The Bar & Lounge area inside the Rhodes Hill Hospital is one of the more treacherous spots you'll push through as Grace in Resident Evil Requiem. Between the zombies lurking behind the counter and a shrieking special infected that can drop you in a single hit, it's not exactly a relaxing night out. Hidden behind the bar, though, is a locked safe worth every ounce of effort to crack open.
What Is the Bar & Lounge Safe Combination in Resident Evil Requiem?
The safe uses a rotary dial lock, and the combination you need is 10 left, 80 right, then 30 left. Confirmed by multiple sources, this code is not randomized, so it works for every player on every playthrough. Whether you're sprinting through on a speedrun or just want to skip the scavenger hunt, those three numbers are your answer.

Unlike some puzzle elements in survival horror games, the Bar & Lounge Safe combination in Resident Evil Requiem appears to be fixed for all players. No need to worry about a different code on a second run.
How to Open the Bar & Lounge Safe Step by Step
If you've never worked a rotary combination lock in a game before, the mechanic can feel a little awkward the first time. Here's exactly what to do once you're standing in front of the safe:
- Approach the Bar & Lounge Safe and interact with it to bring up the combination dial.
- Rotate the dial left until the marker lands on 10.
- Switch direction and spin the dial right until it reaches 80.
- Turn the dial left again, stopping at 30.
- Press confirm (or X on PlayStation / A on Xbox) to submit the combination.
The lock will click open, giving you access to the contents inside.
tip
Take your time on each number. Overshooting the target and having to loop back around is the most common mistake. Slow, deliberate turns make this much easier.

Where to Find the Bar & Lounge Safe Combination Clue
If you prefer to discover the code organically rather than looking it up, the in-game document pointing to this combination sits in the Custodian's Office, located near the Bar & Lounge section of the Care Center.
Here's the catch: you can't waltz in there right away. You'll need to obtain the Level 1 Wristband first, which unlocks access to that part of the hospital. Once you have it, head into the Custodian's Office, take the staircase on your right, and look for a note resting on top of a desk. That document spells out the dial sequence clearly.
Be aware that a handful of zombies patrol this office, so decide whether you want to sneak past them or spend the ammunition to clear the room before grabbing the note.

warning
Don't attempt to reach the Custodian's Office before acquiring the Level 1 Wristband. You won't be able to enter the area, and you'll have wasted a trip through some genuinely dangerous corridors.
What's Inside the Bar & Lounge Safe?
Once you crack it open, the safe contains three Antique Coins, the same reward you'll find in the Examination Room safe elsewhere in the hospital. These coins are a valuable currency for purchasing upgrades for Grace, so collecting them before you leave the hospital area is a smart move.
There's also an achievement tied to opening all the safes scattered through the Care Center, so this one counts toward your completion goals beyond just the coin haul.
Should You Open Every Safe in Resident Evil Requiem?
Absolutely. Antique Coins feed directly into Grace's upgrade path, and since you'll likely be wrapping up the hospital section of the game around the time you're cracking these safes, it makes sense to collect everything before moving on. Leaving coins behind means leaving upgrades on the table, and Resident Evil Requiem doesn't hand out resources generously.
The achievement reward for opening all safes is an extra reason to tick this one off your list before you exit the Care Center for good.
