Crew Club DC

If you’re ever in Pittsburgh… Try club Pittsburgh! Otherwise, don’t bother here. It was pride weekend. It should have been there peak performance! And this is Pete… The steam room was not working. The dry sauna was not working. They have a sign posted in the lobby. Patrons were telling me that it has been that way for a while. Unlike other gay club, it does not have a proper dark room. It does not have a sling. It does not have places to sit. All you can do is mill about if you have not rented a room, or sit in some chairs watching porn. Very disappointing! And if they’re not making enough money, then either they need to figure that out or they need to start using the money that they are getting to fix these things because as I was leaving, there was at least 40 people in line to get in! There were some hot men tho. If you don’t heat my warning, and Doug, parking is hard to find so I would suggest taking the metro. You will then line up in a very disorganized queue, which you’re not really sure where the end is, then a portal will open and someone will ask for your ID. Then from there you will enter the Register area, and then the entire first floor is entirely wasted space. There are so much backstage areas in this building that it boggles the mind that they don’t use their space better. And the sitting area that I mentioned earlier has room for so many more chairs, and has so many Opportunities… Oh! And there is no free water or anything. So bring your own or be prepared to buy something from the vending machine.

My visit here was a disappointment. The facility itself is nice and offers good amenities, but unfortunately all of that is overshadowed by the horrendous staff. In particular, the general manager seems eager for confrontation, rarely listens to customers, and treats them like sources of revenue rather than people. I misplaced my locker key, which is something that can happen in a place like this. However, instead of handling the situation reasonably, I was penalized, pressured to pay additional fees, and made to feel bullied and shamed. No one is interested in taking a locker key home, and housekeeping typically finds misplaced keys at the end of the day or night. There is no justification for punishing customers in such a pitiful and aggressive manner. I found the staff to be inconsiderate, lacking empathy, quick to escalate situations, and enforcing abusive policies. It almost felt as though they were desperate to squeeze more money out of customers. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Business Bureau regarding this matter. Businesses like this should not be allowed to operate by effectively extorting their clients. Customers are your bread and butter. Learn to treat people with kindness, fairness, and basic respect.

I visited a gay sauna called Crew Club in Washington, DC. As far as I know, it’s the only sauna of its kind in the city. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The place lacked any real sauna atmosphere. It was actually very cold inside, which is completely the opposite of what you would expect. People were walking around in regular clothes instead of towels because of how cold it was. The only thing warm in the entire place was the water coming from the taps. For a city like Washington, DC, it’s honestly quite embarrassing that a venue like this operates at such a low standard. I’ve visited many gay saunas around the world — in Thailand, Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Brussels, Paris, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, the Netherlands, and more — and I have never seen such illogical rules as in Crew Club. One of the most unnecessary aspects is that they charge an additional membership fee. The only positive thing I can mention is that the staff were kind and friendly. Overall, this is definitely not a place to spend your time, and I would not recommend it at all. In Washington, DC, going to bars makes much more sense. A better option would be renting a nice hotel room and meeting people at bars, then inviting them there. Also, as mentioned, the entire place is cold, and alcohol is strictly prohibited. You cannot bring drinks from outside either, as bags are checked at the entrance

The crew club as a place is pretty much clean and the stuff as always been nice,friendly as long as I been going. Now for the clientele depending on how you look your experience is different. If u are hot,gym body or model looking of course you will get action. If you are average looking or below" going by what i seen over the years" u can get look over. I had my share of fun and I had my share of no fun so that how it is. Sometimes I feel a racist vibe is in the air,but I can't prove that so I can't a accuse anyone of that. Although the place for the most is mostly white men looking g for other white men it just a preference I guess. When I go I just open i fine guys who are thier for fun and not hang up on looking for the perfect guy,which dose from time to time. So I am an average or below black man and I know what to expect when I go.

To sum up: 200% never coming back! No jacuzzi, no pool, gym not working, steam room not working, snacks service not available, no light in the sauna, no water fountain. Having to pay for a membership when its a one-shot as traveling, plus locker fees, total: 39e. Scam. Staff was rude and not interested in customer experience, not willing to offer discount nor nothing per the facilities not working. Probably due to poor management. Advice to any investors: buy this place and start it over, thats a shame of a place for the capital of one of the most wealthy country in the word. Funny thing, at least a nice plant in the entrance, but looked more like a salad to me :)
