As has been stated, Safehouse is the place you were at in Milwaukee.
I went there!
It was bizarre. Kinda like Jeckyll & Hyde, except lamer.
Yeah, I heard that it was pretty lame. Sounds like an interesting idea, though. I like the idea of the other place better.
I've been to the Safe House.
It's pretty gimmicky, overpriced and and lame, but nowhere near as lame as the overblown gimmicky bars we have here in Chicago.
I thought he most interesting part of it was all the authentic Cold-War era memorabilia on display, as well as the numerous little puzzles and "secret" contraptions they have throughout the place. Like, they have a phone booth with buttons that trigger recorded audio presence tracks of various different locations, so you can make it sound like you're in a different place to the person you're calling. There's also a "secret" exit you can take when you leave (an elevator/phone booth triggered by typing a secret code) that leads through a mock-up underground steam tunnel.
Actually,
the most interesting thing about the entire place is that if you venture upstairs then walk towards the front of the building, you'll enter the connected "Newsroom Pub", the official bar of the Milwaukee Press Club, which has on display hundreds of framed signatures from famous writers, artists, presidents and other statesmen, sports figures, etc.
