AZ Chute

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.
