Club Ottawa

Club Ottawa is the only gay bathhouse in Canada's capital, a long-running, no-frills men's club in the Hintonburg/Westboro area, a little west of downtown. Straightforward and old-school in the best sense, it offers a dry sauna, steam room, showers, a video lounge, a play area, private rooms (some with mirrors and slings), and glory holes, with free condoms and towels. It draws a friendly, masculine, multicultural and mostly mature crowd, runs a monthly blackout night, and tends to be busiest on weekday afternoons and weekends, making it a relaxed, welcoming spot to unwind and connect.
