SafeHouse is located in the heart of Milwaukee. Since 1966, a simple door in an alleyway has been the gateway to a hidden world of espionage.
When you enter the SafeHouse, the establishment will confirm your identity to make sure you’re a friendly spy and not an evil double agent. They will even ask you for a secret password.
So, what’s the password at the Safehouse? Read on for a clue. If you can’t produce the password, you’ll be asked to complete a clearance test to prove you aren’t a double agent.
Once in, you can relax in the safe ambiance of a Cold War spy retreat. An agent who has been serving drinks here for four decades can provide plenty of spy tales.
You’ll want to gather some intelligence on the menu. The SafeHouse serves offerings like a Double Agent Burger and plastic explosives - disguised as fried cheese curds!
The drink menu is expansive, and choosing just one may be Mission Impossible. Shaken? Stirred? It’s your choice!
SafeHouse is open daily. If you need to crack the password or see other details of the restaurant, visit the SafeHouse website. Wisconsin has some theme restaurants that are truly unusual – this restaurant will take you into the dark world of an underground mine!
