New York City Gay Saunas and Bathhouses

    New York's gay bathhouse scene was legendary in the past but declined when most of the venues were forced to close in the 80s. Some gay saunas in New York have however survived.

    Gay cruising club on the East Side. This is a place you can come to relax and watch a film with other 'like-minded men.' Can you guess what's on their mind?

    There are private cabins and a small steam bath. Now in its fifth decade, East Side Club is a popular New York cruising site. This is a members club, so expect to pay a bit more if you don't have a membership.

    This venue has been reported permanently CLOSED- October 2021.

    A large, well-established gay sauna in Chelsea. This is a members club so non-members will pay slightly more.

    If you’re in a hedonistic mood, you can come here and cruise for some action. Or if you’re looking to unwind you can watch the TV and check out the guys.

    This place is somewhat dated but it does the trick.

    Nearest station: 23 St

    Features:
    Cabins
    Gym
    Sauna
