Ground Kontrol, Men's

Connecting the old Ground Kontrol location with the new digs is a hallway with two multi-user bathrooms. You won't get a personal light show experience here, but this is still worth visiting. The entire bathroom is Pac-Man themed, featuring "1UP" and "2UP" text over the two urinals, ghosts on the walls, and other callouts to the classic arcade game. There are two stalls, one accessible, with auto flushing black toilets and single ply toilet paper.

Ground Kontrol, All Gender

In the new, front section of Ground Kontrol that used to be the beloved cyber cafe and music venue Backspace, there are two single user all gender restrooms that are definitely worth the visit, even if you're not that into arcade games. The restroom I visited was spacious, entirely metal and featured an intricate light show in the ceiling that provides a great deal of entertainment while on the john. If you press the light-switch, the room will go dark and the lights will go into a kind of pulsating sequence that lasts about 30 seconds.
