Hank's Oyster Bar - Washington, DC

Sunday, 11/8/09, 8 pm - Dupont

Despite being very close to my place, it had taken me a while to try this place. The restaurant isn't as small as you would think, but the restroom is. A single stall at the back of the place.

There was plenty of wicker (I think someone has to explain the chair to me) which I think is supposed to fit in with the summer-cottage-by-the-sea feel of the restaurant so I'll give it that. I always think it's odd when a restroom has a toilet paper stand instead of a wall mount. I did like the blue textured walls. I would have preferred if they could put the paper goods somewhere hidden and, despite it not being that late on a Sunday, the bathroom clearly hadn't been visited by any staff because the trash can was overflowing.

Policy - Washington, DC

Friday, 11/6/09, 10 pm - U St.

There were two single sex stalls at the back of the restaurant, fitting in with the trendy vibe.















Both doors are literally punctuated with an exclamation point - frosted, but I still didn't
understand it. From the outside (the picture is taken from the inside) they glow red and blue, but I don't think that means anything. Back inside, the black, red and metal decor is sharp and works well together. As you can see, it also had the ever popular square sink and black toilet.
