"The Map Room is a casual coffee shop by day, tavern by night in Bucktown. The space feels like a typical old-school Chicago bar—the bartenders are friendly, there’s a great beer selection, and it’s usually full without being insanely crowded. Travel is the theme here, so if Twilight: New Moon isn’t doing it for you, there are lots of National Geographics and travel books lining the walls to choose from." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
