East Side Sauna

Is This Your Business?
 

Gay sauna with 2 floors. Facilities include, showers, steam room, sauna, relax rooms and lounge. Strict month membership purchase applies.

  • Attracts mostly guys 35+, blacks and latinos. You can stay up to 6 hours. Open 24 hrs. Free condoms, towels, lube. Public sex is not allowed.
 
  • I've been visiting East Side off and on for several years. The place is hit or miss, feast or famine. I have been both the belle and the beast of the ball depending on luck, I guess. The focus is more on sex than the "bath" part, two shower areas and a small steam room and sauna. No exercise equipment or pool/jacuzzi like most other clubs I have been in. I would agree that the vast majority of clients are on the older side, but there is a fair share of guys under 40 and I have seen some really yummy fellas there. Disagree with the review below stating there are rarely Asians, blacks, or latinos...I have seen quite a few ethnic guys there.

  • Well, actually, mostly frequented by guys over 55. Overwhelmingly white with a smattering of Asians. Blacks and latins are rare -- those pics are of sauna staff or models. I guess mgmt wants to suggest the plance is young, hip and flavorful ... NOT! Very tired, has-been atmosphere. Staff can be very unfriendly.

  • This bathhouse is a complete bust during the day EVERYTHING is restricted. You cannot walk around naked,you cannot have sex in the steamrooms or sauna,they took out the porno flix room. There are even signs saying that cabins are for one person only. The purpose of this place - to take your $$$$ and offer little more than a matress andlube. Lube for what since the atmosphere is totally Non-sexual

  • Had the pleasure of meeting a handsome guy with a beautiful cock in a silver ring last week. I still think of how hot and smooth it was and how generous he was to share it with me. Very oral here and will be there tonight again.

  • BTW,
    I do miss the occasional beefy hung white haired men that SOMETIMES
    frequent the place.
    I'm off to the Fair.

  • Haven't been in years but I recall the sauna being about 75 degrees and the steamroon rarely much hotter than that.
    Also and most importantly NO SEX IN EITHER ONE ALLOWED. Save your money and go to the fair theater in Queens.
    At least there you can go in a booth with whomever you fancy and have a good time without catching cooties from a barely washed towel.

  • I enjoy going there on Sundays, had a great time the last time I was there. . Yes, there are some older fat dudes there, hey, I had a heavy guy with a 8-1/2in cock. Once you go there several times, you get to know the clients. Everyone seems to enjoy Sunday's between 7 - midnight. Im heading there tonight for a quickie......

  • What a wonderful place this can be when you connect with the right guy. I had a very memorable time this afternoon with a great man that I met in the steam. Very memorable ... everything I wanted and that I went there for.

  • News flash! This place has a steam room? I thought NYC didn't allow steam rooms or saunas in city bathhouses.

  • went there tonight. This place is horrible ! Only old and fat men with big bellis...60's 70's !!
    There is no action. The steam room is too small like the sauna is too.
    It's very boring.
    If you like old fat guys with white hair this place is for you !!
    Don't waste your time and save your money

  • I went to this place this past Tuesday and I had a good time! I got to hookup with about 7-10 older men and they had some nice, hard, big and long dicks on them. One of my highlights there was hooking up with a fine older (about mid to late 50s) light-skinned black male and we played for a good 30-40 mins total in each other's rooms. We took turns sucking each others' dick and then he jerked off while sucking my dick which I thought was hot. Afterwards, we exchanged numbers and he left. Then I got to finish my time there with a decent looking older white male (about 60ish) and we took turns sucking each others' long dicks before we both shot our loads. Hopefully the next time I come, there will be more older men with big dicks there. Would love to meet some fine older black men over 50.

  • Can someone with real information tell me where in New York can you go to meet older black men over 50 years old on a regular basis? It seems everytime I go to NY, I always spot a fine older black man walking up and down the street like I did yesterday before and after I left the ESC. It's a shame that I don't see those same fine black daddies in the ESC. I've only hooked up with a few hot older black men at the ESC since I first went there a few years ago. So if anyone knows where I can meet decent looking older black men on a regular basis, PLEASE let me know. It'll be greatly appreciated.

  • Contrary to what most posters say about this place, the East Side Club isn't as dirty as they put it to be. From my personal experience, it's a good and private place to be able to hook up with other guys for sex. Sure there may be some guys who doesn't interest YOU, but that doesn't mean that those same guys that don't interest you don't attract others. Everyone has their own preference, just gotta respect it. If you don't like what you see, move along and let those who ARE interested in what you don't like get their shot at that particular person. The way some of these guys talk (mainly the younger guys on here), it sounds as if the world should revolve around them and bow to their feet. Well guess what? It doesn't work that way. If you younger guys don't like older men, then don't come back to the place. No one is putting a gun to your head forcing you to come. Like I said, just move along and go elsewhere where someone will be able to float your boat. Older men has lives too, you know. They are human beings with needs too. It's not just you young kats. Respect your elders sometimes.

  • I went to this place yesterday and ended up having an ok time, just not the way I would have expected it to be. For the most part, it was quite boring and disappointing because there were mostly alot of little dick bottoms and out-of-shape men there. I arrived there around 3pm and I didn't get what I was looking for until around 7pm, but it's best I got something decent rather than nothing at all. I got my dick sucked and I sucked and played with a few older men dicks and I did shoot my load before I left for the night. Shame that there were little to no hung older men there, but I'm satisfied with what I got there. Maybe next time will be better, at least I hope.

  • I haven't been to this place since 2001, but from the comments below its seems to be still the same! NY places have always been dirty, rundown and shabby since the 90's so no need to compare to other cities, however the reality is that today, the real action happens at private parties/clubs. You can find listings of these in the free gay rags available at all the dives in Chelsea- like HX. Check it out under "getting off" and "Parties"!
    Also remember, NYC is bigger than most. The real hot spots these days are EAST VILLAGE (the COCK, URGE etc.) and Brooklyn- The Slope and Williamsburg have a scene.

  • can not believe cruise is featuring this dump as a hot cruising spot. East Side Club is beyond horrible. the government of New York City will not allow a decent bathhouse to exist, period. If you go to the east Side Club you will find a tiny sauna and a tiny steam bath and small shower facilities that practically drip water, no decent public rooms, and loads of lonely old men in the dark private rooms on there backs or stomachs. Absolutely do not waste your time or money on any NYC bathhouse especially here.

  • Wow, surprising to see this listed. Granted sex here was easier to come by than the West Side Club, and it's better overall than the now-defuct Wall Street Sauna...but this place was a dive last time I was there in May '08. Had better (and more) sex in the bathrooms at the Eagle. And generally find the Vishara bookstore to be cheaper & better selection after midnight. But then again...I'm just a guy from Pittsburgh. LOL

  • I kinda have to agree with previous comments about this place, it's bloody AWFUL! Out of all the bathouses/saunas I've been to in the world, this is without doubt the worst one! Filthy as well! Any tourists/out of towners reading this - save your money and head to an Adult Video Store instead! Less hassle and cheaper as well! Have fun!

  • New York has a gay scene probably as exciting at Kabul.....what a disgrace for a USA city. 2 lowly saunas where you'd think u were in syria being watched by secret police waiting for you to do something wrong. argh.

  • iptisam
    Yeah, NYC leaves a lot to be desired in terms of baths.
    Steamworks in Chicago is light years ahead, big, clean, nice facilities, lots of action and hot guys.
    The Crewclub in DC is smaller, busy, but seems like lots of cruising, but maybe not so much sex going on.
    Bottom line, both better than NYC, but not as many choices as in Toronto or Montreal.

  • Hi All

    Its seems a bit repressive here, in the UK sex wise almost anything goes in the saunas.

    In Amsterdam they have naked bars

    In the UK in some bars they have SBNN, and if the goods are on show it would be rude not to check the goods out.

  • Place is great - HOT sex - just not in public, get a room, leave your door open and you will have a choice of all ages, sizes (dick & body) colors etc. Never had a problem with temperature of place, never got lice - always had a good time - usually go afternoons. Condoms & lube given to you. You will need picture ID for temp pass.

  • I was there in the summer and it was sooo hot I was sweating bullets, went into the hallway and it was slightly cooler. When I made eye contact an employee ruined the fun. Actually, I had no fun it was over 100 degrees in there and my room was on the top floor. I had to go down 5 floors to keep cool and got tired fast from the heat and climbing stairs, had a shitty time and never going back.

  • I was there a few weeks ago, I always liked this place. Groups turn me on. Anyway while I was in my room I peeked through the small hole to the room next door. Looking to see if the cock was hot, I saw a guy shooting HEROIN. Dirty needle and all. All I'm saying is be careful. You never know who you hook up with.

  • I went there last night and had a great time. i met a guy from cruise and we played around for a while. and then this really hot black man with a beautiful cock came into my room and played with my nips and i sucked him off till he came. if you're reading this i would love to get together with you again. the prices have gotten a little higher than usual, but what can you do? definitely will go again!

  • "Not the place's fault there were only 8 people there"

    Are you kidding me? Maybe if the staff was a more friendly and accommodating they would attract more guests. Maybe if they got new towels instead of the cheap ripped ones hanging together by threads. Maybe if they actually put soap in the soap dispensers, or fixed the plumbing so you got hot water.

Good place for bi - married to go for safe, discreet and legal meetings. No bathrooms, dressing rooms or public parks for me. I like the showers, steam, sauna, porn and good conversation.

    Best Advice: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHIT HOLE. YOU WILL HAVE BETTER LUCK ON CRAIGSLIST. WASTE ON TIME AND MONEY.

  • I can only assume that most of the previous comments on here are from Americans who are clearly starved of anywhere decent to go in New York.
    For any British person used to the delights of London saunas this place is truly terrible. The staff are rude and agressive beyond belief and are only interested in you tipping them for doing bugger all. The place itself is a maze of corridors and cabins with people endlessly trailing about. The actual sauna is tiny and is not used. There are no jacuzzis. Nothing can be done in the corridors or the communal areas and there are signs everywhere saying only one person per cabin etc etc The whole place is about as sexy as a trip to the chiropodist. Avoid at all costs. New York is a dead duck for any raunch and I do feel for the poor New Yorkers but that's what happens when crazed ultra right christians takeover the asylum.

  • I have always had a great time at the East Side Suana. As a member you get a private room and just leave your door open, show a little and viola the fun begins. I have enjoyed many really well hung men there and nice group action ..watching and being watched. Never been disappointed and most men are versatile and very motivated. Can't beat this place!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I was there at the bathhouse this past Tuesday and i had a good time. Not like the previous 2 times i went, but it was still good enough. Earlier when i got there, there were mostly younger guys in their 20s, 30s and early 40s whom i had no interest in mixed with some older men over 50 who didn't have anything that interest me. Later in the evening, that changed. I got to fool around with 5-7 older men who were mostly hung. I got involved in a foursome later in the night in one of the guys' room and it caught attention of some other guys there. Again, the action this past Tuesday at the clubhouse wasn't like the previous 2 times i went but it was fun enough to say that it was worth the drive, the time and the money. This time the porn room was open and they have computers now available in it for free use which was cool. Hope to meet some older hung men here again!
