Sink is functional sink w/hot water, hand towels and the bathroom was sufficiently clean.This bar has a non descript entrance, no signs or anything other than it's street number "86" on the door. Cool interior and ambiance, great place for a drink with no hassles. The bar was a speakeasy and holds that ambience. Chumley's has their own brews which are fine. Food is good too.
Chumley's is the source of the phrase "to get 86ed" taken from its street address. The expression "86 someone" comes from the police informing Chumley's before raids by Prohibition agents back in the day to "86 everyone out the back door." Chumley's has a few entrances/exits that are generally hidden or not plainly obvious to the eye allowing for quick exits.
