“Best neighborhood beer bar”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

This place has an amazing, if not daunting, list of beer on tap including one served cask style and they do a good job rotating in new choices. There's an impressive bottles list too but with over 20 on tap I never get around to that side of the menu. The atmosphere is that of your basic neighborhood pub, but... More

“The Map Room is Overrated”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2010

“Cold Shoulder”

person found this review helpful

After sending an e-mail on January 12 to the Map Room, letting them know that our pub crawl would be making its 16th annual visit on Sat, Feb 2, we were quite dismayed to be refused service when we arrived yesterday. I asked the bartender what happened that he would not pour anyone a beer? He said "owner's policy not... More
