Deep Ellum - Allston, MA

Deep Ellum - 7.0


Deep Ellum is a new bar located at 477 Cambridge St. in Allston, MA. This place has changed hands a few times in the last few years and was most recently called Reel Bar. Now, in the hands of new ownership, they provide one of the most diverse and expansive beer selections in Boston as well as a great food menu. The name Deep Ellum pays tribute to a neighborhood in Dallas, TX.


Location: After entering Deep Ellum, head straight back along side the bar and into the small hallway at the back end of the bar. The men's room is the second door on the right. Pretty obvious location after seeing the layout.
Grade: 8 out of 10

Accessibility: This is a bar so you'll need to be older than 21 to grace this bathroom with your excrement, other than that, it's a cake walk.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Number of Stalls: This bathroom is one room unto itself. There is a urinal and one toilet, so it's slightly more equipped than many of the other restrooms sans stalls.
Grade: 6 out of 10


Stall Quality: It's surprisingly nice actually. Not a lot of frills, though a nice looking bathroom and one you'll likely be comfortable getting down to business in.
Grade: 7 out of 10




Toiler Paper: Stock and standard two ply, two rolls well covered by a plastic dispenser. All quiet on the western front....
Grade: 7 out of 10

Cleanliness: This bathroom is pretty clean. The floors, by the sink, you name it... wasn't completely spotless, but was definitely clean.
Grade: 8 out of 10

Scent: Maybe the nose doesn't always know, but I smelled some fresh paint. I don't think they had just painted, but there was a bit of a scent. It was somewhat pleasant! They also have a scent dispenser if you will.
Grade: 8 out of 10

Flush: Nothing remarkable for a flush, pretty middle of the road.
Grade: 6 out of 10

Aesthetics: The bathroom here has somewhat of an almost classy checkerboard vibe. I liked it.
Grade: 7 out of 10

Extra Credit:
Paper Towels exposed on the sink: -1

The Bottom Line: This is a nice bathroom in a great bar. The biggest downside is that there it's all in one room, so it might be tough to get a seat in there. Otherwise, you're in the clear.
