Question for British English Speakers...what does it mean if someone is "queueing up for the bog?"?

I was in England last month with my friend and I lost her in a pub. When I had asked my waiter if he had seen a girl with long brown hair in a pink shirt and dark jeans he told me "I believe I saw her queueing up for the bog."

We thought that "bog" meant bathroom but she told me when she came back that she was getting more drinks at the bar.

Neither of us could figure this out, what does this mean???
