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.

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




Thanks, Bash's.

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.

Well played, BarPM, well played.





















Nice poster. Pretty mirror. Vase of eucalyptus on the tank. Odd lack of toilet paper holder.

Dig this Guinness poster. As much as I dislike this bar (they don't serve any draft beer, much less Guinness draft; their prices stink; and they play horrible jam band music), I can't find anything bad to say about this bathroom.

Rating: no turds.

Crossroads, 19th and Ave. R

Floral Fantasy FAIL.

Nothing says "class" like a lei of fake pink gerber daisies draped over a bathroom stall door.

Unless it's a 1980s print of calla lilies with some eucalyptus on top of it.

Or this monstrosity over the mirror.

Biggest FAIL, though? It's the bar soap. I'm surprised they didn't have one of those creepy, cloth belt towels, too. Grody to the max!

American Graffiti.


Graffiti is supposed to be a rebellious art. It is destructive. Clandestine. Verboten. Sneak a sharpie into the bathroom or, better yet, scrape out a message on the wall with a pocket knife or keys. Results are often amusing, as in the last post. However, bar-encouraged graffiti? FAIL.

This stall is COVERED in inane graffiti. "Marissa and Larissa love Tech!" "We Want Converse!!!" "Caitlin and Taryn run this shit!" If your name is Caitlin or Taryn, you likely don't run anything.

I have never seen so many hearts. So cute!!

Lamest tagging ever: "TTU Media Relations BAD ASSES Meg, Tess, Amanda!" Lord. I bet their boss would be proud to see his/her department name written on a wall in a bar bathroom.

Bathroom is spacious and clean, but annoying as hell.

The Mile High Club






















This is truly the worst bathroom in Lubbock. Greeting you as you walk in (though you won't do much "walking" in this bathroom) is an overturned trash can. Yay!





















I'm not sure this photo relates just how small this bathroom stall is. The only thing separating this from an airplane bathroom is the lack of bright blue liquid in the toilet. If you are taller than 5'4", there is just no room to maneuver.






















The other, slightly bigger stall. (Wider, but no more leg room than the other one)







The only redeeming feature of this bathroom is the creative graffiti, which you get a very close-up view of.


















Classy, indeed. Also, I doubt very seriously that you can get Gewürztraminer at Bash's.







This ladies bathroom is so small that they have to mount the paper towel dispenser up by the ceiling. There was also no light, save a barely flickering fluorescent fixture...my camera flash was the only real illumination.



This place makes me want to check out adult diapers.
