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.

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.
