  Maia Meyhane [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: B+ ]

Maia Meyhane is at 98 Avenue B (btw 6th Street and 7th Street). There is a mens and womens bathroom. The mens room is a single and is small. The door was lockable, sink functional w/hot water, hand towels and the bathroom was clean.

This is a Turkish themed place (it's a restaurant) with dancing, live entertainment, and hookahs if you're interested. Food was good but pricey, it's a little trendy but fun. I think they cater to big groups as the night I was there it was busy, so it's not a locals kind of place.

  Ryan's Irish Pub [ Bathroom Rating: B; Bar Rating: C ]

Ryan's Irish Pub is at 151 2ND Ave (btw 9th and 10th Streets). The bathroom was cramped, no hot water and no hand towels but generally clean.

This place was really busy when I was there and very loud. Not sure I'd go back voluntarily.

  Uptown Lounge [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: B+ ]

Uptown Lounge is at 1576 3rd Ave (at 88th Street). There's mens and womens bathrooms. The mens room has a stall and two urinals. Large bathroom with functional sink + hot water, hand towels and the bathroom was clean.

Cool bar with good atmosphere. More of an upscale place, good food, recommended.

  Boxcar Lounge [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: A ]

Boxcar Lounge is at 168 Avenue B (btw 10th and 11th Street). There's a unisex one-stall bathroom at the back of the bar. Small with lockable door. Functional sink w/hot water, hand towels and the bathroom was clean.

Fun bar, narrow space hence the name but made good use of it, one of the walls is corrugated steel, couches in back, good music, recommended. Not too busy when I was there so that's a plus.

  WXOU [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: A ]

WXOU is at 558 Hudson St (btw W. 11th Street and Perry Street). There are two unisex one stall bathrooms. Both are small but have lockable doors. Functional sink w/hot water, hand towels and the bathroom was clean.

Excellent bar, very good jukebox, recommended. Owned by the same folks that own WCOU.

  Bar Veolce - Chelsea [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: A ]

Bar Veloce is in Chelsea at 176 Seventh Ave (btw 20th Street and 21st Street). There's another one in the East Village, haven't been to that one though. Veloce has a single unisex bathroom. Good size with a door that locks. Functional sink and hot water, plenty of hand towels and the bathroom was clean.

This is neat wine bar with good selection. It's small but not cramped. Prices are about $8 - $10 for a glass of wine so not cheap but they give you a good amount. They have hot appetizer type food which is good. Recommended.

This is the "Manhattan Bar Bathrooms" Blog. Here I'll discuss NYC bars I've been to and comment on the condition of their bathrooms, even providing a picture of the bathroom. I want to track, for my benefit and yours, which bar bathrooms in the city are decent and which are shitholes.
