Every city needs a seedy, dingy waterfront tavern, and the latest Flip-Mat release delivers, with a new two-sided full-color durable laminated map depicting a dockside dive your players won’t soon forget! Consort with unsavory characters in a darkened, curtained booth. Sidle up to the criminal element at the well-soaked, crooked bar, and try not to smash the cheap furniture or fall from the balcony when the inevitable fight breaks out.
This portable, affordable map measures 24" x 30" unfolded, and 8" x 10" folded. Its coated surface can handle any dry erase, wet erase, or even permanent marker. Usable by experienced GMs and novices alike, GameMastery Flip-Mats fit perfectly into any Game Master’s arsenal!
Additionally, Flip-Mat: Waterfront Tavern can be combined with Map Pack: Waterfront in a number of different ways to create an even larger waterfront scene!

This Flip-Mat is featured in the following adventure:
This is one of my go to maps for waterfront taverns or an inn in the poor district of any town or city. My players don't mind that I reuse it again since I have a couple inn maps that I frequently use. The cartography and illustration is high quality and the blank flip side is perfect for the open sea. Couple that side with the ship map pack and you'll be set for high seas adventure!
The quality of this product is nice (its paper not battle-mat fyi) but I wish they had not folded it. I would have preferred a rolled mat that if I wanted it folded then I would have that option.
Other then that I am happy with it. It enhances the suspension of disbelief that I am always looking for in my game to get the players really emotionally involved. With this map pack and some peasant miniatures you can really get a good feel for the environment.
Love the dockside tavern, would have loved to see a second set of docks on the flip-side. I guess its nice to have a blue background for any scenes on the water, but regular blank flip-mats would work fine for this.
I have used this map for a couple of different adventures. It is an excellent map and the players loved it. I store all of my flip mats in a large art folder for paintings because then I never have to fold them up again and the creases are not an issue. The back side of the map worked well with my waterfront map pack too.
Great Map, A++ will buy from this seller again ;)

I love the Paizo flip mats and this is one of the better ones. This works great with the waterfront map packs also, it's the same exact pattern.
I didn't like the fact that these folded when I first got one but once you get used to it it's a lot more convenient than carrying a rolled up battlemat. I'm not sure how durable these are over the long term but the fact that you can write on them even using permanent market is a big plus.
Note: I would much prefer the back of this map have something a little more than just plain blue tiles. The single side I use on this is well worth the cost but the maps with 2 useful sides are the ALL Stars of the Flip Mats. (Desert, Forest, River Crossing...)
