Your favourite public toilet/restroom?

Mint Aero

and why?

Could be in a bar, restaurant, hotel, subway station, street corner etc.

Mine was a bar in London. Can't think of the name now. Had lemon shaped soap bars and big old sinks. T'was cool. I was drunk.

Try be more precise than me, thanks.

Airports tend to be good. Too far out of the way for junkies and homeless people to wreck them. They're frequently visited by cleaners looking for unattended baggage, so they're overall kept pretty clean. And the WiFi usually works. So a great way to kill some time when you're waiting for a plane.

Ah jaysus come on. Was my thread too early for the layabouts and public sector types that populate boards that ye couldn't get it going?

Where are all the legend jacks with bath tubs to p*ss in down Kerry way?

We all have fond memories of a toilet for one reason or another. Nostalgia me.

Pintxos in temple bar. It's well deserved of the word Throne

Bryant Park in New York has the best public jacks I've ever seen: classical music, flower arrangements, full time attendant... beats the hell out of any public weeing facility I've seen anywhere in Ireland!

Mint Sauce

Pauls House.

The Sporting Emporium, Sth Anne Street.

They have LCD TVs showing At The Races, built into the walls at eye level, so that you can watch the horse racing when you're using the urinals.

You can hear the commentary while in the cubicles.

Beautiful decor also.

Came in to post the same. It's an experience.

Was there once, grim to **** imo

The toilets in Siam Thai in Dundrum are very luxurious. The fact that they're the only public toilets which haven't blurred into one in my mind over the years proves their worth as a favourite.

The Shelbourne are pretty good.

Upstairs in Brown Thomas Grafton Street is pretty comfy.

The Clarence is also worth a wander into if you're caught on the hop. The Aisling near Heuston is also pretty decent.

Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud. Nicest loos in the country. The only eatery on this island that has two Michelin stars and I'm convinced they got them for the quality of the toilets, not for the food.

Well then...since we've been challenged : my best loo experience of all time was finding the McDonald's right beside the Chhatrapati Station, the main train terminus in Mumbai.
After travelling on Indian trains with filthy squat toilets for days, the sheer bliss of a Western -style lavatory!
There was clean white tiles, air conditioning, loo paper, a proper flush handle, soap, warm water in clean taps, and paper towels: all in a private cubicle behind a lockable door.

There was even ice cream sundaes in the adjoining restaurant as the perfect finish.

All Indian trains have both a "normal" (squatty potty) toilet and a western style seated toilet on every carriage and they lock, and if you ask for TP they give it to you (if it's not already there). The squatty potties are on the left, the western on the right. They are both equally dirty, but sure, what do you expect when you pay €15 to cross a country where the average daily income is about the same as the cost of 6 McNuggets?

I'll second that, excellent place to sit and wonder where it all went wrong, or to count your wad of money... The background noise of the TV's create a "relaxed" atmosphere in there, I hate that dead silence you get in most jacks when your on the throne and about to commence proceedings.

The ones in the Colossus are fairly grim by the early hours.

Have a candidate for worst:

Internet Cafe on Abbey St. It's in the basement. Makes the toilet in Trainspotting look like the Ritz.

I'd imagine Brian Keenan seen better in the cellars of Lebanon.
