"The Map Room is a casual bar in Bucktown. The space feels like a typical old-school Chicago bar, the bartenders are friendly, and there are maps on the walls. While those things might not make it seem like a good spot for meeting people, it’s usually full without being insanely crowded, and the people who go are relatively normal and nice. Plus, it’s a good place to make sure the next person you date has a pretty solid idea of where Portugal is." - adrian kane
