The Map Room

There is nothing really wrong with The Map Room; it's just that there is never anyone in The Map Room. It feels weirdly like you're intruding on something when you're there, or like the place is a front*.

They always have East End beers on tap, which is great. They have plenty of room. There are booths and tables and a nice sized bar. There are, obviously, maps, lots of maps. They have a small sidewalk space roped off out front which is actually pretty nice for two people. The food is not great, but it's passable. It's just always so very empty there. And we find this oddly disconcerting.

It's right in between D's and Murphy's, so it should get a lot of traffic. Especially when D's is packed, you'd expect spillover in The Map Room. But it never comes. Maybe they need a rebranding.  Or maybe that’s exactly how they want it to be (see earlier front theory).

It seems like this should be a much more popular bar. There's nothing that we can pinpoint that's going wrong here and so we have decided that it must be full of ghosts. That's the most logical answer and we are sticking to it.

*We have no proof that it is a front and we are very hard to find if you happen to be the owners of this possible front.
