No spy should ever leave a safe house hungry. Keep an eye out for decorative architectural elements like doors, elevator gates, and ironwork that have been salvaged from demolished Milwaukee buildings.
Secret passages from the neighboring Newsroom bar, operated by the same owner, allow patrons to move between the two spaces undetected, and depictions of the restaurant’s official mascot YugYps (“Spyguy” spelled backwards) peek out everywhere, from menus to napkins. Framed James Bond posters line the walls, and signs that point toward “Agent Debriefing,” “CIA Cover Phone,” and other mysterious locations appear around every corner. Visitors can explore the oak-paneled British Intelligence room and a red Hong Kong-themed section, with bamboo-hung booths modeled on fixtures that Baldwin saw at the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel. A cell door from an actual KGB prison, a booth that hides diners from sight, and the Unique Martini - a drink which is shaken (not stirred) by traveling 600 feet around the bar through a pneumatic tube - are just a few of the distinctive features waiting to be discovered.
#SAFE HOUSE MILWAUKEE WI REVIEWS PASSWORD#
Once you’ve given the correct password and gained entrance through a secret passage, you'll be met in the Interpol Bar by a truly impressive collection of authentic spy memorabilia gathered by owner, David J. Ask a local for the password (you’ll need it after 8 p.m.) and go down an alley and through a nondescript door for a clandestine dining experience. The concealed bar and restaurant has been fulfilling patrons’ undercover dreams and serving up Wisconsin favorites like batter-dipped cheese curds since 1966, all under the guise of International Exports, Ltd.
If this all sounds like your idea of a fun Saturday night, head for Milwaukee’s Safe House - but cover your tracks.
