The Safe House Restaurant opened in 1966 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It has been used as a backdrop in movies shot in Milwaukee such as a bar scene in Major League, and has been featured on the History Channel as one of the best secret locations to visit in the United States. The restaurant has been in featured articles in Time, the Chicago Tribune, People Magazine, and the London Daily Express for its food, spy drinks and espionage-theme.
According to Rachel Ray in her $40 a Day series, "you would have to be a CIA agent to figure this place out in one trip". Per Wired Magazine, the Safe House is "one of the Five Hippest Places on the Planet."
