The head was visible in a few episodes, but while the doorway was initially labeled “CONFERENCE” in “Gambit, Part II”, it was relabelled “HEAD” by “Emergence”. In addition, in episodes throughout the seventh season, multiple crew members can be seen simultaneously entering the bridge via the head. It is unclear how many toilets are available for use in the head on the main bridge.
I think the best part is that the really clear picture of it saying Head is from the interactive TNG Tech Manual which was narrated by Frakes. I love the idea that Frakes knew exactly where the bathroom was but Riker kept running around screaming to the transporter room for a “Number Ones number two emergency”.
Poor Riker. Always running looking for a bathroom but never looking around him.
There was a bathroom on the bridge. Granted, it was originally a conference room but they repurposed it into a bathroom during the run of the show.
The more you know!

Why was Riker always constipated?
He couldn’t go #2 because he was #1
This is the real reason O’Brien transferred to DS9. Cardassian sewage disposal systems are (by necessity) much hardier than Starfleet’s.
