Reviewed April 4th, 2005

This large, bright and colorful offering from a landmark Minneapolis dive bar was in remarkably good shape. I had my fears upon entering. Maybe it was the condom machine in the entryway. Or the fact that I've never in my life seen a decent restroom at a place with a $1.25 taco bar. I was more than surprised when I opened the door to find bright baby blue tile and shiny white urinals. The mopboards looked a little dirty and there were some paper towels on the floor but it could have been much worse.

Three urinals, one laughably short, were affixed to the wall with no apparent flushing mechanisms - save for an ominous HAL-like eye mounted in the middle. If this were an electric eye, shouldn't each urinal have it's own? I began to wonder if this actually housed a fisheye camera with a remote operater who flushes the appropriate urinal when you're done. Maybe it is a state-of-the-art computer who monitors and controls all aspects of the restrooms operation. In this case, I guess it malfunctioned, because nothing flushed after I finished urinating.

RESTROOM RATING: 7
