  Bar 6 [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: B+ ]
Bar 6 is at 502 Sixth Ave between 12th and 13th Street (East side of the block, nearer to 13th Street). It's more of a restaurant than a bar but I think of it as a bar, plus the word 'Bar' is in the name of the place. There's a fine mens room in the back, sink w/hot water, towels and its clean.

Bar 6 is a nice place with good food. Service could be better. It's generally quiet and its above the fray of the W 4th area which is just down the block. Check out Smitty on Sunday nights, he plays a National Reso-Phonic guitar, he's excellent.

  The Magician [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: A- ]
The Magician is located at 118 Rivington St at the corner of Essex Street. Mens and Womens bathrooms in the back. Good size bathroom, clean, had a working sink with hot water, and hand towels. What more do you need.

The Magician is a great bar though it does get packed and pretty loud. Good happy hour specials, cool staff and good atmosphere. They do check everyone's IDs as the place got busted a while ago in a NYPD sting of the place.

  White Horse Tavern [ Bathroom Rating: B; Bar Rating: A- ]

The White Horse Tavern is located on Hudson at 11th St in the West Village. Mens bathroom is in the room off of the main bar. There's two side by side urinals and a stall. It's a small bathroom but with functional sink, hot water and paper. The stall was cramped, not exactly clean, and I'm not sure if the door lock functioned. I had fight my in and then back out again.

The White Horse is famous as the place where Dylan Thomas drank alcohol to excess before he died. I like the White Horse a lot, it's a cool bar and it maintains its sense of history. There's outdoor seating and good service. Tasty food too and it never seems to get overcrowded. If it does get overcrowded, WXOU is right across the street.

  Whiskey Ward [ Bathroom Rating: A; Bar Rating: B ]

Whiskey Ward (or Whiskey Bar?) is at 121 Essest Street (between Rivington and Delancey). There's mens and womens one-stall bathroom in the back. Mens room was big with a lockable door. Sink is functional with hot water and plenty of hand towels available. The bathroom was sufficiently clean though the floor around the toilet was mostly piss.

Whiskey Bar has a cool interior with good + good looking bar staff who were receptive and accommodating to our large party. Nice place and recommended for a drink in the lower east side. It got very busy nearer to 2 AM plus the DJ was real loud but that's the way it is Saturday nights in the city.

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.
