If you're a local, the Safe House is the perfect place to take an out-of-towner; seeing them balk when they reach the door and can't recite the password is a blast. This spy-themed restaurant/bar may have tourist written all over it, but at least the covert operations don't exist just to sell T-shirts. The people behind Safe House are really into their espionage mission -- holding James Bond screenings, taking pictures of themselves with the Safe House briefcase in locations all over the world, and talking in spy lingo. It's the rarest of places, a theme restaurant worth its salt. It certainly serves any cocktails a self-respecting secret agent would order -- just don't try the "shaken, not stirred" line. With a history of celebrity sightings and a fun atmosphere, this is the place for any aspiring 007.

Always a blast

My friends took me there for my 18th birthday, and I try to visit whenever I get back to Milwaukee. I live in Florida now, but still recommend it as a MUST to friends who visit.

Definitely NOT overrated!

I got taken there for my 29th birthday by some friends who deliberately did NOT tell me the password. That is part of the fun! This is SUCH a great place - little things hiding in EVERY corner! The "puzzle wall" is fun and so is the "alibi telephone". The drinks are NOT watered down and the staff OBVIOUSLY loves what they are doing. Just go and have fun!
