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.

i've never been there, but my Brother-in-law has, and he said that the password was "i'am looking for a safehouse." and that is the reason why i would like to go, but probably never will. if i get the password wrong, i'd be too embarassed to 'do things' knowing that others are watching via camera at the bar.. it's so stupid anyways, i've heard that it isn't that impressive.

it is by far the best example of a speakeasy that any city has to offer
