Pike Pub

Pike Pub in Seattle 
A speakeasy vibe, harking to the wild side of Seattle. 
The brewery is located in a high traffic tourist district that must attract a lot of non-patrons - not that there is any camera (I think) or an actual person checking breath or IDs to get into the facilities. I find it hard to believe that it attracts a lot of non-paying customers. The place was devilishly hard to find. Once inside, there is an dizzying array of travel and beer related graphics.

Keeping your audience in mind


This restroom at the Science Museum in Minnesota was designed for both the minds and bodies of children.
The museum is located on the banks of the Mississippi, and a good bit of the museum focuses on the environment. Consequently, the mural across from the sinks depicts the path that water takes from the river and back to the river as we use it every day. I probably spend way too much checking out restrooms, and cool graphics like this one don't help matters.
The bottom image shows a stepstool for little ones to wash their hands. Much like the ones they might have at home.

Just so you don't forget where you are.


You don't normally think too much about the color of stalls in a public restroom. Sometimes, I guess it just goes with the branding of the company - like McDonalds or Target, or a university. 
In this case, these fire engine red stalls can be found in a firefighters museum in the Twin Cities.
