The East Side Club in New York should NOT be confused with the West Side Club! They are TOTALLY different. Other than one being on the East Side of Manhattan (hence the name), they are worlds apart in demeanor, decor and likeability. This review of the club most readers THINK they are going to.
West Side Club is at 27 W 20th Street in Chelsea, NYC (Manhattan). The West Side Club is where many boys (locals and out of towners) go after the bars and clubs have closed.
For a $20-30 "membership" you get full access to a relatively clean space, a towel and an appropriate hot and steam sauna (both no bigger than a bathroom stall), two shower, booths and small video area. For a larger, more private "room," it will cost you a bit more. Frankly, I'd like more than a way too cold shower for my dollar, but that seems to be a minor detail to the owners.
The later it gets, the better the clientele, which is a mixture of your typical older guys, younger guys, and between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. a nice smattering of hot after-hours club boys looking for a quickie. There seem to be a number of guys who spend the evening there doing whatever, but that too can be entertaining to the adventurous. Always be safe though.
There was no sense of danger, hostility, or unwanted inappropriateness on my visit(s). There are typically taxis waiting out front at all hours so getting home after a night of fun should not be a problem.

Staff is ok - the usual roughness if you are a visitor. Place is clean and fairly good condition. Just forget about using sauna or steamroom - not worth the name. Not exactly cheap.

I don't go to the East Side Club frequently but the times I have been there I had no problem with the staff. I am somehow expecting some attitude from the patrons as we live in New York and it is sometimes expected. I am concerned with the comments about the employees' attitudes though. I approach this places with some nervousness and honestly rudeness on the part of the staff is the last thing I would have to worry about. I hope someone is reading this reviews and decides to help these employees to greet their customers more politely.

The staff here are OK. Andy on the other hand at the front desk is a joke. He lacks proper prose, and clearly has had a most horrible upbringing. Andy single handdedly is costing the place a fortune in non-returning customers, assuming they stay. Others just turn around at the gate.

I have gone to the east side club for the last 3 years, the staff has been always polite and a couple of them even fucked me in the past. however I visited the club last night and there was a big black guy monitoring and cleaning who was very rude and nasty (not that I have anything against black people)he was rude and coursing out some customers who were in the toilets because he needed to mop the floor in there. he was trying to flirt with me and because I didn't follow him to where he wanted to follow him, he started to give me attitude and call me names each time I passed by. That didn't matter to me so I just ignored him. Other than that I had a lot of fun at this place. The people who attend this club is basically over their 40's, Ill say half 25%trolls, 25%whales, and 50% decent looking guys.

I disagree about the staff, I got fucked by one of them and fucked one, both of them were pretty hot. I passed out in my little room after a long night of drinking and fucking, and when I walked out of my room early next morning, one of the staff members walked by, we made eye contact, he came into my room, pulled his cock out, fucked me doggy style, zipped up and left. Great way to start your day :-)

Went there on a Friday evening and was very positively surprised by the huge number of very attractive, mature men there. After cruising for a while, I went with an older man to his room. He was huge and I got the best cock I've had in years. And to me, all the staff were very polite and accommodating. Been ther since, and despite not having met my "man", I've had many other good experiences. I live in Europe and can warmly recommend the East Side Sauna.

I happen to think that the East Side Sauna is a very good establishment. I go on Thursday evenings and it's mostly the clientele, not the staff--including the great Mr Dexter and Andy--who are the pits. A very clean and quiet atmosphere.

I have spent my holidays in NYC and went to the East Side Club. I have to say most of the staff is unfriendly as other reviews say here. My English is not the best and the man did nothing for me to understand him. He was very unpolite. He didn´t look at me when I said "good bye" as if I was a thing or an animal. Moreover, the "sauna" was closed, so I couldn´t enjoy it. I think the staff would have to see we are customs and they should draw a smile at least on their faces when someone new arrives.

The Eastside Club staff are the most unfriendly people ever....I always wonder "what's eating them".....I always have a good time there....but it certainly isn't because of the snarly staff.

I always had a great time at this sauna when I lived in the city, (6 years)never was the front man rude. The place is clean and full of many different types of men.

Most of the staff is quite unfriendly (there are exceptions). Most of the clientele is fairly friendly - and I am no Adonis. The crabs are free. The showers are usually cold.

excuse me but the former comment is somehow racist, not need to specify an employer's race if you wanna complain about the sauna

Called The East Side Club around 9pm yesterday to inquire about price and your "Free Trial Membership" with the ad. Arrived at your establishment at 11:45 pm. Firt I said good evening to the club's "Front Man" a black Islander. He said nothing. I said to him that I had called early and was informed that I could use the ad. He looked at me and said that he was not going to accept it. I said but... I called early. He started spewing out so many profanities in a rapid fire style that I froze. I took a breath and said but it says here in the ad 4 pm to midnight. He said but not for you... and more profanities. I braced myself and asked my last question. Can you please tell me what are the hours then... I took a $20 cab ride here. He said not now and more profanities. I bolted out of The East Side Club immediately. I thought if I dared asked another question The East Side Club "Front Man" would pull out a gun on me. During my 28 years of New York, I have never heard or seen anyone be so nasty and repelent. If there was an Olympic medal for nastiness that "Islander Front Man" would unquestionably be a winner.
