West Side Club permanently closed? East Side Club only "bathhouse" left now in NYC?

Publish date: 2024-05-17

On the plus side, the Crew Club in DC is reopening soon under new ownership and new name.

That's good to know!

I've been eagerly awaiting the reopening of Hawks bathhouse in Portland, Oregon. They closed their original location last year (not sure if it was a lease issue more than Covid; their social media claimed last year they'd reopen in spring of 2021 in a nice and brand new undisclosed place.) But they haven't had any update in months, so maybe it won't happen. I visited both Hawks and Steam on different nights on my trip out there from Boston in 2012. Steam is open but has cut their hours and requires proof of vacinnation.

Both Seattle baths seem to have reopened, as has Steamworks Chicago (but now closed a couple days each week for now).

Rochester, NY, has a bath which seems open part-time now. I want to do a weekend drive from Boston to check out Ithaca, NY, and its colleges one weekend, so maybe i can divert to Rochester a few hours away.

And I want to go to Colorado for my first visit, and Denver's remaining bath has reopened with limited hours: I want to try Club Buddies in Colorado Springs also. I'm getting too old, too fast, so want to enjoy these places NOW!

Still waiting for River Street Club to reopen in Troy, NY, near Albany. It is small but decent. Even had a leftover buffet from earlier in the day on the patio on the night I visited.

I'll have to check out MegaPlex again in Providence, RI, not far from me in Boston. Hmmm...but I guess I'm in no rush, even though I haven't been with anyone in any way since February 2020.

I wonder if the DickDock cruise spot after hours in Provincetown, MA, on Cape Cod still has action. Went several times in summer 2012...less than two hours' drive from Boston. Haven't been back, so I'm due -- even though nine years of aging! But it's dark there, so maybe I haven't aged?

On hot summer nights, nothing like being in a towel on a bathhouse rooftop! I enjoyed one in NYC in 1980 or so, with the lower Mabattan skyline as my backdrop. Anyone remember the name.... maybe around Union Square? I can't recall if people were having sex up there or just walking around. Steam in Portland, Oregon, has a roofdeck. It was late September 2012, so just a few guys at times up there but they quickly went downstairs, so I saw no sex on the roof. The hot spell they just had may have been fun on that rooftop!
