Missing action
The place was little disappointing.. There is only one dark room section. No leather slings. No dark cabins.. It could do well if they upgrade their facilities.
Things aren't what they seem...
High staff turnover which is not a good sign, weekdays are dead with weekends only being busy for two hours in the evening unless you stick around for the drugged up club crowd well after midnight. Place is clean but with such few customers why wouldn't it be. Word is to entice customers into the place...there are a high number of fake profiles on various sites claiming the place is "busy" of late. Don't fall for it.
Great place of gay sauna
I have twice to visit this place and feel fresh, tide, clean and the staff is very nice. The fee is reasonable and the deposit can be refundable. Not like the others such as F212 and Steam 1. The staff of F212 and Steam 1 are not kind and they requested unreasonable extra 5 dollars and not refundable. This becomes more expensive and the total fee is the most expensive. But Steamworks is good and nice guy with nice face. I have got a lot of fun but sometimes would meet not nice people inside. When I passed through them, they acted as elegant and refused to let you go near. However, I was not going to approach them and also they should look at the mirror to see their face. Why such people so pride and impolite? They should respect others for all has the same right. The path is not themselves. Besides this, I like Steamworks very much and if I have time, I will go again. Also introduce others.
Not like Chicago
I thought this would be like steamworks in Chicago. But very disappointed it wasn't. However this is a decent bath house but not one you should go out of your way to visit. Upstairs has the gym steam room and showers. steam room isn't that great, you have to wait a long time for it to cycle and the way it's built steam escapes to quickly so you never really get to use it for a long interval. The place is 80% clean. Downstairs has all the rooms and a really fun maze area of dark areas.
Very cold, not much action
When I first entered it seemed like the Toronto location which is actually really good, I was very dissapointed though. It seemed like they were trying to save on heat as the temperature was low. The hot tub was luke warm at best, the steamroom even if you push the button does not get very hot. It seemed there were many guys there but not a lot of action at least not that I saw. If you want to take a longer shower you have to keep pushing the button. Also it is located near the east hastings skid row of Vancouver so if you leave early in the morning there are lots of weirdos roming the streets. It seems they are really trying to cut convers here. I would suggest going to f212 instead as it is much better.
