AZ Chute in Phoenix is a distinctive spot for those looking to explore a vibrant gay social scene with a twist. Located at 1440 E Indian School Rd, this men-only venue markets itself as a private health club, but it’s known locally for being much more. The Chute features a mix of amenities, including a gym, steam room, and two video lounges, making it a versatile choice for those seeking both fitness and leisure. The space is designed for discretion, with tinted windows and an entrance that maintains a low profile from the street, catering to its members' privacy.
The club has been a part of Phoenix’s LGBTQ+ community for decades, offering 24/7 access. Guests can opt for a day pass or a longer-term membership, with access to various private rooms. The atmosphere inside combines social elements with the intimacy of smaller, private areas, appealing to those looking to connect or simply unwind. The crowd tends to be diverse, drawing in both locals and visitors seeking an open and welcoming space for gay men.
Although the Chute has faced its share of controversy over the years, it remains a fixture in Phoenix, offering a unique space that blends elements of a social club and a more traditional sauna experience.
Great place, great customer service. I am a fan of the Chute especially post remodel. I went on a Thursday late morning around 11am and stayed until 2pm, had a great time. Crowd definitely skews towards bear/older but that's what I'm looking for so all smiles here 🙂 The front desk gentleman was very kind and customer service oriented.
My husband & I went there last night. We were unhappy with the service. The men in the dark room was rude. There was this one Native guy who would push you in the dark room. Couple times we have gone & nobody wanted to play. So we won't be coming back anymore.
Awesome place. It's like one huge maze and had a great time for the short period I was there. Unfortunately, I went just after opening, so it was kind of dead (6/29/24). There was definitely some fun to be had but it's my fault for going in at a bad time. I live in Globe so it will be a while before my next visit but when I do, I'll be sure to go when there's a ton of action. The Cashier and older gentleman who gave me a tour of the place were really friendly (and attractive, heh). Overall, great first impression and can't wait for the next visit! I get the feeling I'll have the time of my life.
There are pro and cons to this place and depending what it offers:Pro: The place is huge, it’s like a maze. One turn and another are lost which is fun and gym is has a lot equipment is that your vibe and the shower are surprisingly clean and some sort private you need a moment.Con: For bathhouses, it’s surprisingly not a bathhouse. For starters there is no hot or pool. The pricing and the time you are offered is very limited, you have 4 hours and what I pay for a locked and the service is 28 dollars and don’t get me started on the sauna. The sauna when I arrived wasn’t working and it was uncomfortable hot not in a good way.
This place has gotten worse over the years. It's not what it was a few years back. You now only get 4 hours (instead of 6) but are paying like $5 more at the door. They also close early on the week days. The last few times I have been there there were only a few guests and a few times it was only myself and like 1 or 2 other people. Also I don't want to be mean but I gotta be honest, the men who go there are not attractive-at all, for the most part. If I see a halfway cute guy it's like winning the lottery. I'll leave it at that, to be respectful, but you get my drift. A few years back it wasn't like that. However the worst thing here is the staff. There has always been a problem with customer service, IMO, at this place. On a recent visit a front desk associate was extremely rude and aggressive towards me. This place still has potential but needs to really get it together. They should maybe do a discount for younger guests, or hold a college night where younger dudes get in for free. I don't know. They don't seem to want to market this place out to a younger crowd.
