The Bus knows a thing or two about bathrooms
Posted on June 12th, 2008 – 1:11 PMBy Michael Rand
Jerome Bettis is probably an NFL Hall of Famer, right? Well, if any voters were on the fence, perhaps the fact that his Grille 36 has super nice bathrooms will be the tie-breaker. No lie: we love a good public restroom. Of local establishments, we dig the ones at Azia, the Independent, the Kitty Kat Club and Stasiu’s, to name a few (note: picture of trough from undisclosed Twin Cities location does not make the list). But we’d make it a No. 1 priority (get it!) to check out Grille 36 in underrated Pittsburgh. From WTAE-TV, via SportsbyBrooks, we learn that the restrooms there are a finalist for best in America:
The Jerome Bettis’ Grille 36 on Pittsburgh’s North Shore has been chosen as one of 10 finalists for America’s best public restroom.
The grille’s restrooms feature custom marble tile, plus a one-way mirror above the urinals in the men’s room, which lets patrons see out into the bar.
“The lighting is dim, so I guess it’s a comfortable atmosphere for your restroom needs,” said manager Candy Mann.
“You can see most of the TVs on the back wall, and all of your friends and relatives,” said entertainment engineer Jake Karan. “You can check on your girlfriend, too.”
Candy Mann? Really? Also, rumors that the MSP airport bathrooms received one write-in vote are unfounded at this time.

Rest-rooms?
Who’s the judge George Costanza?
RBHQ bathroom pictured there?
Re: Candy Mann - Just don’t say his name five times. Otherwise he sics the bees on you.
Word to the wise: if you say Candy Mann’s name five times in front of the one-way mirror, you get a lousy table.
jinx
You go to hell, Roughkat.
Euro update:
Croatia upset favorites Germany 2-1!
Why the F didn’t we have a Euro2008 pool?
Stu - your mom.
The restroom at Stub n Herbs will not be making this list. I know a certain former student newspaper employee that really used to miss the bowl down there. Bad.
“your mom”
…is upstairs
What do we win if we guess the location of above trough?
First Ave?
Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!
We can still reference Anchorman here, right?
Coolest bathrooms in the Twin Cities:
Loring Pasta Bar in Dinkytown
Tryg’s near Uptown
Definitely not First Ave. Not long enough (that’s what she said). Maybe Old Chicago in Uptown…
I really enjoy the fact that at the Ordway, as you go up in floors from the ground, the bathrooms get significantly less nice.
MR: you pay for the right to crap comfortably.
That’s what getting student rush seats is for. You get to crap comfortably knowing that the people crapping next to you paid at least 10 times more for the privilege.
I believe the trough in question was from Liquor Lyle’s.
Must’ve been earlier in the day.
That bathroom is at Lyle’s.
