Yes,
Dylan Thomas drank in this historic West Village bar, but more importantly, he must have used the bathroom here. And he probably encountered the same mess as I did last time I visited the ladies room at
White Horse Tavern. To the left of the bar, past two rooms of merry-makers, and on the right you will find the ladies room. There are two toilets, and two sinks (though one is located within the far stall and the other is located in the area between the two stalls). I would head to the far stall for more privacy and more space. The sink in the far stall also has a mirror above it and a hand dryer, whereas the one in the in-between region is sans mirror and only has paper towels...which, as you can see from my photos, are lying everywhere. My main complaint with this bathroom is the trash..on the floor, on the walls, coming out of the trash cans. It reminds me of the bathroom at
L'Express. Perhaps filthy surroundings lead to creative pursuits, but they also leads to bad reviews.
- Cleanliness - 3.5 flushes
- Aroma - 2.5 flushes
- Pros - hand drying options, plenty of industrial strength soap
- Cons - trash everywhere, puddles on floor
- Overall experience - 3 flushes

This bar does have one of the more cramped ladies rooms in the city. There's a bar/music venue on Attorney Street (I think it's the Parkside Lounge) with an even smaller bathroom. But it only has one sink. So it's a tough call.
