Crema's Take

“Maps Bar is a vinyl-spinning Portland gem where vintage cartography meets craft cocktails, creating an immersive atmosphere that feels genuinely curated rather than trendy. The bartenders are passionate about both their drinks and the vibe they're creating—expect creative specialty cocktails, thoughtful traditional options, and a carefully selected soundtrack that makes lingering over your drink feel like the whole point. It's the kind of place where out-of-town friends immediately want to return, and where the decor (those old maps everywhere) is reason enough to explore every corner.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late.

We organized a bar crawl after we wed at city hall in Portland. This was our first stop as we have loved our previous visits. Staff: excellent. Vibe: unmatched. Drinks: get out of here, delicious. A must especially for dive lovers

Such a great spot! Records playing tunes we all dig. Bartender was super friendly. Delicious drink options, and a HAPPY HOUR! We brought friends from out of town and they cant wait to come back to Portland just so we can come back to Maps! Easily 10/10. Love this place

It feels like all the moons are in alignment when you are in Maps and the bartender slides Fever to Tell on the turntable and it gets to Side 2 song 2…..🤯. Great ambiance that u seem to only find in subterranean watering holes. And the cake was delicious.

Cozy place to grab a beer or a good cocktail. From what I could tell it's prices were a little better than other cocktail bars in the area. They have a ton of old maps everywhere that are cool to look at.
