Gingerman Pub

One of my favorite bars in Austin. Tons of beers and also good people watching. good place to drop a turd too if you have to

Nestled in the shadow of the capitol rests the Texas Chili Parlor, a charming, rustic, honky-tonk with killer chili, nachos, and anything you like to drink. This is a cool, ancient bar, and we love to drink in the main room. BUT - here in Texas, you can bet our BUTS are bigger - the bathrooms in the T C P are a serial killer's wet dream. Creepy and closed in, but with plenty of angles to hide behind and peep at an unsuspecting user. Junkies, beware: there are no locks on the women's room door, and though there are two stalls, there is zero privacy, because there are no doors: just clear shower curtains. Lots of creepy graffiti spatter the asylum-white walls. I don't even want to pee in there, let alone poo! Oh Texas Chili Parlor, please, fix up your terlets.

BARTON SPRINGS MALL (LADIES!!)

The Barton Springs Mall is surprisingly elegant, filled with plants, leather chairs, and its shockingly genteel bathrooms. Except for winding down and around long hallways - never good if you're in a rush - this is a perfect place to poo. And amazingly, this poo blog contributor got caught taking pics by a soccer mom with shopping bags! And they thought it was funny! Bathrooms really are important. Austin gets this.
9 out of 10 stars
