📍 1949 N Hoyne Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Laura and Mark Blasingame opened Map Room in 1992 after years of traveling, building the bar's whole identity — travel-themed decor, National Geographic magazines, a genuine traveler's-tavern feel — around that experience.

It became a serious beer destination early enough that brewers sought it out specifically, and it still runs a monthly Beer School with local brewers. Functions as a genuine day-to-night spot, coffee and quiet work space in the morning, beer bar by night.

Holds a 4.6-star rating.
