommodating and provided a highchair for us in the magic bar. My husband and I heard Kevin Casper would be there and having seen his performance at the Safe House a few months before, we headed back over to be magically enthralled. Kevin Casper was very nice and funny, made deliciously great drinks and had us engaged in his magic. I was also impressed that of the both times I went to watch him, none of his magic was repeated. Each time we went, we saw new magic, fresh magic, never been seen magic. He provided us with funny entertainment, easy laughter, and magical conversations. We will definitely be going to the Safe House again to see Kevin Casper! The food wasn't too bad either. ;) read more

What a fun experience while celebrating a 60th birthday. Staff was wonderful. Agent Zena did a great job accommodating our group. The food was really good. I will definitely recommend to friends and family and plan to go back. read more

The food was great and priced very affordable. Agent Smalls stayed in character and made us feel like actual spies. It's a splendid place to go for a great meal and experience. We loved the spin booth and Agent Unicorn was lit! read more

This place is a lot of fun at night!. Agents Gypsy, Cupcake, and Mam are the best!

This was my first speak easy and I had so much fun! The host when you walk in was so much fun and stayed in character the whole time. Every room was unique and filled with surprises! read more

Oh my gosh this place is the best place togo with a whole bunch of your friends! Especially when one or two of them forgets the passwordyes even if it is you. The ability that everyone watches you make a fool of your selfand that you are not the only one makes it just all that more fun! Once you get in there watch out there are so many things to do hidden rooms and such forth the fun never ends go on go check it out you won.t regret it! read more

I had a great time! Agent afradisiac and agent 00 fox gave us an experience of a life time!The food is amazing, the service is awesome and such a cool atmosphere. I can't wait to come back again. A must try you'll always come back again after the first time! Aka agent archer read more

It's a fun and interesting experience but the food could be a lot better for the price

Went there for while with a Bridal shower and it was Da Bomb! Great place, Great fun, getting in the door was hysterical, especially for our bride to be :) I would recommend it to anyone as the spot to check out while in town. On the night we went the kitchen was closed so I couldn't give it 5 stars; however, over all it was fun nonetheless. read more

As a secret agent, there is no place better to hide out and unite with all the other agents for a fun filled location to eat and drink. It is truly a museum. The menu, drinks and incredible service make this an iconic location to take out of town guests for a memorable night. Just make sure you know the password to get inside, or your gonna be exposed on closed circuit TV to the whole restaurant to do tasks and whatnot in order to get in at the entrance, but then .... your covers blown! read more

Had a great time last night with my girls friend. It's a fun place to find and get into. The staff is always very friendly and never make you feel like ur not attended too. We have been there several times and we are still finding new hidden things throughout the safehouse. We will be back! Thanks safehouse staff for a fun evening out! read more

After planning a day filled with surprises for a friends 30th birthday, Safehouse Milwaukee was our pick for the evening as we all had never experienced this hidden "gem" in Milwaukee. The wait given to us was an hour which allowed us to get a few drinks before we supposedly thought we would be seated (group of five). After an hour and 40 minutes we still had not been seated and management could not clearly explain why unopened tables were not seated with angry costumers (more tables were open than seated guests). Management explained that their priority was getting a banquet ready and then they would focus on tables. Our group decided to leave and over an hour later we got notice that our table was ready at the safehouse (over three hours!) I, along with my party was very disappointed in the experience and will not be returning to the Safehouse. read more

Agent Flamingo was awesome!! We had no idea what this place was but the experience is like none other.

I've come to Milwaukee for years and love this place from the atmosphere to the whole experience. Tonight the service was horrible and unwelcoming. Came from Chicago excited to bring friends to this place for attitude from "Jack Pot" the miserable bar wench. 2 stars for the venue only. read more

SO much better than it used to be. It still has the same old charm and spy-tastic decor, but the menu has been upgraded significantly (and streamlined in a good way). While two sandwiches and two beers didn't quite feel like a $50 dinner, it's a worthwhile stop when you factor in the additional value of good service and entertainment. I've visited a few times since the management changed, and on my most recent visit, the level of service was noticeably better. It was never bad, but now the servers and staff are much more interactive -- whether you're in a larger group with kids or just two adults on an evening out. They were tasking "agents" with "missions" in and around the restaurant, which just adds to the ambiance in a fun way. The food was hot and delivered pretty quickly -- based on conversations around us, they seem accustomed to being in the theater area and meeting show schedules. All in all, a good experience and a place I now look forward to visiting. read more

Great place to eat and lots of fun. I hope you know the password! Fun restaurant to explore and fun place to eat. This place made my anniversary with my boyfriend amazing. Somewhat expensive but the experience makes it ok. read more

The atmosphere was very cool. Had a great time. The food was not good.

I like this place a lot, but the last time we went, things didn't go so well. As a bon voyage to my partners sister, we took her on a full walking tour of the Third Ward and around downtown. Deciding we needed dessert, we decided to see if they had anything, as we had all been there before and loved it. We didn't even get to ask. The moment we were through the door, the hostess informed us that given it was after hours, anyone under the age of 21 had to be accompanied by an adult over-age, and then only after she was informed at both myself and my partner were over the age of 21 did she back pedal and state that it had to be a PARENT. She was very rude about the whole situation and showed us the door out with what I sensed as a discernible sniff towards us. I had hoped to have my birthday dinner there with some friends, but the attitude of that hostess has pretty much cost the Safehouse a customer. As interesting as the place is, I probably won't be going back, which is a shame because the food was great. read more

Wednesday June 6th around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the bartender gives me the jacket off his back! My girlfriend and I have been in the bar biz for a long time, and this guy deserves a medal. I just asked him where I could buy a light jacket for the ball game that evening and brings me one to borrow, and ask me to bring it back after the game. Awesome dude! Also next to us was a guy first time in Milwaukee, wanted to know where the fonzy statue was. Bartender takes him out back, and takes his picture with the statue. The safe house is lucky to have this gentleman. Cool bar too! Chicago bar manager, Jason read more

Was here a few years ago. Only come to Milwaukee every couple years. Wish someone had remembered the password but we had fun singing ring around the rosie to get in. Still amazes me that a restaurant can be that busy, but was a sat night, with no giant sign outside. Well this visit was as good as the last. Got a dip, 'Crafty' something. Had spinach and artichoke and I think hummus. Really really good. Came with warm pita bread. Dinner was those ribs I heard about from friends,,,,Soviet Defector. Fall off the bone tender and delicious. Could go for some more right now. I don't drink alcohol but the people at the bar looked like they were having a good time. I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

The concept of this bar is a lot of fun, but as others have mentioned, they don't seem to have changed anything since I was first here in the nineties. It's definitely a place to check out at least once though. The food was a real disappointment. ! I think my friend described it best as "cafeteria food". The bottom line: go once with a group of friends for the experience, but don't go on an empty stomach. read more

I know this Agent loves going to the Safe House, every time is such blast and it never gets old!! If you haven't been there in the past year, you need to go back now and check it out. So many new things including the tasty new menu, now it's even harder to choose what I want to eat because its all soooo good!!!! :) The tour is now my favorite part of the experience!! What other restaurant can you go to and find such cool and interesting articles and history.. My family and I love going there!! read more

Loved this place and I will certainly go back the next time I'm in Milwaukee. I'm not sure what all the "bad food" comments are all about. I was satisified with my burger. My friends were satisified with their steaks. The appitizers were really good. But definately the aptmosphere was what will bring me back. I loved the place. read more

The safehouse... I don't know what I am allowed to say except that my Father used to go in the 70's and I personally have waited 10 adult years to get to Milwaukee and see it for myself. I was not dissapointed. From the secret entrance ( Dad gave me the password) to the hidden exit (which I thought was a lavatory...) I was impressed. I went at 11:30pm on a Friday night and the crowd was good. The specialty drinks weren't as expensive as rumored and standard alcohol was standard price. Supercool place! Worth going just for the spy decor, but full of neat surprises too! The lady (long haired brunette) at the Magic bar was unfriendly and should be fired, spy or no spy. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. read more

Fun place. Lots of little surprises. That's really what sells the place. Food was done well (usually I ask for med. Rare and it's over cooked) but it was cooked and seasoned well. Best part is watching the people who don't know the password try to enter on the CCTV. Lol! read more

The food isn't out of this world, but it's worth the 4 stars because of the experience my out of town friends and fam get when I take them here. read more

Best bar I've visited. Great atmosphere. You must go when Kevin is working he is the best magician that I have seen. He will keep you laughing and keep you guessing. read more

I sat at the bar because I did not want to sit alone at a table. I thought the bartender would be more interactive with me seeing that I was the ONLY customer at the bar. She just talked with her coworker at the other end of the bar. I came to the Safehouse because my friends raved about the novelty of the experience. The bartender just gave me a sheet of riddles that was supposed to be like I-Spy of things in the restaurant that didn't make any sense to me. I ended up just eating an overpriced burger and drinking overpriced liquor. read more

Going in I wasn't sure what to expect. We were greeted by someone at the door who instantly cracked a joke with my group to lighten up the mood. If you don't know the password be prepared to feel like a kid again! There is a lot to do once inside and all the staff is very friendly. Agent Poppy was very helpful with everything and made sure we had all of our spy needs. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be coming back! read more

The safe house has a cool atmosphere and definitely something you should try out at some point.

Came here at the recommendation of family who we are visiting. Had no idea what to expect, so the whole entry ritual was initially amusing. If only they put that much effort into their food and upkeep of the establishment. I get that it's a very old place, but sticky floors during weekday lunch (not very busy) and both soap dispensers in the men's room inoperative were an IMMEDIATE turn off. Had I not been on vacation with my wife and 9 year old step son, I would have turned around and walked out. The waitress was friendly, but my wife was served an entirely different drink than what she ordered and the waitress had no idea what it should have looked like. Finally after I tried it and confirmed it was a strawberry Mojito vs a teauila based drink, we sent it back and received the correct one. I was so grossed out by the no soap issue, I immediately told the manager. I asked if there was another bathroom, to which I received a vague response. I was curious if the employees had another place to wash their hands. I highly doubt it. After I informed her of the soap issue, she politely said she would address it (an hour later when we left, it was still not resolved). Any competent manager would have put out a store bought bottle of soap immediately, had the fancy electric soap dispensers malfunctioned. Figuring my best and safest bet in order to avoid food that had to be finger blasted by anyone in the kitchen, I ordered the Columbian Salad. I took about 5 bites and decided it wasnt worth the risk. The chicken bits were mixed dark meat and tasted a week old. The lettuce was pretty much shredded iceberg with some old tasting cheese, diced tomatoes and a couple token tortilla chips on top. Taco Bell makes a better salad than this place at 1/3 the price. My wife's special request of a lettuce wrapped burger was accommodated and she said it tasted fine, which was the one saving grace. The spy fodder was kind of cool, but the whole place just seemed really run down and not maintained well. I guess its one of those places you have to go once to see for yourself, but as another yelper stated, I'm glad the location is secret so I don't have to tell my friends to avoid it. read more

Amazing Experience - We came to Milwaukee for the day and decided to go to The Safe House for lunch. It is like having lunch in a museum as you are encouraged to go on "your mission" to take in all the great artifacts around the restaurant. Phlebus was our waiter and WOW he is a wealth of knowledge and makes the experience even better. Nick the General Manager and Kena the Manager all were friendly and made sure we truly enjoyed our experience. We will be back for sure! read more

The experience was awesome! If you are looking for a great place to eat as well as somewhere fun this is the place to be! Our waiter, Flamingo was awesome too! Service and food was awesome!! I recommend the cheese curds and MOAB burger! read more

The atmosphere is amazing, the service was excellent when we visited - but the food was AWFUL. Inedible. My kids food was OK (off the kids menu) and they were so enamored with the atmosphere that they honestly couldn't have cared less about the food. But my sandwich and onion rings were literally the worst I've ever had in a restaurant. Come for the cool spy stuff, but eat before you go. read more

What a great evening of adventure, intrigue and good food. We were able to find the secret entrance, gain our entrance and get a great table in the Russian room. The magic was an added bonus along with the scavenger hunt. But the Best was our amazing server Agent Hunny Bunny! If only we had something similar on the west coast where we are from! Loved the whole expierence read more

Went to the SafeHouse prior to a concert at the Bradley Center this past weekend. The staff was entertaining and kept the theme going throughout the evening. The Mission Impossible drink for two was fun and the appetizers were awesome. I highly recommend the Nachos! We had a great experience and will be back soon! read more

Absolutely excellent service! The place is a bit silly but it really embraces that. It's unapologetically an over the top speakeasy and the seriousness with which the employees play their roles was excellent. So much fun. Take your friends! Cheese curds were a 14/10 would recommend and eat again. Left just wanting more! read more

My colleague and I were in town for business, we stopped here for a nice bite to eat cuz we both like spy movies. The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic as was the food. We ordered cheese curds I got the Cuban Missile Crisis, and they were all fantastic. Special shout-out to agents Walker and America for making a normal Tuesday night one to remember! read more

This place is hard to find since a secret door, but once inside it was very fun! Lots for the kids to do while waiting for food. So much to look on the walls there wasn't enough time to see it all. Highly recommend for a fun family dinner. read more

Just got home from safehouse. Not only is parking a nightmare, this is the perfect example of an awesome concept destroyed by corporate ownership. Though our waitress was attentive, the staff made no effort to improve the experience though they did acknowledge you if eye contact wad made. Our apps came less than 5 minutes before our entrees. The cheese curds were good but, the macaroni and burger were unimpressive. Marcus needs to stick to movies. John Taffer would have a ball in this place. They offer signature drinks where you can keep the glass but, are out of the glasses. How do you NOT HAVE the signature glass????? Then, as my husband finished his code beer, we noticed that a fly was also enjoying it. I would love to know what renovations were made. There were areas closed for renovations or private parties and the open areas were dingy. The waitress brought us our mission but did not explain how to prove it was completed. The fly in the beer removed all thought of dessert. Good thing the location is secret so I don't have to explain to my friends how to avoid it. I'm also pretty sure there is no password, they just want to embarrass entering patrons. If I want that, I'll go visit family. I can't imagine James Bond, Ethan Hunt, or Jason Bourne spending any time here even if they lost their ID. The one star is for our waitress. I'm going to Sobelman's. read more
