Maps — Restaurant in Portland

We were looking for a bar with atmosphere, and not terribly loud, for a nightcap. We almost missed Maps, it definitely doesn't force itself on you from the street.

They have a limited food menu, and we decided to opt for a dessert of chocolate/peanut butter cake, which was delicious. They offer a good selection of craft beers and some creative cocktails. The whole bar is below Street level, and the ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. We'll definitely be back next time...

Next time we're in Portland,...
