Love this bar! This is a great bar for a fun low key night with friends. I went with three of my best friends for a drink before a concert. We loved the atmosphere, the walls are painted as a map of the world. For those who love beer this is the place for you. They have a large variety of international beers and the prices are great. A great place to try something new. It has a cool feel, a mix of locals and newcomers. I look forward to going back!
Amazing selection, not enough room My boyfriend is a regular at this place and absolutely swears by its tap list. (In fact, our first date was here!) They always have a staggering list of beer on tap, and an even more overwhelming bottle list. It is *the* beer bar on the northwest side. The only down side is that the last few times we've gone, the staff has been ridiculously strict about the number of people going in and out. People constantly hassle the bouncer about not being let in when all of their friends are inside, bu... read more
One of the top beer selections in Chicago The Map Room is an essential bar if you're at all interested in craft beer. They have an exhaustive selection of both Belgians and domestics, and some other beers from around the world. I've discovered a lot of tasty brews there (my current fave is the Surly Brewing Company from Minnesota) that you literally can't find anywhere else in the city. Their selection is different enough from the Hopleaf that it's worth checking out both places, frequently. The only thing I will say is that... read more
Great bar This place took me by surprise when we walked in and ordered a domestic light beer and were told they didn't have it. They have a vast selection of beers from around the world and it is a great neighborhood joint.
went for 21st bday – I went to the maproom for my 21st birthday and was treated at the door with a happy birthday whichwas quite nice. with a group of about 8 the place was packed and we had to stand in the back which was also not the worst. getting a beer was a bit tough but we managed. after about 7-8 fairly strong beers I was defintely half in the bag and was kicked out because of it. Im 5050 on this because I dont think i was that drunk and didnt see why they would kick out 8 people who were spending a ton of cash. Id go... read more
Awful!!!! – This bar is the worst bar! The bouncers think single girls are harmful and demand to be thrown out. Just went there in a dignified setting and got thrown out for leaving the bar and coming back in because we tripped at the step to get in the bar. The way we were treated was unacceptable. If you have any dignity you will not go to this bar! The bouncers treat you like third class citizens. I am certain there were people worse off in the bar yet we got thrown out, for simply tripping at their door. If you are looki... read more
Beers great, employees leave alot to be desired. – Map room has a great selection of beers, I was in beer heaven. Even though the bartender and his female counter part were not very friendly, I didn't go in to make a best friend with him or even think of taking her home. He does need a little help in pouring a beer with limited head. One thing he did do, was to suggest a wonderful I.P.A. tap beer. I did not find the place loud or juke box out of control but we also went in around 2:00 p.m. Some semi seedy patrons but no prob... read more
Poor Service, Bad Atmosphere – Good luck trying to actually get a drink here - the bartenders are rude and slow. They also poor way too much head. Quite a rip for the price you pay. On top of that, the obnoxiously loud music makes it difficult to properly enjoy the quality beer selection. The menu looks nice, but I was very disappointed.
Drink your beer, shut up and get out. – When you have the best beer list in the city, and they probably do, apparently you don't need to bother attracting return visits with good service. I considered myself a partial regular, always tipped well (well over 20% in cash), never overstayed my welcome and have brought many out of towners to this establishment. Lately it's all changed - there is now a palpable nervous discontent amongst staff which seems to stem from the owner who just never seems to really relax. My shrinking di... read more
