Best bathrooms
Going Out Guide staff | Updated 07/20/2012
What a relief it is to find such a steady stream of splashy restaurant and museum bathrooms in our area! We couldn't pick a favorite, so let's just say they're all number one.
Comet Ping Pong
Washington, DC
Log cabin or commode? You decide! The doors to the stalls are so well-hidden you'll need to feel around a little bit for the entrance.
Current Lounge
Washington, DC
The single-door bathrooms at this sushi bar and lounge look risky. The doors are clear when open, but they fog up and turn opaque when locked. A word of caution: If you shut the door and forget to turn the lock, your private business goes on public display.
Lyon Hall
Arlington, VA
Who's that good-looking person in the bathroom mirror? Wait -- that's not a mirror! The bathroom's see-through sink area gives you a chance to awkwardly attempt conversation with the opposite sex while you wash up.
Mie N Yu
Washington, DC
Remember how much fun the unisex bathrooms were on "Ally McBeal"? The concept is alive and well -- with wood-lined flourishes and barrel sinks, no less -- at this trendy, pan-Asian, people-watching spot.
Newseum
Washington, DC
You'll laugh so hard at some of the newspaper headline slip-ups on the wall, you might accidentally ... Oh wait, no, you'll be fine. Because it's a bathroom.
P.J. Clarke's
Washington, DC
In the wide world of bathroom receptacles, we haven't found any wider than the nearly six feet tall, stately slabs of custom-made porcelain in the men's room here.
