What people say, in short
Maplewood is recommended for both beer and cocktails. One patron especially likes its Old Fashioned and aromatic presentation, while another praises the cocktails more generally. Several commenters report THC seltzers, and one also enjoyed the kitchen. A group-outing suggestion singles out the smash burger. One otherwise positive account also noted early weekday closing.
