Steam Portland
Bathhouses · Portland, OR
About
The rooftop sun deck offers a surprising outdoor escape, with cars rushing by below on I-84. Steam Portland has been the city's only all-male bathhouse since it opened in 2003. Inside you'll find a large steam room, sauna, spa pool, and private rooms. The facility stays open 24 hours from Friday through Sunday, closing at midnight on Monday through Thursday.
The layout is straightforward: locker area, shared spaces like the steam room and hot tub, and private rooms for those who want them. A video lounge shows adult films, and there's a designated smoking area on the deck. Regulars note the staff keeps things clean and friendly, though weekend visits tend to draw a livelier crowd than weekdays.

“Please beware @ steam of Portland i”
I've always enjoyed going to Steam of Portland for over 10 years. Over time, things have changed and I wasn't aware of all the current rules. As a regular customer, I realized hours later that I had left my wallet in my car and needed to get it for purchases. I asked a staff member if I could go out to the car and come back in, but he told me I would have to pay again to re-enter, even though I had already been in the club for a few hours. To avoid any issues, as a loyal member for over 10 years, I felt I had to stay until my time was up without leaving. I now realize Hawk Bath House is better in many ways—it's smaller but nicer. I regret ever joining or renewing my membership at Steam of Portland. My advice: make sure you have everything with you before entering Steam of Portland. Otherwise, you'll have to pay again to come back in, even if you've already paid full price.

“Tuesday Steam Hot Because We Weren't creeping”
My friend and I went to Steam last night with a specific goal. It was our first time, and we had no idea what to expect. Once inside and undressed, we explored the layout. At first glance, there weren't many customers, and many who were there seemed a bit creepy, walking in circles. That wasn't our concern. We settled on a couch near the showers, watched some porn, and started playing. Later we went out to the sun deck. It was 55 degrees, warm enough for some private time outside as traffic rushed by on 84. Later we relaxed in the hot tub. Going back to the couch, my friend stayed there while I entered the sauna, which was amazing—I went in several times. Eventually, someone else came in and asked if they could touch, but I told them it was my friend's night. I went outside, introduced them, and we all went to a room, making the party even better. I realize it was only Tuesday, so I hope the guys walking in circles were unusual—my friend mentioned they were very creepy. We didn't feel threatened, but it was distracting and weird. We will definitely go back on a weekend, and next time will be my night.

“fun afternoon”
This was my first time at any bathhouse, so I didn't know what to expect. Steam was a good introduction: clean with lots to do. There was a decent crowd of men, and after easing in I had a nice time. I got my first blowjob from a guy in the steam room and gave head for the first time in my room.

“Website seriously "Overstates" what is actually available”
The website description is a clear exaggeration; the actual bathhouse is nothing like the lavish depiction. It's adequate but nothing memorable or unique. It promotes itself as the best in town, but it's really the only real bathhouse in the area. Rooms are very small but big enough to lie down. Sanitation standards are high. Don't expect many features; it's generic with limited public areas. The outdoor patio is just a cramped rooftop space for smokers.
