The Map Room could be a fantastic restaurant and I think it was at one point. I have had some really good food here and grape apes however the beer is often warm out of the tap and the food we have received the last few trips the food has been subpar. Put more resources into updating the facilities and quality control in the kitchen for control and standardization and the Map Room can be great again!

The good: the service, decor, location, beer list, perogi, & Cesar salad. The bad: the shrimp linguini The ugly: The seitan was inedible, and one of the worst things I've ever tasted. I am pesceterian (former vegetarian), and it made me nauseas. It had the texture of pure pig fat, but without the yummy taste. Our server was kind enough to comp both of our entrees Summary: seems like a good place for a beer and appetizer a bad place to try something new for dinner.

The next time someone suggests to eat at the map room, I'm walking to giant eagle and buying a can of soup. We ordered two appetizers. An hour later they brought them out with my boyfriend's food. After he had finished eating a really small portion of fish for 13$, they brought out my burger. She had asked me how I wanted the burger, I said medium, she brought me out a super dry well done burger. I ordered the BBQ bacon burger and there wasn't even enough sauce on there to taste it. Maybe a quarter sized amount. She also went on about how they make food from scratch - then the "pub pretzels" were very obviously from a frozen package. I spent forty dollars to be miserable and hungry. I'm giving one star for the cheese sauce with the pretzels, the only positive of the night.

I straight love the map room. The fact that this place doesn't have at least 4.5 stars blows my mind. We start by ordering drinks. I'm a classic beer gal. The beer menu extensive and CHEAP. Big Hop on draft, big smile on my face. My husband enjoys fancier drinks because he's a fancy man. He always picks something fun and different and always finishes whatever he's served in about 1.5 gulps. Great in the booze department. The food. I was worried about this place because the only menu I could find online for this place didn't have many vegetarian options. We eventually went anyways and I was pleased to find that they had a newer menu. On the new menu there were several vegetarian options. I got the seitan sandwich. From the second I took the first bite, I went into a kind of trance and didn't snap out of it until I looked down and realized I'd just inhaled the entire hoagie. I then started licking my fingers like a savage. Holy cow, it's the most delicious entree I've had since I can't remember. Oh probably since the Quiet Storm (RIP) but honestly, I think this sandwich might have been better. No disrespect to the deceased. I noticed some other reviewers loathed the seitan sandwich which I don't really understand. It's flavorful and is very well seasoned. I really, really enjoyed it. The second time I got this sandwich I let my husband try a SMALL piece and he threw his endorsement behind it too. The staff is really lovely and kind. Never a long wait and not hipster too cool for school like other places in the area that make me want to leave before even walking in the door. I think this place is a true gem and one of the best places in Regents Square.

Based on the other reviews, I'm thinking maybe I went on an off day--I don't know! Based on my experience, I would say DEFINITELY don't go for the food. I got the shrimp scampi which was truly horrible. I thought, okay it's a bar maybe their bar food is good I should have known not to order something like shrimp scampi, however, my boyfriend ordered the fish and chips and those were awful too! The fries were soggy and the fish was way over fried and tasteless.

I was not impressed with the Map Room. We went there on a Sunday when Dunning's wasn't open. The service was meh and the food uninspired. The decor is interesting and reminds me of an old pub. It's a good place to have a drink and chat but not to eat. I will probably not go back.
(2)October R.
Because I can't give it 3.5 stars, I rounded up to 4. The Map Room offers upscale barfare that strays from the burger and fries standard and is very tasty indeed. It's a nice place to go with a group of friends or to enjoy a lovely dinner for 2. Outdoor seating is a plus, however it is limited and it can get crowded on weekends. I've heard they have live Celtic music one night a week which I'd like to catch sometime. If you're in the area or D's is super crowded, walk next door and give the Map Room a try.

I stopped in here for a beer during happy hour. I am not sure if there were happy hour specials. Can't remember. The beer selection was okay. The bathrooms are cleanly kept and the shot glass selection above the bar is awesome. Nice touch to the bar! I'd go back for a drink, but it wasn't the most exciting place. I guess it's hard to get too crazy about with D's close by.

First of all, why doesn't Regent Square get more credit for being an awesome neighborhood? Seriously, Frick Park is right there and there is a great mix of residential sections along with a quaint row of shops, restaurants, bars, and a movie theater that shows some great stuff! Thumbs up Regent Square, keep it up. But I digress, this is not a review of Regent Square as a whole but The Map Room. It was Sunday night and my friend and I were leaving D's a couple doors down. As we passed the Map Room we heard music coming from inside and through the window saw a trio of musicians: one playing the fiddle, another the guitar, and a young woman playing the accordion. We had to go in to see what it was all about. Jamming for nearly 3 hours was an Irish Band and they were seriously talented. The guy who played the fiddle would jump up from time to time and start right into the craziest jig I'd ever seen. It was great. Other than the great music, Map room has a nice tap selection too. 4 brews by the East End Brewing Company. Two thumbs up for Map Room supporting local breweries. I will definitely be back.
(5)Barry R.
Everything was incredibly fresh, full flavored and home made, like a special holiday meal with family! The portions were extremely generous (my chicken wings look like they came from pterodactyls and my crab cakes were the size of vinyl records). I like D's next door for their 1000+ beer selection, but if great eating is my main focus, I'd gladly return to the Map Room for their friendly casual service and cozy ambiance.

Living in Regent Square, this is where I go if I want to have a nice, quiet, relaxing beer. I have never been there on celtic music nights, Every time I have gone I have been able to enjoy my food in peace, and this is something that is SO important to me. Its on the dark side, with not much natural light, but this really seems to vibe with the environment. The vegetarian selections are slim, but they are yummy. If your looking for a louder environment, try D's. If you're looking for a louder and rowdier environment, try Murphys. Thanks Map Room for giving me a place to relax!
(5)Ryan S.
The tables outside are normally taken over by smokers which is disappointing because I could sit out there all night drinking East End Brewing drafts. As a vegetarian it's a little harder to eat here, but there are some good options. The french fries in particular are a favorite of mine.
(4)Melissa S.
Cozy, clean neighborhood watering restaurant with a nice mix of people from aging hipsters, old school RS residents to young parents with kids in tow. Also a nice change up if D's gets too crowded next door. The food is a little on the pricey side but worth it, depending on what you order. The chicken wings are CRAZY large- almost freakishly so. But, YUM-- they are tasty! The French Onion soup is pretty nice as well, but they don't always have it on the menu. The Crab Corn Chowder is so-so. (I don't know why I am always inclined to eat soup here, perhaps the nautical theme). Give it a whirl the next time you are in RS. The bartenders (especially the fella with the long ponytail) and usually friendly and inviting as well.

I really want to like this place. It's geography-themed decor is the perfect primer for bringing up discussion of world travels. I was lucky to stumble upon a group of musicians strumming away at some Irish tunes at the back table once. All in all, a really fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, I've taken friends here several times after a romp through Frick Park and have been disappointed every time. The vegetable sandwich was kind of slimy and lifeless. The turkey sandwich with stuffing was really salty and terribly dry. The decent beer selection wasn't enough to wash it down. If pub food is what you seek, you're probably better off slinking down to Dunning's at the other end. The silver lining: At least you can't get lost in here.

This bar is one of the great surprises in Regent Square. I'm a huge fan. I've been here a few times now, and every time I find something new I like. The bar decor is kind of a nautical/old-tyme feel. I like that sort of thing, so I like the bar. Behind the bar there is a selection of great old Scotches, great for a guy's night out. The beer selection is good, but I have to give them props - they have Belhaven Scottish Ale on draft...one of my favorite beers! But it is the food that is the true surprise here at the Map Room. I figured it would be standard bar fare, but I have been BLOWN AWAY twice now, by both the selection and the taste of food available. Prices are totally reasonable...I really love the food here. There's always a chef's special, and it's definitely not what you'd expect from your average Pittsburgh bar. There is a lot of taste to be had here - check it out! The bar crowd is usually pretty light, with a small amount of outdoor seating when the weather is nice. It's a great place to go for dinner or late night drinks.

The residents of Regent Square/Edgewood have been hiding a dining gem from the rest of Pittsburgh. The Map Room is a fantastic bar and restaurant with delicious modern bar food and great prices - I got Plymouth Gin highball for under $5. Amazing. For about $7.50 I got the best baked brie sandwich on crispy toasted bread with homemade fries. They have plenty of great beers on tap, daily specials, homemade desserts, and fantastic servers. Vegetarian and family friendly (to an extent) they likely will have something for everyone. I wish we were in Regent Square more often to try all their menu items and sample more East End beers in those cool barrel-shaped pint mugs.

As other reviewers have said, this is a nice place to get a beer and chat with friends. It's relatively quiet compared to other places, and they do keep trivial pursuit cards around at the bar, which can add a little fun into the mix if you're the trivia type. I struggle a little bit with the "gastropub" classification on this one, unless you call any bar & grille establishment a gastropub. I've never had food here that I was particularly fond of, nor would I consider it one of their selling points. It's merely ok. Overall, The Map Room serves a different clientele and provides a niche atmosphere unlike the other establishments in the Square, which is why is still exists.
(2)Dana S.
I've never had the food here so I can only comment on my drinking experiences, but I've always had a good time here. I like the decor and it's comfortable to hang out in, plus you often meet friendly people there (or talkative at least, whn you're at the bar!). I've always thought the prices looked a bit funny on the menu, as they're listed like 4.27 and 5.29 and stuff, but maybe I'm the only one who thinks that. Also, they sell Magner's cider, yay!
(4)Janet F.
Even though my draft Yuengling tasted way off and made me terribly sick, the wings here are, genuinely, the best ones I've ever eaten, ever. And I would definitely come back for those wings at any point. And in the future, I'd just steer clear of draft selections!
(4)James L.
The fries are really good. The turkey sandwich was creative and big, but the processed turkey slices didn't quite cut it, whatever they use for the bun was way too small, and they didn't mix enough dried cranberries with the mayo. It was good and filling, but nothing to write home about.

Taking price into account, and after just one visit, this is the restaurant in Regent Square to which we can imagine returning many times. I can't give it five stars in comparison with the outstanding and expensive place across the street, but we found it excellent, and the only place in the area which we would categorize as a first rate "neighborhood" restaurant, one where we feel comfortably relaxed while enjoying very good food of its type. It has burgers and chicken wings, but as others have said, it also has more varied and interesting fare, which we found well prepared, with sensible portions. We were fascinated by the historical maps, which our server took time to explain to us. For example, as you enter, there is a reproduction on glass of a map of the world from only 50 years after Columbus discovered America. We ignored the comment of an earlier reviewer, who apparently ran into a bad batch of draft beer, and enjoyed our generous glasses of an India Pale ale and a nut brown ale. We now want to come by between 5 and 7 on a Sunday for the Irish music -- and the food.

The Map Room is one of our favorite, low-key Regent Square go-tos. My wife, a vegetarian, regularly orders the black strap seitan and loves it. (They changed chefs and for a short bout had a rough time getting the recipe down. But it's back to its good ole self.) The decor is a bit dated, but cozy. It has a charming pub feel with good East End brews on tap. Don't come here if you are in a hurry. But if you have the time to enjoy a beer and then some great food over a friendly conversation, then this is your place. The service is always friendly and accommodating.

This is more of a 3.5 star review, as I thought this place was solid and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't an absolute dump. I'd driven by here a few times while visiting a friend and last night stopped in for a bite to eat after discovering everything else on the block was closed. We walked in and looked for a hostess stand or something to dictate if we should seat ourselves, when a bartender yelled that we can just sit anywhere. The dining room side of the room was almost full with two large tables and duos of people, but we got a seat and waited. And waited. And waited. After awhile a clearly overwhelmed server came over and read us the specials, which was our main draw to the restaurant in the first place. From the outside this just looks like another neighborhood bar and grille joint that doesn't take its food too seriously, but the menu is a bit more upscale barfood inspired. Though I'm not sure they hit all the marks on everything they wanted to accomplish, it was better than most comparable establishments I've been to. After hearing the specials, we ordered the loaded cheese fries appetizer and waited a good bit for menus to be brought over. I'm not complaining about the service--when our server could get to us amidst her 10 or so other tables, she was great. The problem is that she was the only one on a busy Sunday night and clearly wasn't used to that sort of pressure. I ordered the Regent Square with steak on a baguette and my friend ordered be A1 black strap burger with bacon. We also tried the crab and corn chowder and the cream of mushroom. The scratch made cheese sauce was great, and you could tell the fries were handmade. The crab soup left a lot to be desired. My sandwich was just alright--the bread was great, but the steak was in large chunks and not sliced which made some bites a bit more difficult to chew than others. The flavors were all there, but again it missed the mark for me. It would have done well with a sauce of some sort. I heard a table complain behind us about how long their food was taking and the server said she explained before that it is scratch made kitchen and the food takes a lot of time. I can assure you that my table wasn't informed about the scratch made kitchen, but we excused the long wait times because it was clear the place was overwhelmed. There was nary a sign on the menu or posted anywhere that mentioned how long the cooking times would be. I don't mind waiting if that means good food is on the way, but I feel as if that is something that absolutely should be mentioned up front so the diner can adjust their expectation. All in all, my experience here was fairly good and I wouldn't mind trying it again. I'll just remember to allow myself extra time :)

Yes, Map room Yesssssss. Love their happy hours. Calamari Tacos with fries on the side for only 3 dollars? Ya jokin'?! Best deal ever and the tacos were superb. I will definitely go here always and so should everyone else in regent square.

I like the Map Room. I've been here a number of times and have always been satisfied. The service is good and the food quality has never disappointed. If you're looking for beer, the place next door, D's Six Pack and Dogs, is where you want to be. But it doesn't hurt that the Map Room has a full bar and a few quality beers on tap as well. This Irish inspired pub sports a limited menu of regular items and an ever changing variety of daily specials. This evening I had a choice of either chicken parm on angel hair pasta or marsala creamed pork chops. Since I had chicken for lunch I went with the pork chops. It came with a tasty bowl of Irish stew and the chops didn't take very long at all to follow. My dish had two chops coated with marsala cream, a baked potato with sour cream and real bacon bits on top and a grilled veggie meddly of tomatoe, zucchini and Brussels sprouts. Everything was delicious! Dinner and a beer set me back $23.80 plus tip... not bad at all for a relaxing Monday .evening.

Dont know what the other reviews are talking about with the food, thought it was incredible. Started with the field salad with Gorgonzola dressing, very fresh and flavorful. I had the pub fish and chips which was good, the fries have that perfect combination of soft and crisp texture. My wife had the black strap seitan sandwich and loved it. It's difficult to find a vegetarian option that is unique but they nailed it. The BBQ sauce on it was tangy and went with the cheese perfectly. Also nice that their cocktails are very reasonably priced and they have Pimms cups which are quite hard to find. Will definitely be back.
