Steamworks Baths Berkeley

I'm 41yo and just went here; my 1st bathouse (ever), a couple weeks ago. My friend/buddy/lover took me. We got all private room and enjoyed ourselves. A romantic in a bathouse?! It wasn't my style I really, but I can't say it's my once & only try. Under different circumstances, I may try again!

I been coming here for the last 10+ years and never have disappointed me. It’s my sanctuary in where I can get away from the craziness of the world. Great place to be especially on a Friday night

When it’s busy, their policy of helping all VIPs before anyone else is a huge frustration. When two people are checking guys in, there should be one checking in VIPs and one checking in other customers. I waited for 30 minutes when there were only 2 people ahead of me because they help VIPs in both lines before others.

I was looking forward to coming here but it was a disappointing experience. The guy who checked me in wasn’t very helpful and the other clientele there were rude and stuck up. Im older and heavier and while there I was the target of rude comments about my body. Nobody is perfect. I feel sorry for the people who made such comments for it’s a glaring sign of their insecurity. Enjoy your freedom to express your gay American selves. In some parts of the world this is a dream, and in those parts of the world one is simply told no thanks if theres no attraction. I hadn’t even opened my moth or had a chance to ogle.

Steamworks Baths in Berkeley was a disappointing experience. The wait was excessive, with a 50-minute line to get in during Folsom. While there are many rooms but a very small place to play and crowed, the overall space felt cramped, making it difficult to enjoy the atmosphere. I expected more.

Dear [Steamworks Team], I’m writing to share my experience at your establishment on July 1st, between 2:00 PM and 5:45 PM. Unfortunately, I encountered a situation that left me feeling disrespected. As I was leaving, I was approached by a short, Latino employee with glasses who asked for my last name. After I provided it, he laughed, made a comment, and then repeated my full name aloud in a manner I found inappropriate and unprofessional. I believe that maintaining customer privacy and showing respect are essential in any service setting, and this behavior was neither respectful nor appropriate. While I chose not to address the situation at the time to avoid disrupting other customers, I feel strongly that employees should be trained to handle customer interactions with more discretion and professionalism. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration so that future customers do not experience similar discomfort. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Service and clientele are getting worse....10 minutes in line without anyone being checked in, on a slow night that is "less busy than normal", is ridiculous! As are the line jumpers! Do better, SW!
