They say you can judge an establishment by the quality of the toilets. In this pub in Arklow they’ve obviously got fed up slopping out piss and puke, so they’ve redesigned it like a slatted cattle shed. The urinals and sink all drain through the grid onto the metal underneath, and it runs off down a single hole in the corner. This is obviously a business that respects their customers

If it works
I’d piss here without a bother myself. Once you’ve done a bit of travelling your opinion changes on what a *real* bad jacks looks like.
It’s a wonder they didn’t just do away with the urinals and let people just piss through the slats.
For when your patrons are barely better than bullocks.
Come on Jimmy, lets take a peek at the pissing floor. Don’t let the name throw you, Jimmy. It’s not really a floor, it’s more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported.
Ngl I’d say its a good idea, because piss on the floor is eventually going to happen when the customers there can’t even see straight. So I’d actually rather see that in a bathroom than having to step in piss to reach the urinal
I think this is a great set up, probably the most hygienic arrangement for urinals
Great way to deal with insurance claims. No more worrying about mopping it every 5 minutes in case someone puts a claim for slipping. I actually like it too. No more standing in piss.
How am I supposed to bring the horse for a wee now?
This is the only way the floor around urinals should be.
I lost so many good horses in that jacks.
The way the pic is tilted looks like the pissholes are at an angle, makes it look like a fairground type game. Who can hit the target, further gets the best prize.
Hope the have a power washer nearby to hose it down every night or it’s going to be fucking stinking
Where the fuck are your legs op?
They do that so you can’t take Coke off the floor.
Absolute genius. No more mopping.
Given the number of men in my work who can’t piss straight while sober – I’d be happy with this.
Best option for all involved
Man it’s way better than walking into a place with piss all over the floor
You don’t even really need the urinals in this kind of set up
Just don’t drop anything
Until it got renovated in the late 90s the Bluebell bar in Derry had a toilet where you just pissed on the tiled floors or walls, the floor was sloped towards a drain hole. You were supposed to turn on a tap for a few seconds when you left to help flush it all away.
It was proper old school and had been that way since the pub was built 100 odd years ago.
This toilet blew my mind when I first went into it. The Ship right?
My friend brought me to this pub because the food was apparently nice (and it really was!) – then I go into the toilet and I’m just standing in a giant urinal. I know its the same place because I actually took a picture at the time on my phone to show my friend.
She was like: “Oh that’s weird. Surprised no one ever mentioned it before”
girl, You’ve been coming here for years and your male friends have been causally walking out of the pissboy playroom for YEARS and no one mentioned it?!
This is a great idea – are you saying it’s bad lol – I’d be happy to see this then whatever hellish nightmare drove them to this
Every public toilet should be like this. Honestly that amount of men unable to piss into a Urinal is ridiculous. Why do I need to stand in someone else’s piss just because their dick is too small to guarantee the flow of piss into the bowl
Trough underneath goes straight to the Budweiser kegs.
Why put 3 urinals there when they can’t all be used at the same time? Load balancing?
I’d hate to drop my house keys
It’s a non-slip feature, for when patrons can’t aim and you don’t want them to fall
I would say it makes the urinals superfluous. Just go in, pick a spot, piss through the grates.
The *dream*.
I’m a little surprised they don’t do this at festivals to be honest.
Looks very small.
Clearly a drip tray, wonder how they measure wastage?
The Old Ship? That style of floor takes some of the pressure off aiming so you actually aim better.
Looks like something out of a Saw movie
Leave the suede Desert boots at home tho.
After years of seeing lads with worse aim than a stormtrooper. I’d take this in a heartbeat over the wet and sticky footsteps that leave your shoes stinking.
Ha ha extreme though it makes total sense since s lot of people seem to pee on floors… Women included.
Pissing in Silent Hill
You will appreciate not having your boot cut jeans becoming piss wicks . Seen this in plenty pubs and it’s far more practical .
Don’t drop yer keys
Urinals taking up space id take em out for more pissing room
That’s a fierce cosy set of urinals.
It drains through into a barrel, chill it down and call it carling
