West Side Club (Closed Permanently)

The most sexless and rude place imaginable

I reluctantly give 1 star; they deserve nothing. The place seems clean and nice (that was a surprise) but the attitude from the patrons is something no one should witness. I'm used to that from hotties, or guys younger than me, but these guys were gross. I tried it because the East Side Club seemed to be full of a lot of druggies, and older men are fine by me... but they gotta be attractive and sane. Why the bad review then? Because when I tried to politely ask what the best time to return might be (didn't want to base it on ONE chance), the guy behind the glass started yelling at me, telling me if I couldn't find something I liked, it was my problem. After paying $35 bucks to try it out, I think I could have been treated a little better. Come on, if your customer isn't happy, but wants to try again--help 'em out. This place should be closed simply for it's false advertising.... Sex club? For who? Self-important, out-of-shape, angry old people? Sex is supposed to be fun.

Bathouse Traveler

I travel the country and visit bath houses when in metro areas. On a recent visit to NYC, I made it a point to visit/stay overnight in the East and West Side bath houses. Unfortunately, neither were very appealing. Poor facilities, mostly trolls, poor attendence. I was extremely surprised as one would think NYC Bathouses would be hopping like in other major cities. West SIde is #12 and East SIde is #13 on my list: ES NYC (#13) ,WS NYC (#12) ,Rainbow Cabaret Tampa (#11) ,MidTowne Austin (#10) ,Tampa Mens Club (#9),Club Jacksonville (#8) ,Flex Atlanta #7, Club Indy (#6), Club Lauderdale (#5), DC Crew Club (#4), Club Orlando (#3), Ybor Resort (#2), and Chicago Steamworks (#1).

good times ...

Pete and repeat!

very average

Admission is not cheap (well this is NYC) ; however the upkeep of the place can certainly be improved. Showers are dissapointing, they do not all work and you can not adjust the water temperature. Most of the staff is rude, some appear to hate their job (why don't they just quit?). There are all types of guys who go there there so if you want to have fun you can certainly do that. Since there are not too many of these places left in NYC, it is what it is...

A disgrace

I was expecting to find great spots in NYC. I was a little disappointed by some bars and places but totally outraged when I got to the West Side Club. To get to your locker, you have go through a maze of doors, questions and signatures. I felt like applying for citizenship. The cover was very dear ($38 for a room or 32 for a locker) especially for a Sunday night and the crew was the most unfriendly I've seen in my life. Homophobic or what? Well, it was a Sunday night, so I didn't expect to see many guys and there were about 20. I met 3 . I first met some jerk who told me he was visiting from Tel Aviv but who was actually a New Yorker acting like he was a star though his only bulge was his belly. His attitude turned me off in 3 minutes. I was luckier later to find a sexy guy and we had fun and were joined later by another hunk with whom we had a beautiful 3some. I'd not recommend that place unless you are really desperate for a hookup and have no alternative.
