Few need an introduction to The Half Door, the irish "gastro pub" (because in 2011 working the word "gastro" into your title makes you fancier) located on the corner of Sisson and Farmington. The Half Door is known for good food, a great beer selection, uncomfortable booths, and insanely loud musical acts. Now that the weather is finally starting to turn, The Half Door's outside porch will once again be hospitable and a great place to have a beer and watch cars navigate the overly complicated Sisson/Farmington/Sherman intersection.
About a year ago the Half Door renovated the men's room located in the back corner of the bar. While bathroom renovation are almost always welcome, this renovation neglected a crucial detail. What is missing from the above photo?
A divider between the two urinals.
Already a cramped space, the lack of a divider makes for an extremely awkward scenario. A patron is likely to find themselves inches from a stranger while trying to relieve themselves.
Want to rub elbows with some of The Half Door's patrons? Wait until winter and wear a large puffy jacket into the bathroom and you can literally rub elbows with your urinal mate! (We suppose this would also work if one was very large.)
Nothing awkward about that....
Are you sure those aren't laundry chutes?
ReplyDeleteThis is weak sauce.
ReplyDeleteWho knew a 50 year old retired Swedish pro hockey player was now writing "the most awful blog" ever. Stop tarnishing a legitimate athletes name with this less than worthless blog and stop tarnishing one of the few decent bars in hartford.
It looks like someone takes toilettes a little too seriously
ReplyDeleteWorking Gastro into you pub name only makes you fancy when either the reader (or in this case the writer) has to look up what gastro means. . .
ReplyDeleteI don't think the shit commentors are giving you guys is warranted. Keep the restroom reviews coming guys!
ReplyDeleteAwww, is someone at The Half Door a little cranky because someone made fun of their silly urinals?
ReplyDeleteLooks like the wacky commenters from the Courant are finally invading.
ReplyDeleteYou might be right - just noticed the wackiest one yet on the liquor store review; right out of the Courant comments, incoherent, angry, and nonsensical...
ReplyDeleteno one at the half door is upset about the urinal review. for those who are a little modest, we just point them in the direction of the unisex bathroom for one, featuring a door lock and enough space for a full grown man to do jumping jacks and/or pushups.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you aren't old enough to recall the Cool Moose and more importantly the large trough for the mens urinal.. two separate bowls is a jump better for privacy.
ReplyDeleteNever been to (old) Fenway I guess.
ReplyDeletenice urinals but yeah, I don't want to rub elbows or anything else with anyone on Sisson ave.
ReplyDeleteThe conventional tiles may not be as slip confirmation as you think, and the marble flooring gets to be distinctly dark with a considerable measure of water stream. Get some information about any new materials that have come up for washroom floor materials. view it
