About

East Side Club is best suited for night owls and bar-close crowds who want a late-night spot. This LGBTQ-owned bathhouse on the East Side operates 24 hours daily, with private rooms and a steam room that doesn't turn on until noon. Reviews note the crowd picks up after bar closing time but can be sparse during the day.

The space is described as divey and casual. A membership is available but only through a short weekday window. Reviews mention dated facilities, broken amenities (elevator, showers), and a mixed clientele. The room rate is $43 for non-members, and towels are provided. Plan ahead if you want steam or working showers.

From the community

I'm going here for my 52nd birthday and hoping to have a great time. I'm inexperienced but have been very attractive to men.

It was dirty, but not the place itself—the guys were low-class. The music was okay, and the towels weren't even good quality. A couple of drug addicts, though very attractive, used me for hours in some contest for well-endowed men, which was pathetic. I can't wait to go back. I discovered how much of a promiscuous person I can be. Actually, the place smelled quite clean.

It was pretty quiet, but I expected that since I was there between midnight and 3am on a Sunday night. The place is small with no slings, but I was able to get what I needed from both ends. I'll be back. It was clean, had essentials, and the staff was friendly.

I went here, and the guy at the front desk didn't understand that his job is to make people feel welcome. He was a rude and disrespectful bitter queen. Then the guy showed me to my room and asked if I wanted anything else while grabbing his dick. I see how this is going. I went to take a piss, and the cleaning guy screamed that I had to be in a towel. It kept getting worse. When I finally walked around, the smell of meth and weed was everywhere, and I don't understand why the staff doesn't smell it. This place is not for me.

An expensive, sick joke. Terrible, a horrible waste of time and money. I'm from New York and remember when this was a decent spot, but it gets worse each year. The front desk guy from the Caribbean can be okay sometimes and rude other times. Something is always broken or out of order. The last three times over nine months, the elevator was broken, so you had to climb six double flights of stairs. My most recent visit at 5am: no steam room and only three people there, including one creepy guy who wouldn't leave me alone. The other two had crack pipes. I asked about the steam and was told it wouldn't be turned on until noon, an hour after my time was up. The upstairs showers were broken. They turned all the lights on and shut off the music at 8:30am, so I couldn't even sleep, and the cleaning guy was splashing water into a bucket. In Montreal, for about $8-10 US, you get a room with a locker with outlets, four floors, sauna, steam, hot tub, working showers on every floor, a rooftop deck, and free condoms and lube. Here they charge $43 for a room if you're not a member. The only way to become a member is to come in during a narrow window on two weekdays. I will never go back. Horrible experiences, absolutely disgusting.
