Crew Club — Local services in Washington

I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience, checked some things off my list I didn't think I would get to. The saunas worked and were very hot, lots of steam in the steam one which kinda made it hard to see but that might be a tall people problem as I'm 6'4. The dry sauna got nice and hot the only issue is it's a bit small so when people come in and then leave after 60seconds because no one interacted with them awkwardly sitting in the corner, a lot of the heat escapes.

I was too scared to go into any of the dark rooms, for the obvious reason I couldn't see in there. One of them had a weird platform with steps in the center but everyone seemed to slip around the side of it which I found a bit creepy, just standing at the entrance I could feel whoever was in there watching me, I felt like a prey animal and decided to check out other things. As I turned to walk away a single hand reached out from the void of the dark room and tried to grab my arm, not for fully or aggressively probably just to let me know he was there but a disembodied arm coming out of the dark scared me off.

I don't really understand the etiquette here, it seems like anything goes and people will make attempts but everyone I interacted with was respectful of consent. They would make their attempt slowly and look at you to see if you want them to stop, no one got upset when I told them no. The only issues with consent I had were 2 guys I couldn't see because it was dark, couldn't speak any English and not speaking the same language makes consenting a bit hard, when I asked them to please stop or told them no they wouldnt and I would have to physically remove them from me. (I know they don't speak English because they said "no English")

The rooms were pretty small but it was nice to have one, after some strenuous activities I used it to take a little 20 minute power nap. The signal to invite someone to a room is straightforward, leave the door open and do whatever you are going to do. People wander around the halls looking for what interests them so many people will see you in whatever glory you are comfortable to reveal. Being an exhibitionist this was one of my favorite things to do. They will stop and watch or come in to touch and ask to join and again all you have to do is say no thank you if someone doesn't interest you. There is a TV above the door playing some spicy gay content which was pretty good quality and I found myself enjoying it with my door open for all to see. I didn't get a chance to see the bigger rooms because they were sold out, however I did hear an announcement for someone's room upgrade being ready so I assume you can ask for the next one that's available. They were also very clean, throughout the night I saw a guy coming and going cleaning and sanitizing the rooms after guests had left and I saw him quite often so he was doing quite a bit of cleaning.

If you are a younger guy like me, in your 20s and you are looking for guys your age you will want to come before midnight. It seemed like after that point almost all the younger attractive guys had left and the quality of prospects and their physical fitness went down considerably.

It was interesting and a bit amusing to change the scene in a room. One minute no one is there other than the occasion wanderer, then I would start entertaining myself and a few minutes later 10 people have stopped to watch and participate in different activities, all because I decided to sit down in a room and show off a bit. My point is, if you don't see something you like going on, it is fairly easy to get a raunchy little party going anywhere inside, all you have to do is start it and people will quickly flock to you for some fun.

I saw a lot of reviews about the entrance process and buying things. I have no idea why it took so long to check people's IDs but it was maybe 15-20 minutes? I noticed people saying no water was available, they have a huge fridge full of water available for purchase and lube as well. I could see how a free water fountain would be nice but lube...

This was my first bathhouse experience, so I didn't know what to expect. My partner has been to bathhouses, mostly in Europe, before, so I wanted to take him here to try it out.

I had read a bit about it, and the reviews a few places, but you can never really tell (Normally the crazy people are the ones writing one star reviews in all caps and exclamation points, LOL).

We headed there after hitting up a few clubs in downtown DC. It was around 2am Saturday Night / Sunday Morning. We had to wait a while (around 15-20 minutes) to be buzzed in but they were busy, so we understood. In the meantime, my partner and I just chatted it up with the others waiting in the lobby.

When we were finally buzzed through, one at a time, we paid our $25 for a locker and got on the waiting list for a room. (I was on guard expecting an attitude from the staff, based on the reviews I had read, but they were all friendly). They handed us our fresh towels and locker keys and we headed upstairs to undress. We jumped past the gym and tanning area downstairs. Upstairs, they were playing an adult movie on the big screen near lockers and seating. I honed in on the snack table and took note for later (they provide water, sodas, cookies, chips, etc. and have additional vending), since I had been drinking prior in the night.

We entered the wet sauna and saw some action pretty quickly. We then headed to the dry sauna to relax. There were about 4-5 guys in there with us, and everyone was very respectful. After sweating it out in the sauna for a half an hour, we stepped outside to shower. We walked the halls and checked out the open rooms and it looked like most of the people there were having a great time.

Shortly after, our number was called to upgrade our room. We headed downstairs, switched out our towels, and got our room key and clean sheets.

On our way back, we headed by a few more rooms to watch the action and stopped by the darkly lit sling area.

We headed to our room to have our own, private, fun. A couple of hours later, we headed home.

Overall, I would say the Crew Club exceeded my expectations. My partner and I are fit, and didn't expect to see others in shape. At least half of the people there that night were in relatively good shape, and there was someone for everyone. All sizes, races, ages. I was also impressed that everyone was respectful. My partner and I were not looking to engage with anyone (other than one another), and everyone caught on to that.

I think it's awesome that places like this are still around. Where guys can come together, have a little fun (whatever their version of fun is), and be respectful of one another.

We'll definitely hit it up next time...

Went there for the first time with my BF a week ago, and had an ok experience. Not necessarily the fault of CC (Crew Club).

We arrived late and after we parked and walked towards the entrance we saw a lot of the younger guys leaving (about 1ish am) for the night.

There were still a lot of guys in the club but the younger crowd that my BF and I are attracted to had left or left shortly after we arrived...

I highly recommend wearing some sort of sandals while walking around inside especially when you have to walk by the open urinals lol it's a little wet around that area and who knows if it's water or other 😆..

Most everyone is respectful and don't openly grope you unless you give them the nod or wink for them to play.

The place seemed clean for the most part with workers constantly on the move cleaning up after everyone... I saw a decent amount of condom wrappers on the floor in different areas, but! No actual used condoms lying around.

Expect a crowd to gather rather quickly if you start doing some action in the common areas..

Prices were ok, and the front desk staff is a little rough, but understandably so considering the environment they are in and the many different personalities that they have to deal with on an all day everyday scale.. one could only imagine the issues they have to contend with..

Would be nice to have some info posted about getting a drink or something there if available. Talked to another guy there and he/we were thirsty but didn't notice the water cooler by the front desk until we were leaving.

Steam room was nice, and the sauna was muy caliente!

My many thanks to the cleaning staff for the round the clock work that has to be done to keep their patrons safe.

All in all it was a...
