Welcome to The Map Room Beer Pages
Too often we slam a beer and then slam another. We don't appreciate the finer qualities of beer. We see the commercials, raise our glass, and gulp it down. We might take the time to reflect on a bottle of wine, but never beer.
But at Map Room, we always take beer very seriously. We offer over 200 unique brands representing 36 different brewing styles from the U.S. and all over the globe. Whether you choose from of our 26 taps, a cask-conditioned ale on handpump, or one of our bottled beers, the quality and selection is world-class. The proper glass is always used for each style, then rinsed before serving to insure optimal head retention. Our draft and cooling systems are state-of-the-art, and our staff has been trained in draft systems technology and quality. And our manager Jay Jankowski also holds the Certified Cicerone credential.
Our beer menu is constantly changing because we take enormous pride in our selection, ensuring freshness and a wide variety. We try to keep our pub and online menus as up-to-date as possible, but to be absolutely certain of what's available on a given day, please ask your server or phone ahead (773.252.7636).
We now
serve Bard's Tale Bard's
Gold (4.6%), Estrella
Damm Daura (5.4%), and now Two
Brothers Prairie Path Golden Ale (5.1%) for our guests who are on a gluten-free
diet.

Beer of the Month, Three Floyds Robert the Bruce, $4/16 oz Our beer of the month for February is Three Floyds Robert the Bruce (7% abv, 30 IBU)), a bold Scottish-style ale with a complex malty body and just enough hops for balance. If you think that the Floyds gang can't do malt, think again. Have a pint, and you'll never doubt them again!

Cask Conditioned Ale Map
Room always
features a cask conditioned ale, cellared in our separate cask cooler
and served via handpump. These beers rotate quite regularly, often more
than once per week. Make sure to check the beer menu above the bar for
the latest offering, or ask your server. Our
current offering is Harviestoun Schiehallion (4.8%), a bright gold beer brewed with a lager yeast, Hersbrucker and Chellenger hops, and cold-conditioned for a week or two prior to release. Crisp and clean, but also softly carbonated and slight fruity and flowery like a standard cask ale. Ale? Lager? Hybrid? Whatever you want to call it, it's still delicious!
$6/20 oz.
