Comet PingPong Bathroom
Guys! This is freaking me out!
A few years ago, WAYYYY before the pizza gate thing blew open, I went to DC on a business trip and afterward, my colleagues took us all to Comet Ping Pong in DC.
I couldn't put my finger on it then, but looking back I now am beginning to understand what was so weird.
The bathrooms there are almost "hidden", and I remember leaving my group to go use the John. But once I found them, it seemed like they were all full (each single-door unit is "mixed use"). Well, I waited for a sec when from behind one of the doors a lady and her daughter emerge. I can't explain it but they gave me the weirdest look, like was I supposed to meet them or something? Or had I caught them in the middle of something? It just felt very odd. After that, they disappeared on their way, and I did my business.
Now I'm thinking the bathrooms might be hidden doorways to the sex rooms. Has anyone gone on location and checked for secret doors in the bathrooms?
Very weird.

Something is weird there. We need feet on grOund in DC to investigate and come back to us re:restrooms. We need photos inside, of the sliding doors, etc. Maybe we can find the secret passageways.

It is very creepy. I am certain the bathrooms are some sort of secret doorway. We need someone in DC to investigate.

Someone on 4chan went yesterday and posted pics. Said it was full of kids. Hidden doors are still there but they've removed the sexually explicit artwook/graffiti like the guy jizzing while playing ping pong.

Do you remember any keywords? I am terrible at navigating 4chan. No search tool on there?
shogun_starship | 7 points
No but there was nothing particularly dramatic about it. He went in and took I think three pics, one of a hidden room and one of the pizza he ordered. The rest of the posts were basically "don't eat the pizza retard the toppings are kids!"

Interesting to know they removed to sexual artwork. Trying to clean shop

To any super sleuths in DC: if you go investigate, DO NOT MAKE IT OBVIOUS! Just dress yuppie-ish and act cool. Please get photos in the bathrooms (all if possible) and check for secret wall panels, hatches or doors behind the murals. THANK YOU!!!

I called the restaurant beginning last week Monday, and each night a vm was reached.
I called Thursday and a voice answered. Someone check it out.

Many times in larger cities the bathrooms are hidden to keep non-customers from coming in and using them.

Someone WILL get bumped. You will be on video so you're not safe, even when you leave. This is connected right up to those right at the TOP!

No no, remember... this is PRIVATE property and we don't have any concrete proof yet. This can't be a witch hunt but we must not stop our investigation to expose the truth!

If you look at Comet Pizza's yelp reviews, the weird, hidden and dirty bathrooms are a constant theme that people keep bringing up.
This is definitely not consistent with their high status as a place where movers and shakers come for top-ranked pizza. It sounds to me like something to repel the peons and give them a reason to not come there.
https://www.yelp.com/biz/comet-ping-pong-washington
Note: they may have cleansed some of the reviews I was talking about (too lazy to confirm though). Luckily I took screenshots.
http://imgur.com/a/a09et
I don't think I got the ones mentioning the restrooms, but I believe that at least two of them described as being similar to a gas station or truck stop in its foulness.
I just went through and searched the reviews for "bathroom" and took screenshots of all the ones mentioning how they were dirty.

Yelp had a notification that said because of it being in the news or whatever, that some reviews were getting cleaned up.
DistortionMage | 2 points
I went through all of them last week before that notification showed up, and I took screenshots of the ones that seemed interesting. Updated my comment to include link.
combatjellyfish | 3 points
just went through 5 pages, and no mention of "bathroom" using ctrl+F.
maybe they are cleaning those posts up?
DistortionMage | 1 points
That's possible, there were about 30 pages when I was looking at it last week though, and there still are. I'll update my comment with screenshots I took.

It's the location - it's not near any metro stop, so it's got a very residential feeling.

WTF are they using those CAGES for??? never seen that in a restuarant....let alone 2 of them
dumpster_high_dive | 3 points
Looks like there are bottled drinks on it? Maybe it's a shelf or a rolling rack. This whole thing is weird as hell but those could very well be innocuous.
adamunknown | 2 points
yes ive seen bakery shelves, tray shelves, carts of all types at restuarants ive worked or dined, never those types of cages tho....just at department stores where they keep the small shoplifted items
dumpster_high_dive | 2 points
Yeah it does look like a rack from some kind of store. Could still be of use in a restaurant if they got a deal on it or something. Everything in this place is kind of hodge podge anyways. Don't know what it would be doing by the bathrooms though. And I'm not saying it isn't suspicious, just trying to come up with a reasonable explanation.
adamunknown | 2 points
well who knows...maybe it for wine, or beer security - but who stores that shit outside in the sunlight?? maybe because the celler is full of children....
found one similar:

dumpster_high_dive | 1 points
That looks like a good match. It is odd, and certainly seems out of place. Still, not ideal for storing children because it would be too top heavy. But I don't know why it would be out there with bottled drinks in it.
HumanHologram | 21 points
Someone HAS TO snoop around in there. I can't say exactly why but I have a major hunch that the bathrooms have something to do with it. My feeling is there are secret walls or the bathroom can be used as a secret portal to the sex dungeons. Think about it, no one would blink an eye at an adult taking a child into a restroom, happens all the time! Perfect cover! WE MUST INVESTIGATE!
pleasedontsuicideme | 13 points
Thing is, what if they have cameras in the bathroom? If you poke around they will be sure to notice, you can't exactly go looking for a hidden door without being obvious...
I'm wondering if their mirrors are two way. I have seen that you can 'test' it by putting your finger on the mirror, but I believe that has been dis proven.
Seriously, why have hidden bathrooms in a 'kid friendly' place? So many things they do are so counter to the fact they are kid friendly its creepy.
HumanHologram | 6 points
Whoever goes to do reconnaissance neeeds to be a customer and play it really cool. We need photos testing if they are two-way mirrors (remember, someone MIGHT be watching on the other side!)
chayesdigital | 12 points
lol guys, if they catch you - you're not doing anything illegal. just say what the fuck are you gonna do about it.. then leave. they can't hold you. bring one of these in the bathroom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38Qqw2dYq_c
pleasedontsuicideme | 3 points
Again, the two way mirror thing would probably be a 50/50 thing even if the test showed 'positive'. It is basically seeing if there is a gap between your finger and the mirror when pressed up against the glass. But some mirrors do that without being two way so :/
I don't know what I think about going there and don't have the money to be a customer. The most I could do is walk in and ask to use the bathroom but I feel like that is blatantly obvious.
I do have an idea which I wont post for reasons that are clear, but even so I don't know how much they are watching out for people now that attention is being drawn to them. I'm not much worried for my own safety if it means saving these kids, but I also don't want to compromise any investigations or put anyone I know in harms way.
Sega_Saturn_Shiro | 1 points
If you turn the lights off in the bathroom the room behind the two way mirror (if there is one) may have lights on and shine through the mirror a bit.
Slipperysnek22 | 6 points
just smash all the mirrors. bring lots of friends as witnesses to make sure you don't get disappeared into a secret passage or down a trap door. if there's nothing behind the mirrors then you say sorry and pay for the mirrors. seriously a mob of concerned citizens should just go in during business hours and look around. everything about that place does not add up.
pleasedontsuicideme | 9 points
If I can't afford a pizza....I'm pretty sure I can't afford to get sued.
I know I'm new here but this is just a little silly and makes it hard to take this sub seriously for other new comers.
While I understand the frustration and enthusiasm, I think it is important to take a step back and think about this all realistically.
Plus, I wouldn't doubt if they have already cleared and cleaned out any rooms if there are any.
Slipperysnek22 | 1 points
The clearing of rooms is a good point, the rest isn't. Pizzagate is very real, and you can't sue a customer for breaking your mirror, that's retarded.

Slipperysnek22 | 2 points
Me too brah. The restaurant managers are best buds with the podestas. They know all about the donald. You don't think they know we know about spirit cooking and pizza gate?
I shouldn't be mean tho. It's a good thought. The guy who initially blew the cover on Instagram was an idiot.
combatjellyfish | 2 points
they can't say they have cameras in the bathroom without getting into real trouble. DC has voyeurism laws to protect you the average bathroom user. so if the say we have you on camera in the bathroom looking around for hidden cameras..... then you need to sue them.
Also if you go to CP, go with friends and make sure they know where you are going and you plan on coming back so if you "accidentally" go missing.. you have witnesses, also probably doesn't hurt to have 911 ready to go

You said like it seemed like they were all full...... Did you see feet under there?
HumanHologram | 10 points
You can't see in at all... it's a solid door that leads into "single" bathroom units. In fact, you can barely even tell it is a door. It was just really weird. I was waiting there because they all "seemed" full but when the lady and little girl came out, I can't describe it, it just felt WEIRD. I only started to piece it all together now.

Ok, this may have been a bad link initially. The site I used for whatever reason names every downloaded file starting with that, George Lamberis (makes no sense). Trying other sites didn't produce the same results on the same or similar file name. The website though seems to be ran by George Lamberis and seeing the comment in this, maybe I accidentally stumbled upon a new link in my own paranoia.

I think their biggest revenue stream is traffic camera tickets, and the department that oversees them had a huge party one year. So, I would say probably not.

It's not a 2 way mirror. The bathrooms are surrounded on all four sides by 1) the doors/hallway to the bathroom 2) an outdoor parking lot 3) the hallway to the outdoor parking lot 4) the big room with ping pong tables.

Do they have unisex bathrooms or did you go into the ladies room by mistake? Is this the first time you experience a little girl needing help from her mother to go to the bathroom? Do people generally give you the same look if they are supposed to meet you that they would if you had just caught them molesting their children?

Said he went home and saw a van with black windows parked outside his house. Thinks they got his info cause he paid with a credit card. Said his buddy was coming over to help him and then his account was deleted ASAP
