In a restaurant:

  1. If they have a bathroom, must they let paying or unpaying customers use it?
  2. Can they deny use to people who have not bought anything?
  3. There's a McDonald's that does not allow use of its bathroom after 11pm. Is this legal?

Like the others asked, you need make clear where in the world you are talking about.

My brother owns a bar in London England - My understanding is if you have seats for five or more people, then you must have washrooms during business opening hours.

If the business is closed, or if you are not a customer, they do not have to let you in the premises, let alone let you use their washroom.

Some premises ask non-customers to pay - they can - They are in a service industry, and keeps the facilities clean and/or functional.
