From the community

I had been a regular for years until a staff member harassed me and wouldn't accept rejection. He falsely accused me of damaging a room without any evidence, photos, or documentation. The inexperienced manager believed him and later regretted it. I'd like help finding contact info for the owners since I've hit dead ends.

Great spot. Visited a few years back and now I'm back working in Philly, so I plan to go again. Looking forward to a good time on the 15th of February. I enjoy sitting near the video screen and showing off, and I like watching others get off over me.

A heads-up to members and guests: I heard that some staff have started collaborating to vote on permanently banning club members. Bans were given to people based on staff's personal biases, with no evidence other than fabricated incidents and false accusations from hearsay. These are likely the same rude and hostile staff mentioned in other reviews. It seems the bans target people these staff have personal grudges against, which is unfair because they could do it to anyone. It's disappointing that instead of keeping the club a safe space, these staff misuse their authority and spread rumors by discussing it with others at the club. That's actually how I found out. It's just wrong. Staff shouldn't be allowed to protect or punish members based on who they want to sleep with, no matter the type of establishment. Do better.

Can be a nice, relaxing place. Clean, cute guys, friendly staff, and a chill vibe.

“Best so far”

My spouse and I visited during the OutFest event in 2016 and had a wonderful time. There was a good, diverse crowd. The large, three-level facility was clean and made it simple to find privacy when desired. We plan to return.
