About

Most bathhouses promise privacy, but Eros does the opposite. Everything happens in the open here — it's part of the design. Housed in the historic Bulldog Baths Building in San Francisco's Tenderloin, this venue has been voted Best Sex Club in the Bay Area for 15 years by the SF Bay Guardian and 48hills.com. It's a city-recognized Legacy Business, operating since 1992 with a focus on community and safe sex practices.

The crowd ranges from 20-somethings to 60-somethings, and the vibe is casual and direct. They keep condoms and soap dispensers filled with lube on the walls. The space includes a lounge and gallery for queer events. It's busier after work and as bars close. Located near Folsom Gulch , another local spot. If you're uptight about age, this isn't the place for you.

From the community

I performed oral sex on a trans person and a guy there. It's a great place. Successful visit, clean, friendly staff, relaxing.

This is the spot for hot older and very mature men. I appreciate that they have condoms and soap dispensers on the walls filled with lubricant. You can watch other men having sex and also participate. Successful visit, clean, relaxing.

“I wish he could see”

I visited in June 2016, probably the Friday night before the Pride Parade. After wandering around without seeing anyone interesting, I eventually met a gorgeous white top guy, likely in his 40s or 50s and in great shape. He was pounding a Latino bottom at the time. I sat nearby and watched with others. The bottom couldn't take it anymore and stopped. He passed me, we made eye contact and smiled. I hoped he was interested, and later in the first-floor lounge, he made the first move, grabbed my hand, and we went upstairs. He had a beautiful body and pale skin, and I loved his package. We made out a lot, though he was cautious and avoided tongue kissing. He wore a condom, which made blowjobs taste bad. Still, he was gentle when topping me. At the end, he asked for my number, but I stupidly said I live in Los Angeles and wouldn't be around often. He said he lived in San Jose, I think. We should have exchanged numbers. This experience is unforgettable. I hope you see this someday. Thanks, and thanks to Eros. I was a 5'8" Asian guy in my late 20s then.

“Visit from a Kiwi”

Went at lunchtime on Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Met a nice, toned, dark-skinned young man and had a great gentle time. Thanks for making my visit to the USA. Found Eros staff very helpful and all guys there friendly—well worth a visit.

“Had a great time!”

I've visited Eros many times and had a great time again last night. The place could use some renovation, but it's clean and the staff are wonderful. If you're particular about age, this isn't for you. You'll find people from their 20s to 60s and all body types. I've never had trouble finding someone, but I'm not shy about asking. Enjoy!
