15 Best Bars in Portland, Maine | Condé Nast Traveler

"Maps feels like a home basement bar in a home owned by someone obsessed with maps. Besides the maps all over, the furnishings are pretty pubby and the ambience changes depending on which vinyl is on the turntable (ranging from Nirvana to Crowded House). The offerings are purposely limited but they're good: quality pours of beer and wine and, to eat, cake—and only cake. This is a unique bar, which why it attracts locals as well as the expected Old Town tourists." - Joe Ricchio
