Jazz, 19th and Memphis

Mardi Gras


Purple and green everywhere. All they need is beads.


























Plenty of mirrors






























Some interesting graffiti:



























Apparently, Trevor is a douche. I wonder if he could have avoided that, given that his name is "Trevor."























A sticker advertising The Local Nobodys, who, incidentally, have the most entertaining band bio I have ever read.


















A little bathroom wall moralizing.

1) Jazz is also a restaurant
2) Why are you griping about kids' vandalizing property by vandalizing property?
Just sayin'

The Robbin's Nest, Slide & Marsha Sharp Freeway

Plain Brown Wrapper






















The Robbin's Nest...what a place. From the look of the exterior and the bar itself (dark, odd, seedy), you'd think the bathrooms would be interesting. You would be wrong.











































You would at least expect this bathroom to be well-used, what with the monstrously huge mugs of beer they serve in this joint.
Clean. Roomy. No graffiti. Yawn.

Special Travel Edition - Norman, OK

Lubbock bars, take note: This is how you do a bar bathroom






















Lounging sofa






















Gorgeous sinks and interior elements




















Stainless steel, stone walls, frosted windows.
Well played, Norman.
And lest you think this is a super pricey bar, they had $1 domestic pints. Lubbock, you've got to do better than you're doing.

Bash's 2, Depot

A Tale of 2 Bash's



It was the best of shitters, it was the worst of shitters, it was the age of legroom, it was the age of crampedness... oh, enough Dickens. I hate Dickens.


Hey, check out this bathroom:











































So, sure....there is toilet paper all over the floor, there's a missing tank lid, a broken tp dispenser, and the walls are painted electric Smurf blue, but this bathroom beats the hell out of the torture chamber masquerading as a bathroom at Bash's 1.




Bonus:























There is a secret bathroom at the front, in case you don't want to wait in line or you have an odd aversion to Smurfs. Warning: the door on this one doesn't lock, so take your favorite wing-girl with you.



Rating:








Bonus rating, for having only one bartender at a near-capacity show:




Thanks, Bash's.

Red Hana, Mac Davis & University

Raider Power!





I have never seen such a spirited bathroom. Red & Black everywhere!





























They even have black toilets! Wreck 'em!

























Haha. Reminds me of one of the more creative twistings of Tech's Fight Song...."You will hit 'em in the rectum, hit 'em rectum Texas Tech." Charming, no?


Red Hana, you go.

Skooners, 16th and University

Teenagers?






















What happened here? Were teenagers practicing their house-wrapping skills? Was this meant to camoflage some minor disaster on the floor? I don't know.



This is one of the most boring bathrooms in Lubbock. Unless someone flushes dentures down the toilet. Yes, dentures. Someone actually did that here.
