The Map Room

Editorial Review

About 10 years ago, there were places like the Map Room all over West Town: self-consciously arty bars where a random patron with paint-stained fingers might strike up a conversation with you and the bartender. These days the Map Room is a rarity. With its books and maps reminiscent of a European explorer's study and a second-to-none beer selection, the bar's personality is matched by few others.
