Gillespie’s Map Room

Went by last night to catch the end of the cavs game. It wasn’t too busy on a Monday night. The bartender was chill. Got us drinks and food promptly and made some jokes. It was a nice experience. I will be sure to come back more of them when he is working.
The cheese bread is the best thing ever. Please don’t ever change the recipe because nobody does it like you. Also, thanks for having blue moon on draft.

I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a pizza snob. Whatever. I’m originally from Columbus where, surprisingly, there are tons of great pizza places. I moved to Cleveland recently and I’ve been on a quest to find good pizza. I have found this particularly difficult and it’s probably because I’m living downtown and don’t get out of the city often. However, I finally made it to the Map Room today and was floored. Everyone on Unilocal raves about their pizza but I was still skeptical before my visit (remember, I’m a snob?). Well, the reviews are legit. The pizza at the Map Room is excellent. Can’t wait to visit again… found my new favorite pie in The Land.

I cannot believe I’ve never been here before till yesterday! Where have I been?! Lets talk about the goodness:
The pizza. Enough said. That’s it, shows over people. The pizza is delicious! I want it now, I want it for dinner and I want it for breakfast tomorrow morning. We ordered pizza to go and had a beer while waiting for the pizza. Our pizza came out before our friends pizza, so I just kept picking at the pepperoni. By the time we left, there was only 1 – 2 slices that still had pepperoni on them. Oops.
The beer. Cold, refreshing and so cheap! Honestly, don’t think you can beat the price of a beer from downtown here.
The atmosphere. Totally fell in love. Walking up I was a little skeptical, but after walking in and sitting down I fell in love.
Honestly, this might be my new go to divey bar. Nothing better than some pizza and beer for a great price.

A bit of a dive bar, but fun for what it is. Loud music, good beer selection and casual crowd. Feels slightly like a college bar. Limited food selection, so if you come hungry, make sure you’re drunk.

This a great neighborhood bar. The bartenders there are great, and it’s a much more laid back after work bar.

Such a cool neighborhood bar. Great service, great atmosphere, and great beer and liquor selection (carries Effin Cucumber vodka, Van Gogh expresso vodka, a ton of Three Olive Vodka Flavors, and Seadog Blueberry Beer!)

Why this place rocks my socks:
— Damn good pizza (the cheese & crust ugh… drool)
— Jackie O’s Razz Wheat!!!
— Never fail to run into a Bridgeview neighbie
— Chill/​laid back atmosphere
— Can always find a place to sit
— There’s a downstairs too!
— So much fun during Browns season.
Only complaint is that the pizza takes seriously forever to come out and is a bit overpriced (drinks too) but the pizza’s so tasty that it makes up for it.

Nice downtown dive bar. Nothing bad, nothing special. They have a nice little patio area outside and decent prices. Probably should be a 3 star, but the customer service was really good so I’ll give it a 4.

Love map room! Great dive bar feeling and food is super cheap. The chicken fingers are yummy and 4 $! If you’re looking for reasonable priced beer and cheap pub food, map room is your best bet.

«I really liked the food,» my daughter said when I asked her to rate the map room. «The pizza is tasty and has interesting toppings (like meatballs. We definitely have to come back»
The service was great. The range of beers on tap is laudable… a darn good dive bar!

I really love this bar. It’s a gem of a dive bar in the midst of the club scene of the warehouse district.
My favorite things:
1) the pizza, which is always perfect and delicious and has the perfect crust (love the bbq chicken)
2) good beer list
3) random and amusing music
4) perfect place to watch a game, like when the cavs killed the heat tonight
It’s really low key, and the service can be slow on a busy night, but if you’re in the mood for a chill night, it’s just perfect.

The pizza here is so good. I usually go here at weird times-​Sunday afternoon, Tuesday night etc. So I can’t really comment on the bar scene but my friends and I have fun when we go. The cajun chicken pizza is really good. Service is good too except one time someone new was working and she didn’t take anyones cards that opened tabs so we had to try and remember who had what then close our tabs and reopen them. Understandable though.

I’ve only ever ordered take out pizza from here and I think it’s pretty good. The first time I ever had their pizza was at a friend’s house who ordered a bunch for his guests. I thought it was pretty good and was happy to find out that it’s right around the corner from where I live. The veggie is probably my favorite, though the BBQ chicken is also good.

Went here last night for beer and pizza with some friends. They have a pretty good beer selection and drinks prices are very reasonable. Nice food menu that was mostly comprised of pizza, but also had Strombolis and appetizers. The meat lovers pizza we got was delicious. Only negative was the mozzarella sticks– which were very obviously frozen store bought, but for three dollars I can’t complain. This is a very cozy bar with inexpensive drinks, and good pizza. Definitely a place I’ll stop by frequently.

Went here for pizza with friends a few months back and have been meaning to write a review because I was so pleasantly surprised! I’d been having a tough time finding a thin crust pizza to my liking in Cleveland and this place nailed it! Perfectly cooked crust, delicious cheese blend, a just-​right sauce. Loved the veggie pizza (the banana peppers added just the right amount of Zing!) the folks I was with ordered two different specialty chicken pizzas that they said were tasty.
Love the dive bar atmosphere and the interesting décor. Great prices. Good tap beer selections. Will definitely be coming back! Only downside was that the food took quite some time to come out despite us being one of two tables there for a late lunch. Was fine for us as we intended to throw back a few beers and catch up with out of town friends, but wouldn’t go here if I didn’t plan on drinking or having a long lunch.

Such a great bar! The week days are really chill but the on the weekends the bar gets pretty busy. They have good beer prices and a pretty good selection! Their pizza is to die for and the rest of their food is pretty great too! Map Room has definitely become one of my favorites!

An oasis in the desert of douchiness that is the Warehouse District bar scene. I lived next door for two years, and would «lock myself out» for an excuse to come here.
Go on a weekday, or earlier in the night. It loses some of its charm when it is jam packed. Pizze is the best in downtown CLE (although, that’s not saying a whole lot), and everything is solid and affordable. Definitely pub grub, but good pub grub.

The last two times I was here the following happened:
1. Rude bartenders who purposely overlook you at the bar and then when you try and get their attention they either make a snide remark to you or continue to ignore you
2. Food came out burnt
Done with this place

I’ve had two pretty bad experiences here, so I likely won’t be coming back. The first of my visits, we ordered food, waited over an hour for it, and after a few encouraging words from different servers and bartenders, we were told it just wasn’t happening and we should leave. Not. Cool.
The second visit was before 8pm on a Friday night with barely anyone else out on the street or in the bar, and began with the bouncer checking my ID, skeptically looking at me (I had a pixie haircut in my license photo and my hair has since grown… as hair does), asking me a bunch of questions to keep me in conversation and standing there, double checking my ID, and finally letting me in. We all got a beer and just stood around the bar – not a rowdy group, not a sketchy group, just some people enjoying a beer – but that bouncer kept coming in and eyeing me. WHAT THE HELL, DUDE. Hair grows, I tend to look young, but I’m not trying to trick you. Seriously. Cool. Your. Jets.
The projector screen cutting off part of the bar is also pretty weird to me.
I’ll never come back here willingly. After getting turned away because they couldn’t keep up with business one night and then being watched because a bouncer didn’t trust me for God knows whatever reason, I find this place pretty unpleasant.

When in C-​town this is my Pizza go to! I would not refer to it as a sports bar although I find myself here when a pretty important game is on. I plant myself on the sofa just below the big screen near the fire place… LOL it’s like bottle service set up with out the fee.
other most haves Mac and Cheese bites! IF you see me check into Hopkins pick me up and I’ll buy pizzas
