Starbucks - Granville and W Georgia


2 out of 5 Toilets

The Starbucks on Granville and W Georgia in downtown Vancouver is one of two at the intersection. This Starbucks directly faces another Starbucks across the street in the Sears department store. This allows you to sit at the window of one and wink and wave at patrons in the other. Its all fun and games. But, what happens if this is your location where your bladder just can't go any farther. Well, its unfortunate. You would be better going across the street into the Sears or the Bay for your deposit needs.

The Brewhouse - Whistler



2 out of 5 Toilets

The Brewhouse in Whistler is another interesting spot owned by the MJG. Located in Whistler Village, like Taylor's Crossing in North Vancouver, it offers the option of a restaurant, bar, or patio. Inside, you will find a large fire place in the middle of the bar, perfect for those cold Whistler days. And if you have kids with you, you're in luck. Not only does the washroom offer a child size urinal, but the restaurant also sports a model train riding its tracks that hang from the ceiling and go through the entire building.

Taylor's Crossing - North Vancouver


3 out of 5 Toilets

Taylor's Crossing in North Vancouver is a large Brewpub owned and operated by the Mark James Group (MJG). This large restaurant/bar boasts a heated patio, pub with 2 floors, a large restaurant with bar, HD TVs and projector. Best of all, their craft beer is reasonably priced, and fantastic to drink. As we all know, cheap beer, and lots of people, means scary washrooms. How has Taylor's come to handle the problem of drunken drinkers? Lets have a look.

Starbucks - Hastings and Kaslo


Overall Rating 11 of 24

The Starbucks on Hastings and Kaslo. The only one in its area. Interesting fact, it actually used to be a KFC, but that was many years ago. The KFC at the time, like most, was dirty, and disgusting. Due to a lack of everything, it shut down and became the shining gem Starbucks that it is today. So, how did Starbucks do in making this coffee shop, and most importantly its facilities a destination. Lets have a look.
