3 Gay Bathhouses in Los Angeles, CA — Saunas & Spas

A review mentions a customer who 'absolutely love Flex,' but also notes a recent closure and 'seedy' management. FLEX Spas in Silverlake is an all-male private club requiring membership for access. It offers an outdoor pool, steam room, sauna, and video lounges. Be aware that as of some reviews, the venue may be temporarily closed or shut down. The lack of updated hours and a phone recording adds uncertainty. If open, expect a men-only spa environment with amenities like the pool and steam room.

Slammer isn't your typical bathhouse — here, you keep your street clothes on. This male-only sex club in Silverlake has been open since 2000, offering private and public areas, dark corners, slings, and an outdoor patio. It's one of the busiest gay cruising spots in Los Angeles, though recent reviews call out inconsistent upkeep and a transactional feel. Hours run overnight from 8pm, with Thu-Sat staying open until 4am and Sun-Tue closing at 2am. Entry is $37 (or $25 for members) plus a $1 locker fee; re-entry costs $5. The crowd skews older according to some visitors, but others report a mix. You'll find a more curated experience at FLEX Spas or North Hollywood Spa if that's your preference.

A dry sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, gym, and sundeck are all part of this men-only private club. North Hollywood Spa has been around since 1984, offering a 24-hour café and a mix of amenities for gay and bisexual men. Reviews are mixed: some guests find the layout cramped and cleanliness lacking, while others report decent experiences. Membership is encouraged for discounted rates, but non-members pay a guest fee. A valid government ID is required. The spa is open 24 hours five days a week (closed Tuesday 10am to Thursday 6am). If you're looking for other options nearby, FLEX Spas is another spot in the area.
