'Bathhouse' in Flatiron and Williamsburg

[BaronArtz]

This popped up in my social media.  Has anyone been there yet?  

From their website, it seems to be a facility for men and women, offering steam, sauna, massage, hammam scrubs and even a small restaurant.  Dress code: bathing suit.  But who knows?

I wouldn't mind a steam, massage and lounge time to unwind ... It looks like it could be a good concept.

I mentioned in another thread a while back that we walked by there several months ago.  It looks like a very legit kind of place (ie. no hanky panky).  There were windows you could look through and see people (most were hetero couples) sitting at tables in robes eating and drinking.  Not a place I'd go if I was looking for a happy ending kind of gay massage.

I've been to the Flatiron location several times. They definitely try to cultivate a sexy vibe, but I think that's pretty strictly where it ends.

The crowd used to be a lot sexier and chiller and over time has become louder (usually men who are projecting their insecurity) and less what you want to be looking at, to be very blunt.

On the flip side, the Flatiron location does seem to draw a pretty diverse crowd, which is nice and (frankly a little unexpected) to see. Very, very hetero, but usually a few queer folk, too.
