The Map Room

Tons of craft beer on draft and even more in bottles. The bartenders are great, if you treat them right. Don't know much about beer ? Ask questions. Great coffee spot during the day, low key .

It aims to educate with its beer selection—at least 26 on tap (including a cask-conditioned, hand-pumped ale ) and hundreds by the bottle. Try the bar 's monthly "beer school " led by a local brewmaster. Read more

Johnny is my favorite bartender working there now. Amazing draft list and service, unique atmosphere and cozy seating . Great date spot or catch the game with friends.

One of the nicest hole in the wall bars I've seen. So many unique craft beers , it would take weeks to get through them all. Great place, good people, tip well . Would highly recommend!

Stop by for Beer School with Greg Browne, the brewmaster at Mickey Finn’s Brewery , to learn about the different styles of beer—tickets are sold at the bar on a first-come, first-served basis.

Love this place. From the around-the-world-beer selection to being surrounded by shelves of old National Geographics. It's like hanging out in your cool uncle's basement .

Amazing little bar with an insane tap list , great bartenders , and it's byof(ood). Plus at 4-6 bucks a beer , you really can't go wrong.

Incredible beer list . Always plenty of 3 Floyds. If the tables are full grab a seat by the counter near the door.

One of the best beer bars in the city . Formally cash only but they now take credit cards !

Yes, maps line the walls. But the real attraction is the beer list . You can travel from Belgium to the U.S. to Germany and to Ireland all from your barstool. Try the beer of the month. Genius concept.

Bartenders are nothing special but that shouldn't matter after your face has been melted off by the brew selection. The vibe was great with 2 east euros playing blitz at a high top.

Get here early enough on a sat or Sunday and you don't have to deal with football jersey cigar smoking idiots. Or you can come on a weeknight and sit in the corner. Either way the corner is the best.

Best beer bar in the city , with fantastic and super knowledgeable bartenders ! Just avoid it late on a Friday or Saturday night...the crowds are insane...

Cash only , but this spot is one of the greatest in Chicago. Very chill atmosphere with a great beer selection .

Great beer and coffee . Good to sit near the open windows

Be sure to tip your bartender well . Build a dollar log cabin . You might even earn a shot of malort.
