"The notion of 'fitting' inside a urinal may not appeal to everyone. But that's a pretty fair description of the experience. These big boys are so spacious and tall, and with shoulders that extend almost behind you and certainly far enough that no one can look over and make unfair judgments, that one might go so far as to describe the experience of relieving yourself as enveloping, even nurturing. And perhaps most important of all—certainly for the quality of life of subsequent bar patrons—the margin of error is huge. You basically can't miss."
—This is a rather enjoyable celebration of the urinals at Old Town Bar, which is indeed a terrific place to piss. The fixtures turn 100 years old next week.

The only equivalent in furniture is probably the Egg Chair. And you could fit three or four in those pissers.

BTW, equally commodious uratoria can be used in a midtown burger place of the same vintage (on, I think, Third). Can't remember the name, though…
P.J. Clarke's?
Can someone else google P.J. Clarke's and confirm for me that I'm not losing my mind and it really does say 'Those urinals!' with the exclamation point and everything right there in the search results?
Yes – PJ Clarke's. And Jolie, you are losing your mind. But in a good way.
GOD I LOVE PEEING THERE.
Puts the ur in back into urinal?
If you can see them in your mind clearly you are not drinking enough.
Why the hell wasn't this a sponsored post?
I know where I'll be peeing next week!
If you ever need to pee in Chicago, go to Skylark in Pilsen

Urinal party on Monday! That is so festive, in an Old Town way.
