Very welcoming, and well-maintained - with regular cleaning and maintenance obvious. Fun environment with lots of activity, although there were dry sauna hogs. A repeat visit is planed.
The worst sauna I’ve ever visitedFlow at the entrance counter is taking so longThey do ask for your ID one by one causing a very long line for waiting. The waiting time on the line was crazy it wasnt even necessary .The place has no public drinking water and vending machines are broken I felt so dehydrated and was forced to drink the water from the handwashing faucet that tasted awful. I ask if I could go outside and buy something to drink the answer was obviously NO.I also asked if theres a drinkable water somewhere ofcourse the answer is NO. The place is very small and it doesnt have pool or jacuzzi. The dark room is very tight. And the worst is that the steam sauna felt like a normal room temperature with fake steam smoke thats it. Most of the areas are very lighted even in sauna area so if the so if you are not the good looking well Good luck.Most of the areas in this sauna place if not lighted its cold .This place needs to improve a lot and the funny part is in the lounge area they only show a regular tv show feels like youre just in your living room.
The admission process is absolutely ridiculous. I have gotten in federal buildings faster than entry into this place. Fix your process. It’s not customer focused at all. 45 minutes Ina line to get in is insane. There no explanation for why check in takes so long.
Entry is free for young men. Great sights, hot sauna, and private rooms for rent. Some reviews here say it's nasty, but this is easily the cleanest and classiest club I have ever been to.

So I had never been to this place as I was always told this was the "white club" and we persons of color weren't specifically invited. After the closing of 2120, I started looking into this place and decided to check it out for myself. After reading the reviews online all I saw were negative... "staff is rude" "staff is disrespectful" " long lines and waits" etc. I decided to go anyway and experience it myself. I have been twice and both times were fun experiences. The staff was very polite, spoke kindly, and greeted me with a smile. The staff member who cleaned the inside was friendly and kind. My only complaint is the footprint is small. Not a problem of the staff or establishment per se' its just the building layout
This place is honestly not worth it, even as the only gay sauna in Washington, DC. Here’s why you should avoid it:Overpriced with No Amenities:The prices are ridiculously high compared to saunas in the U.S. that offer more, such as jacuzzis or pools. This place has none.Freezing Steam Room:The steam room is shockingly cold – you'll feel chilly even with a towel wrapped around you. On top of that, the lights are blindingly bright, completely ruining any relaxing vibe.Lack of Accessibility to Basics:Free condoms are only available on the first floor, but no one tells you this when you grab your towel. Worse, there’s no free lube anywhere in the entire facility.No Play Areas Without Extra Cost:Unbelievably, there’s nowhere to have fun unless you pay extra for private rooms. The only options are a bird-hole dark room or a single bench in a corner. This setup is unheard of for U.S. gay saunas.No Drinking Water:There's no direct access to drinking water in the entire facility. Many customers bring their own large water bottles, which is just absurd.If you’re looking for a relaxing or exciting time, skip this place. While it’s somewhat okay for an overnight stay due to minimal noise, it’s an absolute disappointment otherwise. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I went here for the first time in ages. Yes the decor is dated and imperfect but I went for the guys. There were plenty of hotties all size and shapes which I enjoy. LOL a few staff members seemed spaced out but who cares I went for guys. Some of these reviews must be trolls because we had a great time.
The wait time to check in is ridiculous. People in like for upwards of 20-30 mins for a shift change. This place really needs a better streamlined process
The guys that answer the phone there are so disrespectful!!! I called to see what the rate was for the evening, someone answered the phone I said could you tell me what the rates are for a small room this evening, he repeated my exact words and I said yes, then he slames the phone in my face. I call back a 2nd time and a different person answers, I asked the same question, he repeats my question back to me and I said yes. He then says have you ever tried using the web site we're busy. I said you dont know what the rates are there? He didnt even reply and hung up on me, I think that I so rude!!! These guys there act like they could care less!!!!
Excellent customer service. Came to relax after work and a nice young man named Bradley gave me a nice rim job. Facilities are very clean, even after the...
This place is terrible. The font door safe like their in a rush. The black guy who couldn't do basic math ask as if he somewhere other than a bathouse. It is the same venue but the staff are rude and elitist but for real my watch alone is equal to weeks pay. Treat all people with kindness you never know who is front of you
I went on a Sunday and the place was packed lots of mature men and the younger ones started showing up as the day progressed. The sauna's were both working...
Looking forward to visiting this place on our way down. Total disappointment and waste of money.This is place is small. The rooms were a joke. We left after an hour. Steam room was not hot and poorly laid out.
It's pretty good for what it is but omg, the music is beyond awful. I don't know who listens to the foul-mouthed, repetitious, angry and self-loathing hip...

This review as I stand in the lobby while they let one person in at a time in 10 minute intervals. There are 13 guys in front of me. Then the cashier announces a shift change which stops the line completely for 5 more minutes. I'm out. This place has no respect for their customers.
As someone who likes to visit men saunas and have done across US and America. This is one of the worst experiences ever.Only one small sauna and steam room, neither heated enough to help u sweat and rilax. Is lacking some deep cleaning in general. Eventhough sbowers worked properly and with soap. U can also buy drinks, choose between lockers and rooms.Regardimg as a place for men encounters u have access to condoms, the private rooms and two small areas with a screen XXX. Nothing more. Mgmt should learn from places like Chicago.No photos added due privacy and local rules
Great place to relax staff keeps things sanitized and well lit also provided free health screens via the lobby as well as full gym two floors and rest area
The Crew Club is open once more? I went to the club before it closed and it really needed improvement it had the wòrce Steamroom I have ever been in! The steam room was way to big for the small amount of steam coming out it needs a lot more jets added..The club could use a big hot tub. The night I was there it was very dead and way to many 350 pound guys!
So I've visited many bathhouses in my day, the majority of the time the staffs are kinda eh but I wanted to thanks to Raymond for making my quick in and out...
If several of the reviewers laude the steam room as a great place for, "gay,' men to get together to have public sex, it is not one i want to belong to. Get...
Waste of time. I remember the first time this place opened. What a change. Not welcoming. Unnecessary long wait at the entrance but not crowded inside. The sheet given had stains, slippery when put on. The towel was big, I got lost in it. It was hot, there was no air circulation inside. People were awful. No clue why they were there. They kept walking around and around.
Warning!!!!!The most disgusting sauna I ever been in my life.Arrogant staff,shady business,smelly place,The most scary bathhouses,not safe & worst to the max.This establishments should be close coz a lots of nasty going on this place.Don’t ever patronize coz u will regret & a total waste of money & time.

Ok, i normally try not to judge through the reviews and give the benefit of the doubt BUT i went here against my better judgement.The Good:Decent sized place, lots of rooms, amentities, and the staff is nice. I think it would be perfect if the setup was slighlty different. Nice that all types of guys feel welcome.The Bad:I get its a sex club and men are doing gross things but is the aesthics sleaze and filth? I just kept thinking about how dirty the floor and almost everything looked, it was hard to be aroused. How is this level of cleanliness acceptable for this business? Just a little polish would make this place great and more inviting. I cant go back knowing how atrocious those floors are. Ive been to bathhouse before and I've just never felt as unsanitary as i did there.
For bathhouses it isn't too bad, but it definitely leaves you wanting. The space is amazing but could use a better setup. The place had an odd smell, it was either the cleaning agent or a sign more ventilation is needed.
Worst gay sauna ever.The maintenance were sorting out the sauna cubicle and the showers at the same time we were there.We were unable to use them for more then 2h.Then when the sauna started work, the heater inside was like the ones you have at home. Very bad. The steam room was noisy and impossible to stay too long.The tv’s weren’t working. Only one!There’s no BAR! How’s this possible? And the vending machine only have snacks. Not even waterHowever the entrave and the lounge is very pretty and chic. Great choice of furniture.VERY overpriced for what u get.
Mark is a nice manager and always willing to help, got quite busy last night Sep 29, so many hot guys and young kids between 18-24 can be found. It really depends the date. 5 stars!
Going downhill fast and furious.Its a weekend and they have one person to check in! 20 person waiting outside over an hour. Taking 10 minute per person to check in. And they take a shift break and over 20 min no one is checking people in. Disrespect to the customer is beyond imagination. They literally shut the window down in the middle of conversation with someone.I mean i took the more than occasional dysfunctional steam room, shower as granted. Erratic employees once in a while okkkk. The saunas are vanishing away and beggars can’t choose. But this is way way too much even for me.Guess this is what happens when there’s no competition in DMV areas. Well people will stop to come and only people you will left up with will be drug addicts like many other saunas
It’s a nice place. The only complaint I have is that they keep AC on on the fullest making it super cold to roam around in towels. I got sick because it was so cold. They should keep a track of temperature and adjust it accordingly. Thanks
Processing time is just too bad just awful, you will really have to wait, facing other people for like 40 mins at best. if you go other times just orderly people don’t expect hot guys at other times , DO NOT expect hot guys at other times. Other wise sandals should be provided but are not
Watch out !!! This is a scam place. I was visiting from out of town and I wanted to check this place out since i love to go to bathhouses. This one was very unusual. It was a Saturday night, I waited for an hour in line just to realize that by the time we got in , it was not very busy at all. But let me go back a bit , when it was my turn to pay, the clerk told me about the prices for each offering so i wanted to get a room. I gave him my cc and paid for a room only to be given a locker. I told him I’m sorry i did pay for a room and I was given a locker and of course after the attitude and the sass I was given -me being a paying customer I was given- I was finally given a room key . Oh it gets better , he never gave me back my cc. That was another story . I told him sir you never gave me my cc . His answer was . No, I did!!! I told him no you didn’t. You kept it next to your computer and I NEED MY CARD NOW!!! So please be watchful or don’t go there it ISNT WORTH IT AT ALL !
Overall it was a fun experience 😁 my first time visiting DC..last night was amazing. Place needs a little remodeling, nice staff, clean facility I'll definitely go back next time I'm in town
Super negative attitude over the phone when calling. Guy clearly didn’t want to talk and was super abrupt and hostile. C’mon, man. Seriously? Decided against going after this.Edit:After reading other reviews it seems people are generally pointing out the extremely rude staff. You guys suck — go out of business and let someone who cares about their job take over.
The staff literally has the intelligence of a cue ball - rude, insipid, lacking in any form of simplistic courtesy. After all supposedly it is a sex club...
It is still crowded at 3 am on Saturday and Sunday morning, since the sauna has the policy of ages 18-24 get free membership and locker, all day, every day. You can expect college students and military personnel on-site randomly and very frequently, try your luck! :D======================I saw many complaints about the ID check and long line...ALL saunas in America (including those in LA, Chicago, Seattle, SF, etc) need to check the ID and record personal information. If you don't feel it necessary, fly to Thailand or Brazil.These check-in processes won't stop me from coming over.
I get that it is July 4th, but can the business stay consistent!?! I walked in and mentioned to the doorman that my ID is in their system. And the rude old man refused to hear another word from me and then slammed their little port hole of a window in my face! Then not even 10 minutes passed, and the same old man allows another customer admittance!!! This employee requested the customer write his first and last name on a slip of paper, then allowed him through to the next door!!! The old man completed this customers sale, collected his money, and nearly an hour later STILL refused to speak to me!!!During my time left in the lobby, I also noticed he was telling everyone the cost was $38 and only when the customers inquired the price he stated, he would then provide the customer with the correct price, $27. So they are inconsistent on soooo many levels!!! Because all customers UNDER 25 are stated on their website to be provided with free entry. They clearly will only let a select few people to enter without an ID, AND lastly I suppose no one is counting the tills, because the employees are clearly pocketing money from their customers, and today's world is too expensive enough... we surly don't need scamming individuals to be up-charging for a venue that rarely is providing a fully operational venue!!!DC needs a better place to go that provides safe and EQUAL treatment for everyone, not only those whom are favored and when it's convenient for their liking!
I went during Black Gay Pride Memorial Day weekend. Very disappointed! First off the guys at the desk are unnecessarily rude. Totally killed the vibe coming in. I could tell they don't like their jobs. Once you get upstairs you are met with this nasty smell. The main tv in the lobby was playing Zombie movie. It was weird AF. The guys there were the guys you see stalking you at the gym. Old and out of shape and just nasty looking. Very little Black guys were in there yet it was suppose to be Black Gay Pride. After this visit I could see why. It was just sad and depressing.
Made a blank trip here this Saturday because they had to fix some piping of whatever. Spent more on travel than the cover this place 😔. Would be nice if you guys changed your hours in the map app to reflect your closing
Be ready for a very long wait time and a subpar experience. The facility itself is mediocre at best but lacks the overall amenities that other larger cities provide. You’d be better off saving your money and time and going on an app. Stay away.
Don’t waste your time and money. Worse organization of sauna ever. Friday night 20 persons in club and 15 outside waiting. “Entrance processing” per person takes 10 min minimum. Clientele bearish 40+ not playful crowd. Club instself feels lack of love with worn, smelly and broken things.
I called to ask them about rates and etc… the guy seemed pretty rude over the phone. I wanted to check the place out. From all the reviews I seen I don’t think I’ll be going.
The sauna is always broken, there is a big screen TV in the leaving room that shows regular movies and that works via the Internet, unfortunately the...
Dry sauna out of order, wet sauna out of order. Staff unpleasant. Pretty dirty overall. Crowd is much below average gay guys… I do not recommend that place.
Rudest staff ive ever met in a bathhouse. No play areas. Broken sauna for months. When there's an actual crowd the entire place falls apart and staff somehow becomes more angry when there are actual people there
Bice after renovation. A little but chill in the room. Clean. I loved it and recommend to anyone. 4,5 stars.However…. I thought I suppose to have an extra benefits on my persona for the stay, etc. I guess this time I got a substituted room, while someone took mine… we gotta stop doing it, guys! Put 1 star for my personal experience.Said it with love.Maybe next time we do better.Hug..
Second most boring bath house I have been to, everyone was to hung up to play. Not many public places to get things started. The "dark rooms" are the size of closets and it has the coolest sauna I have ever been in almost needed a parka. Clean as far as places like this go.
Could use some updates on the toilets, steam room wasn't hot, and the overall vibe was a tad dingy.However, it's a bath house and as long as you know what is going on its perfectly fine. Crowd sucked for me but maybe its more fun on weekends or if you are the right type of guy.I liked Club Philly more tbh but it was still fun to go.
Sooooo much fun! I went on a Friday night and the place was packed. I got a room for some privacy and then walked around the place. There were so many guys to choose from. I just took one after another to my private room. I was exhausted at the end of the night. What an experience!

Been to bathhouses all over the world. Crew Club is certainly my least favorite of them all. It’s hard to compare American saunas to those in Europe which are far superior, but the prices alone Crew Club charges are reason enough to pass on it. Membership fees plus a locker fee? What a joke.
Some of the staff is nice some of them are a big Judgemental and Definitely exercise the gate keeper clause by accepting coronavirus virus’s cards for some and not others. A great to disguise Be accepted in the not. One day I was accepted and the other i was denied access with the same documentation. Same letter I wrote to the manager.
Must safer then Glorious arts and now it's kicking I remember the shelter days we all called crew club the executive showers and Spa and just as nice today
So I visit is placed Doing my college years with some dorm buddies. Being young has it in its advantage but a lot of my friends we felt like the older man...
DO NOT GO HEREIt is derelict. The say the steam room is not working, but the sauna is off and most of seating out of action. They are not heating the venue or cleaning it.Please do not go. It is not a heathy place to be. They are just rinsing for cash before closing.
First of all, I did not visit the club and I will tell you why. I am visiting from San Francisco and my friends who live here in DC told me the Crew Club...
Place is going to hell. It was once one of the best in the North East, bur over the last 6 months something changed:-It's dirty and and some areas are...
