EROS a Queer Sex Club

The place could be great if it werent for these details:- When we arrived, there were only 2 people inside, and they should have told us. We did arrive an hour before closing, but they should have mentioned it when we asked.- Despite knowing it was almost empty, they still charged us. They said it was half-price, but paying $25 to find only 2 people inside for an hour seems a bit much. This goes back to my first point: they should have told us if it was worth going in. I understand they want to make money—thats why they started the business—but misleading customers isnt right.If you plan to go, make sure to check how many people are inside and avoid going too late. I havent been there when its busy, but it looks like it could be a good place.

This place is a rip off!!! They will charge a full membership fee just because you lost your card, pathetic! Not to mention it’s literally right in tenderloin; as you walk around you have a higher chance of getting shot (not excluding by fenny), stabbed, or run over by reckless drivers! The front desk person is totally unhelpful, fake, and clearly disinterested in his job or in customer service. Terrible, terrible place. This place does not treat their customers well.

Doug was a Sweetheart, really made an out of Towner welcome!!! I more than enjoyed my stay. The atmosphere was an awesome layout! Many Thanks!

I was hesitant to try out Eros new location given the review left by some people. I finally went and to my surprise the facility was quite nice and enjoyable. Granted, its smaller without sauna and steam room but all facilities are well maintained with good ambiance for fun. And I had fun. The staff were friendly and helpful. They seem to do their best to keep the play space clean and functional. I understand the big challenge of running this type of business after covid and truly appreciate the tenacity of management to keep this gay fun space open. Yes, its not perfect but its good enough and I still much prefer this space to meet and connect with my sex positive comrades than using grindr or scruff.

Delivers what it promises -- its not a bathhouse, its a sex club and I definitely get that. Ive been here 3 times and even on a slow night Ive found plenty of willing participants of various types to engage with. I prefer a younger crowd and that can be a bit thin here but Ive always been able to engage with at least one hot, much younger guy. There are no truly private spaces, and that works well for me. The bathroom/shower rooms are a bit rough, but not unclean and certainly functional. The play areas seem clean and well kept, with condoms and lube aplenty (not that many condoms are used). There is good video entertainment as well.

I went last Saturday afternoon. Had a great time. Great friendly crowd of guys (ages shapes etc). Place is clean with plenty of free lube and condoms. Staff is very welcoming to all. Fridays and Saturdays seem to be the best for me. There are a few regulars that do not make eye contact or allow you to touch them. Not sure why they are there. Just avoid them and you will have a great time.

I was in my early twenties and Eros was my first bathhouse. I was nervous entering but had the most amazing and liberating experience! Since there are no rooms, you can meet and play with someone (or more) and anyone interested can watch the action. I realized the thrill of sharing my thrilling experience for others enjoyment. Everyone was respectful. The front desk clerk even came back and introduced himself. I rather enjoy this type of place instead of hiding in a room!

Wow wow, this is one of those dingy places any gay man with some standards turn straight in :-) I do NOT recommend this one. It came up in a Google search for gay saunas, but clearly I should have read a bit better as there was no sauna in sight… and yes fair enough there was a one shower, hallelujah, but inside a disabled loo… and let’s not mention the clientele…No I mean it let’s not talk about them, it was too depressing

I really like the new location downtown. I think the location pulls in a lot more tourists because it’s located near all the hotels. It’s a easy trip for me from the Castro on the j train. It takes about 15min to get there. Would recommend attending on a Friday.

I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be returning in the current state. The layout is actually not bad but it’s pretty dated and the clientele is abysmal. I feel that a few things, like providing new towels that haven’t been bleached to death, will go a long way for this establishment and I do hope things pick up so they can make changes. The garden was cute and I appreciated the steam room. Anyways, up to you to check this place out but I will not be again.

I do not recommend. New location is far more difficult to get to if you have a car and not safe (right next to tenderloin). the limited operation hours suck, and the place doesn’t have as many amenities like their old location. Not worth the price when other bathhouses are the same and offer a lot more.

Responding to negative reviews with condescending retorts aint it. The implication that Steamworks is dangerous because its across the bay and near the train tracks is really silly. People complaining about dangerous neighborhoods dont deserve your attention anyway. All this time you spend responding to bad reviews with your story you dont even have anything on your website about your history, etc. Resist the temptation to reply.

They messed up so bad by moving to the tenderloin. I used to work a block away from that location a few years ago and I was mugged twice. No way am I ever going back to the most dangerous part of the city. Don’t waste your time and go to steamworks in Berkeley. I really want the best for them but putting customers in danger by moving to the tenderloin is beyond baffling. Sorry but I’m not risking my life.Edit: see that attitude from the owners response? Tells you all that you need to know. I’ll match that energy then. You didn’t have to pay for parking by the old eros location, lots of space near by but not anymore (you still don’t have to deal with that at steamworks). Less chance of car break in’s at steamworks, large venue, the neighborhood around steamworks is cleaner and not a homeless person in sight. If you’re outside of steamworks one can hear the Amtrak trains going by but you never see them, all the new safe development blocks the view. In fact there are family homes around the corner, unlike the tenderloin where Eros is. If they were good business people the Eros team could have negotiated a better location near the castro rather than the crime capital neighborhood of San Francisco.

Thinking about it, it has awful business hours.... why open when the majority of people are at work? I noticed the owner mentioned the 30min before closing and compared themselves to a Bar. This is not bar, there is no alcohol. This place closes at 11. Not 12 AM, 11. So it pretty much dies off at 10-10:30.Could use a bit more mirrors and a business remodel that expresses, Hey we are actually tying to make things better So far its settled and I dont think things will get better and it might eventually get swallowed by SFs insane prices and the owner eventually selling off the space.

Worst sauna Ive ever been to in my life. Too expensive, they charge you for the second towel, they dont give you flip-flops. The locker room smelled terrible. The bathrooms with no doors or the toilet. Dirty and looking bad. I give him a star because I cant give less.

I present my test with 72 hours and they refer to let me in… And also the receptionist encourage me to get the vaccine and I believe that is very inappropriate…. I completely understand the safety protocol to prevent the spread of the virus but I’m completely sure that if you guys asking for something you guys have to respect the rules.

Ive had some good times there. All ages of men, low attitude and horny. Unlike a bathhouse there are no really private spaces so her guys can stand around and observe or even participate, if desired. I like that communal feeling

Extremely friendly, Steam room always working (unlike Stream works in Berkeley), dry sauna, outdoor patio—overall great atmosphere. Traffic can be slow at times but a great place to meet local city guys.

POSITIVES-location is great. trans friendly. NEGATIVES-everything else is really lacking- no rooms, no hot tub, they close early (it says midnight but they shut off the porn and turn on the lights at 11:30pm), play space is dirty, music sucks, etc. In my opinion- its worth the trip to go to steamworks in east bay instead.

My visit was to have a massage but with the cash only policy, that makes Eros cumbersome and inconvenient. Maybe its the massage piece of the business that is not long for this world, rather than the sexual exploits. I took my business right down the street and purchased a massage at a spa. The massage was superior. I like to be loyal to body workers and John, the massage therapist at Eros, rocks For the record, Mr. Owner, I was not seeking a private room but a relaxing massage. Theres no need for me to visit other clubs because I may have found my new massage therapist today at the spa down the street. In an odd twist of fate, I may owe you a big thank you for sending there.

It could be a really nice place if you guys go there more often! Staff is friendly and the place is clean and okey. (I compare to 10-15 other saunas I have visited around the world). Enjoy!

Very lack luster. Came at 9 and left at 11 cuz they locked their doors at 11 and it was quite empty inside. Seems like this place used to be popping and now it lost its mojo. First time here and decided to check it out. Berkeley Steamworks really outshines this one. Also, I see that the owner replying about no private areas in SF sex clubs. That sucks. I guess Berkeley doesnt have such rules and gives them a massive edge. Install some glory holes lol.

Had never been so wanted to try it. The staff wasnt very friendly. The play-space wasnt very inviting. The ambience wasnt conducive. Overall the vibe was more reminiscent of the mens department at K-mart over a sex club.

Dont waste your money. The gentleman that patron this establishment are some of the most awful people I have ever encountered in my life and Im from Sydney, which is saying something. I got got nothing but attitude, and looks of utter disgust all because Im heavy set. One guy took such offence to me being there, he shoulder barged me four time. One of the worst nights of my life.

Horrible experience, never seen a place so dirty. Furniture very old, the all place smell awful. Very few people and not the ones you want to meet anyway. I stayed 15 mns only. Strongly advice not to go

Had probably the best massage of my life here, the staff were super nice and the facilities were clean and accommodating, also really friendly atmosphere.

This sauna is badly maintained, not clean, smelly. In one word: awful! And it is actually rather expensive too: to get in requires $22!

It is about time for upgrade to meet international standard. Beside, It is the only location in North SF Bay Area. Friendly staffs :)What? Cash only? Really? come on, lets get over with the flinstone.

The steam room an the sauna are amazing,I love to hangout an smoke on the patio that has a wide verity of succulents an hanging plants!!

I enjoyed the dancers who did Shake their Groove things in front of my face.I ENJOYED my self HUGELY. When I went home, I needed to watch some adult films again

I went there during my trip in San Francisco. The place is neat and friendly crowd too. :-) A memory that will last a lifetime. Haha

Inspirations🕳️aspirations🎼 motivations🔰 which way you put it in that is the same way youre going to have it but it all goes together

I thought it was interesting not to expensive and it gives a safe vine with discretion most of all nice place to just unwind

The last time I was there nothing but old dudes Im not looking to find my grandparent here.

Im an bi married man. Can I take my wife in this place? Can anyone tell me, or is it just for men?

FUN, clean, and friendly staff. A sure place to meet someone interesting.

Naaaaah, just naaaah. An extra star for very friendly stuff. But the place is naaaaah.

No power outlets, not enough seating.

So boring, almost empty every time I have decided to give it a chance.

Awesome is as awesome does 💯

Very clean and wonderful staff!

Nike place I like cool

Old facilites! The most of time, empty!

Love this place come n see me

Run down and quiet

Love this place!

Sauna not worthy of this name; in fact neither dry sauna nor hammam; for entertainment only, a long room with a few partitions made of curtains and pallets; a single shower reduced to a minimum; and for all this an exorbitant price of 30 dollars, really not deserved... As for the cleanliness...

Pathetic zero! its ugly its cold no cabin its not a bar its not a sauna its nothing and it must close this thing. to avoid lamentable nullity! its ugly its cold no cabin its not a bar its not a sauna its nothing and this thing needs to be closed. to avoid

The worst sauna in the world Ive ever been to! Not even worthy of a provincial sauna.No hygiene of the carpet in the locker room which smells bad but also in the hall upstairs, no closed cabins, no one, the showers work poorly, very expensive $27 and on top of that cash only. You are asked to leave your passport as a deposit for the locker. Its a joke........!!!EROS should come to Europe to understand what a real sauna can do.

Not clean...not maintained with carpet everywhere....not hygienic.....No closed cabins....no privacy. . Even the sauna is on. ...

Excellent

Nothing
