Crew Club

The Crew Club is a clean, accessible bathhouse that is more than adequate.
The facilities include a large maze steam room, a sauna, a small gym, an open group shower area, a tv lounge with a very large flat screen tv, a play area with a sling, as well as lockers and private rooms. There is also a hydro-​massage table, which I found quite enjoyable.
The facilities are well kept and clean, and while some of the staff can be a bit surly, they seem to do their jobs well. I did find the steam room and sauna to be barely warm, but other than that everything else seems to be functional.
It can be a bit pricy — $ 16 for a one month membership, plus anywhere from $ 20-​$ 30 for a locker or a room. However, they do have half price deals on Tuesdays as well as during lunch time hours.
The crowd is hit or miss like anywhere else, but on Tuesdays and on the weekends, there are enough people to find what you’re looking for.

I was there last night and turnout to be just OK.
There was around 15 men and still adding when left by 11 Pm. I heard people come in much later but could not stay that late.
Street parking took me 35 min to find at 830 pm. 14^th street corridor was jamming with people walking and dinning.
HIT OR MISS…
Older men… all sizes and races.
Somehow I find the place too bright tho the spot lights was dimmed. It did not give me a sexual/​cruising feel. Interior looked too nice to be a bathhouse. The steam sauna looked like the place to be… cubicles mazing around the interior of the steam sauna… now that’s more like it.
I was not there for the staff so just ignore them and process you and enter.
Did not see tanning bed/​water massage bed.
It look like a boutique hotel but a Bath house/​gym.
Lets try going there Tuesday’s for half price lockers and rooms. Heard was really crowded.

I realize that writing a review of the Crew Club here is not as customary as, say, opining on the new tapas bar in your recently-​gentrified neighborhood. Regardless, this place has its share of out-​of-​towners, and it’s dubious that Frommer’s will give them much information about it.
The staff is amiable, with a dry sense of humor. You aren’t in Charleston, S.C., so expect to hear something like «5 dollars» if you ask «What’s the difference between this $ 24 amenity and the $ 29 one?»
The music is great (I think it’s just SiriusXM’s BPM channel without «bumpers», but I could be wrong), albeit a bit loud. Of course, this could be a good thing if you are having difficulty staying awake and alert.
The clientele? We’re Washingtonians (or VA/​MD suburbanites, like me). We may not be the friendliest people in the world, but we take care of ourselves, we’re direct, and we know what we want. That goes a long way. Also, I’ll take the Crew Club over Spa World any day.

Great place with a dedicated staff and a constant attention to quality. This is no dungeon: the place is kept clean and bright, though the more private areas are dimmed and filled with house music. It’s something of a last bastion in the DC metro area, so go, have fun, and tip well. Tuesdays are incredibly crowded due to reduced pricing, but otherwise the week is steady and the weekend sees, understandably, the biggest, most varied crowds.
