Secret
Entrance
Entering Bugsy's
is like going back
almost 100 years
to the "Roaring
Twenties," the era of
Prohibition which led
to the "speakeasy" -
secret, underground
bars. Though many
speakeasies of
the '20s had fake
businesses as
cover operations,
Bugsy's operation,
"Gouda's Italian Deli"
is legitimate!

Once cleared, a bookcase slides
open, and a passage leads you
to a dining area. Spy memorabil-
ia, spy-holes and 2-way mirrors
cover the walls. Find the unique
phone booth exit for a getaway.
Even the food has undercover
names, such as the Bond's
Bomb (shown here) Warning
--fuse lit!
Make sure to try one of the Safe House's signature cocktails. The Spytini is sent through
600 feet of tubing and passes through every room before being poured into your glass.
To enter the
internationally
known
Safe
House
you
need to know
the secret
password,
although
"Control" has
never turned
away a spy for
not knowing
the password.
