If I'm prowling the streets of Bucktown, you'll see me at either Map Room or Cleos on Armitage. While these locations are neighbors, their differences are stark. **It's worth noting, Map Room has never claimed to be a restaurant - that's (obviously) the biggest difference between the two places ** The Map Room - good beer, a bunch of regulars, good beer (yes, I mentioned it again), chill vibe, hard pretzels. Cleos - good beer, chill vibe but more modern (eg, they have flat screens, cool decor, etc.), friendly staff, great specials, and delicious food. I've never had a bad special off their weekly specials menu. Nor, have I ever been unhappy with an appetizer or sandwich off their regular menu. Though, I must admit - many of my "taste tests" have come after a few cocktails. All in all - I highly recommend Cleos on Armitage so long as your looking for a hip enough place with nice decor, post college crowd (not senior citizens though), a nice beer selection, and pretty darn good food!
Pros: Cool atmosphere if you're looking for a place to eat, drink, and hang with post college graduate aged peeps. Pretty good weekly specials!
