I use to stop by this place at all hours of the day and night because it was convenient. I could walk right across the street and be home. Maproom gave me excuses to order a pizza from home and then walk over and have drinks until it was ready. A watering hole at it's best. Here are the down sides.
Douche bag central
yucky ambiance
trashy women
full of more douche bags after 9pm and weekends
game days are horrendous with more douche bags and more douche bags
Guys when I listed those down sides, they weren't referring to the staff. The bartenders have always been pretty cool. Map Room is simply a watering hole for W 9th residents and game day drunks from the burbs. The clientele is a mixed bag of nuts. I had the luxury of using Maproom when I needed to use it for getting stiff drinks, escaping reality, and drowning sorrows. Well, I could have done it at the loft in the Bingham but Maproom was more fun to do it at.
