The Subway Inn

Few brave souls venture into the Subway Inn on 60th and Lex, let alone into the bathroom. But I, like Virgil, will lead you into this nether region known only to a chosen few (those who just can't hold it in till they get home). Located past the dimly lit bar, in the back of the room are the men's and women's bathrooms. Each is a single occupancy room, large enough to cram in possibly 2 people. The women's room is sparsely decorated, with many an interesting message scrawled on the once white walls. The door to the stall barely closes, as does the door to the bathroom itself, but most of the regulars with their heads in their hands drinking bottles of bud at the bar will rarely notice. What the bathroom lacks in privacy, it also lacks in toilet paper and water pressure. But there is a bar of soap over the sink for cleanliness and a poorly lit mirror for those makeup touch ups that no one in the bar will ever notice.
  • Cleanliness - 3.5 flushes
  • Aroma - 3 flushes
  • Pros - soap, working facilities, interesting reading material on the walls
  • Cons - lack of paper products, doors that don't shut, puddles on the floor
  • Overall experience - 3.5 flushes

If this bathroom is 3.5 flushes, I would hate to see what you would consider a 5 in the shade.

Truthfully, though it may not look glamourous, it didn't smell badly, and was functional, which I reserve the remaining 1.5 flushes for.
