River Street Club

River Street Club is the only gay bathhouse in the Albany area, a private men's club just across the river in Troy that has long served the Capital Region's gay community. Set over two floors, it offers a sauna, steam room, hot tub, showers, a small gym, a TV lounge, and a range of private rooms, from standard cabins to video and larger VIP rooms, with the usual bathhouse play areas. Membership is required, day passes are cheap, and weekly specials and theme nights keep a friendly, mixed-age local crowd coming back, with a younger after-work crowd thanks to the area's many colleges.
