Spuyten Duyvil

Yes, there are bars and bathrooms in Brooklyn as well, like this one at the Spuyten Duyvil, the home of rare and obscure beers. This bathrooms, located in the back of the bar on the right comes not only with the essentials - paper towels, enough toilet paper, mirror above the sink, antibacterial hand soap - but also provides its patrons with things to entertain themselves with while doing what it is they need to do. Just outside the bathroom is a bookshelf filled with entertaining reads, so you can occupy your time as you occupy the bathroom. Also, within the room, above the toilet is a can of chalk, for doodling on the walls if you get board. And, in case doodling is not your thing, it is certainly entertaining enough just to peruse the art on the walls to see how others pass their time in there.
  • Cleanliness - 2.5 flushes (but this rating was on a Sunday afternoon. I've been told it gets much worse at night)
  • Aroma - 2 flushes
  • Pros - all the essentials, plus the activities
  • Cons - one of two bathrooms in the bar, so there tends to be a line
  • Overall experience - 2.5 flushes
