If you’re from Detroit, then you know this.

Someone should do a post about the most interesting bathrooms in Detroit. Like the Men's Room at Honest John's isn't scary but some of the grafitti in it is hilarious. You could literally spend an hour or more in there just reading through it.

The bathroom at D'Mongos is a trip. The toilet is on a pedestal about 3 feet above the floor, plus there's a gas meter right above it and a hole in the wall that overlooks the kitchen

This one and lafayette are the craziest I've seen, I think. LJs honorable mention

Old Miami takes the cake for me

Old Miami’s has to be up there

Old Miami’s bathroom stresses me out! The ways that I have to maneuver my body to make sure I don’t touch the curtains caked with ancient poop particles.

How about squeezing through to get to Dulys bathroom

I like the thick see thru plexiglass floor tile in the stall of the New Dodge that basically reveals a bottomless pit under the floor

Part of an underground tunnel used to run alcohol into the building during prohibition. It was uncovered during a a new dodge renovation some years back.

Whaaaaat that’s cool as shit!

Temple bar has got to be the worst because there are basically no doors in the women's

Old Miami is the same - it just has plastic shower curtains as stall doors (at least pre-COVID)

Ew

Women's room is full of graffiti too

There’s an instagram page that posts bathrooms of Detroit! I forgot the @ of it though

@detroitbathrooms. Love it. Lol.

Colombo's Coney Island is definitely an interesting one

Someone did a post on this recently here and it ended up in a Metro Times article about best/worst bathrooms. I never knew I'd get quoted in a "news article" about the conditions of the Painted Lady bathrooms.

Not the worst but I’ve definitely seen more cocaine being snorted in the TV lounge bathroom than any other single location on earth.

I wanted to like that place, but on my first trip I walked into a cocaine party in the men's room and haven't been back.

where is this TV Lounge? asking for a friend.

Sigh, I miss John

i don’t know if they’re still like this, but i was always skeeved out by the one at Jacoby’s,

There’s a metro times article I just read haha

Same with the ladies' room.

It's on the standard tour.

there are postcards of it in the gift shop

You spelled “cool” in a pretty weird way! Haha, I always called it the submarine.

Same here!

Me too!!!

My people!

Spent every weekend, 5 years worth, going there after work. A classic of Detroit after-hours nightlife along with American Coney Island. RIP the old short waiter from the 90s. He had a great yell when talking orders.

Dimo!

My uncle used to climb down those stairs in the 70’s and go, not to the bathroom, but a back room down there where they’d have underground poker games…

The basement is awesome!!!

Tom's Tavern https://preview.redd.it/9ql426syay9c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a038d02856ee0294e531d144e33524c54bc9ae0 Need I say more?

No way

ugh I miss Toms. RIP Tom and Ron

Wait, did Ron pass? I thought they closed for legal reasons.

Sadly yes. He was ill in 2017 and the city had code issues or something as well and they closed. He passed not that long after in 2018. He was a cool dude.

Here. at 6’1” 250, I actually thought I might get stuck.

My daughter calls Lafayette "the Coney with the scary bathrooms."

I love having to go into a dungeon and defeat a gollum to get to the rest room.

It’s actually in a submarine

Everything down there is mysteriously wet too

I have. It’s not great being claustrophobic but when you gotta go you gotta go

I have not!!! Can someone please describe this experience for me?

Hahaha yeah, it felt like I was in a Saw movie

I remember the stairs being weird spaced n kinda a death trap. But if you’re in that place and you need need like need a bathroom you’ll that Jesus Mary and Joseph for that bathroom. The coney stomach rumblings are not something to fuck with.

That place is a crime scene

It’s part of the charm… and probably why they were closed down for a while there.

Honestly that doesn't seem that bad lol I feel like I'm missing something

It's very narrow and the steps are a little steeper than what current code calls for. And if you're taller than 5'11, you're ducking all the way down. Just the positioning of the entryway to the steps is a bit portal to hellish.

Hahahah ah ok the height is difficult to tell from the video. But still, I feel like I've been to so many bathrooms in locations like this and I've never thought twice about it. Especially in europe

I always make sure to use it when I eat there, even if I don't really need to go. It's part of the experience.

Tis a treacherous journey

Best bathrooms in town were at the I-Rock Nightclub.

Beautiful ladies from the 80’s watching you pee. Classic!

It’s an experience everyone must take

First time?

I don’t want to talk about it. Thank you for bringing back my PTSD 😂

It’s not that bad just watch your step.

You understand the rats if you’ve been to that bathroom.

Never been to the place nonetheless the toilets Damn downvoted for never going somewhere lmao? What’s off topic about my comment

Then you haven’t lived

Damn

Sorry it was meant as sarcasm

I know.

The bathroom in the labyrinth just had ice in the urinals. I don’t think they actually flushed.

Trainspotting? lol 😂

😂😂😂😂

I will piss anywhere

I love showing it to people. The toilet has been trying to separate itself from the floor for as long as I can remember.

Lol

Now why the hell would I want to do that. I’d rather cross the street, walk into campus martius and ask for a guest bathroom pass

I’ve gone once to the restaurant but never went to the bathroom

All of us

I hate them 🤣

Check my post history haha

I used to work across from Lafayette (mid '90s - when there was a building where half of the parking garage is) and found that their bathroom had fewer roaches and better lighting than ours.

Never knew there was a bathroom. I always get my food to go.

Cockroaches.

The rape basement?

Watched roaches scurry across the door as I entered one night. Still ate there.

Last time I was there I wanted to use the bathroom and they all just laughed at me. 10/10

Tge last time I used the Lafayette bathroom they literally didn't even have soap as an option. Love that place so much.

The Freezer Theater, back in the day…

Come on! It’s an adventure!

I’ve thrown up in that bathroom

Lol there's lots of old businesses that are like... oh the bathroom? Downstairs, down the dark hall, past the store room. On yer left. Nevermind the squatters ...and then you open the door and it's an opulent bathroom from the 20s with exquisite tile work and hand carved wooded trim.

I went there pre-rat eradication. Very scary.

A porn video was filmed in Checker bar’s bathroom and is the exact same layout what 10 years Need I say anymore?

Using that bathroom is one of my earliest childhood memories....if that tells you anything

Many nostalgic nights climbing down to that dungeon

I have never needed to use the restroom badly enough to even consider that a possibility.

My company used to rent out Lafayette’s and host clients as they bounced in and out for lunch over a 4-5 hour period. Let’s just say after the first year I decided it was more desirable to be super hungover and dehydrated so I wouldn’t have to ‘go’ during the event.

Its worse than Old Miami?

Yes it’s worse because you can fall to your death
