"4"^^ . "2"^^ . . . "The Map Room is where my boyfriend and I went on our first date, and we've gone back every year since then. I've also come here on two or three occasions other than our annual dates when living in the neighborhood, and this darling Regent Square mainstay has definitely grown on me! The atmosphere is cozy and old-timey with plenty of friendly locals, wood trim, framed maps on the walls, and cool map etchings on glass partitions. (Hence the name!) The service is always friendly, albeit a bit slow on a couple of understaffed occasions, but it's a small place and I'm more than willing to wait a bit so long as the service is pleasant.\n\nThe beer and liquor prices are really good, which is why it's nice to come for drinks. They have a draft list with about twelve options and twice as many bottled beers to choose from. Things like Flying Dog seem to be $1.50-$2.00 cheaper than pretty much anywhere else even if the selection is smaller. For those who don't want beer they have a menu of throwback cocktails (think Gin Rickey and Tom Collins) for reasonable prices similar to that of Kelly's in East Liberty. On top of all this whenever I've ordered their food it's been really delicious and definitely a cut above dive bar fare in terms of greasiness and taste. I've never been here and not seen multiple tables full of people eating and looking very satisfied with their meals, so I know it's not just me. I'm glad The Map Room is still open after seeing Dunning's close (the area needs another late-night food spot besides D's) and I hope it stays that way for a while yet! I'll be coming back (at least once a year) so long as it does."^^ . "2015-12-04T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
