Came in the other morning. Service was good. But they gave a plastic cup with a plastic lid that cut through the plastic straw before I could taste my $8 coffee.

A great beer selection! I love how is decorated in their, the bartender was super friendly. Definitely like a good place to just catch up on work and be in a cozy public environment.

Mariah is always so Cheerful, welcoming, and warm!!! Every time I visit and she is working, it just makes the experience overall 10 times better!
There are Thousands of bars in Chicago, but not many bartenders like her!

Good concept, but one rude bartender completely ruined the experience. We stopped at The Map Room after the Chicago Marathon to celebrate. We’d heard it was a great spot to grab a drink and bring in food. When we walked in, the bartender behind the counter gave a brief greeting, but when my wife and daughters walked ahead of me, he suddenly barked, “I need to see their IDs, call them back, you know their names.” His tone was unnecessarily hostile and caught me off guard.
I calmly told him to relax and that they’d come back. I mentioned one of my daughters was 19, and his response was, “You have to leave,” with zero courtesy or professionalism. I fully understand ID rules, but there’s a respectful way to handle it. His attitude was aggressive, condescending, and frankly, embarrassing. We thouyght because you could eat at the establishment, she would be ok.
The space itself seemed nice enough, but this bartender’s demeanor made it impossible to want to ever come back. Hopefully management addresses how staff speak to guests, because customer service matters as much as the beer selection.
Extensive draft list, great atmosphere. One of my favorite bars for daytime and nighttime. If you had to choose just one bar to go to for the rest of your life this would be a top contender

Good beer, atmosphere. Guessing the flags is fun esp if you’re not an expert. Unmistakable from the outside too, which i thought was funny. Def worth a return

One of the best bars in the city. The vibe, beer selection, and service is unbeatable. Do yourself a favor and go here for a pint. Fantastic selection of local and international beers!
