Worst one I've ever been in was the public gents near the White House in DC. Dirty? I don't think it had been cleaned since Andy Jackson used it, probably to keep his pigs. But a nice neoclassical building. I think it's closed now.

The two best beers ever brewed were Atlas Praeger by the Warsaw Brewing Company in Warsaw, Illinois and everything by Dick Brothers Brewing in Quincy, Illinois. Dick Brothers was closed by Prohibition and Warsaw Brewing went belly-up in the late 1950s. But there were always Stag, Falstaff, Hamms, Grain Belt, Griesedick, Strohs...not nearly as good as current US beers, but when it's hot and sticky outside and you want a cold one, well, they worked.

Now, you take Guinness -- please. A pint of Murphy's or Smithwick or Crean's will make the G-word pale by comparison.
