West Side Club- FERMÉ

A non-sauna "sauna". No play spaces, sauna not working, no lounge, just a collection of little cubicles. Nothing like Steamworks, or any of the real bath houses found virtually anywhere else in the world. AND it's super expensive. Total waste of time and money. Ditto for the East Side Club, which has the same owner. Sadly, all the real saunas closed in NYC decades ago. NYC is not a gay play town.

To all out-of-town visitors: you WILL be disappointed by the gay saunas in NYC if you choose to go - unfortunately NYC is not a gay sauna or "cruise club" town (its a "Grindr town"). All the sex clubs closed in the 80s/90s and there are no fun ones left. There is no public action in this Sauna and no open areas to play in - you have to find someone roaming the hallways and bring them back to your room. And locals really don't go here - because its disappointing. Best advice: skip the gay saunas in NYC and find guys at the bars or on your smartphone. There's plenty of hotties out there in NYC, they're just not at the West Side Club or East Side Club.
