This bar is one of the great surprises in Regent Square. I'm a huge fan.
I've been here a few times now, and every time I find something new I like. The bar decor is kind of a nautical/old-tyme feel. I like that sort of thing, so I like the bar. Behind the bar there is a selection of great old Scotches, great for a guy's night out. The beer selection is good, but I have to give them props - they have Belhaven Scottish Ale on draft...one of my favorite beers!
But it is the food that is the true surprise here at the Map Room. I figured it would be standard bar fare, but I have been BLOWN AWAY twice now, by both the selection and the taste of food available. Prices are totally reasonable...I really love the food here. There's always a chef's special, and it's definitely not what you'd expect from your average Pittsburgh bar. There is a lot of taste to be had here - check it out!
The bar crowd is usually pretty light, with a small amount of outdoor seating when the weather is nice. It's a great place to go for dinner or late night drinks.
