The Club

The Club, known locally as Club Columbus, is a gay bathhouse in the University District just northwest of downtown, part of The Clubs, a national chain of private men's saunas that has been running for over 50 years. Open around the clock, its well-kept facilities include a seasonal outdoor heated pool, a whirlpool with swim jets, a steam room, a dry sauna, a circuit gym, two lounges, a media room, a gazebo, and private rooms, with free on-site parking. Straightforward, reliably clean and no-frills, it draws a friendly, diverse crowd, is a regular draw for its summer Sunday cookouts, and consistently earns praise for cleanliness and welcoming staff.
