It’s a fascinating subject I know…really…it seems to come up a lot – so here are my personal observations:

Best Bar Bathroom in Portland: Marathon Taverna ^[1] – spacious and remarkably clean – if we know we’re headed here later we’ll all ‘hold it.’

Worst Bar Bathroom: The Basement Pub ^[2] – love the little place, but there’s always standing water on the floor and you just don’t want to touch anything!

Strangest Bar Bathroom: Blaze Jose’s ^[3] – although I haven’t been there since they dropped the Jose’s – so maybe they also got rid of the dog and cat printed toilet seats – just weird.

Best Bar Bathroom Graffiti – The Know Bar ^[4] – it’s not just graffiti, it’s art!

Best Bar Bathroom Joke – As seen at the Pub at the End of the Universe ^[5] – “Who’s the oppisite (sic) of Christopher Reeve? Christopher Walken!”
(I know – I’m going to hell)

Smallest Bar Bathroom – The Penguin ^[6] – seriously, you not only have to straddle the toilet to close the door, but then if you do close the door don’t even think of sitting down – you can’t.

Bar Bathroom that really needs a couch – The Vern ^[7] – ever since the remodel that cleaned this place up, the women’s bathroom could hold almost as many people as the bar itself.

Now – a few of these places are coed bathrooms – but for the places that specify – I have only seen the women’s side of things (except the old Bridgeport ^[8] that had the gigantic urinals that you could lose a small child in – I can’t believe they got rid of those – they were so cool!) So what have I missed?
